Have you joined Pinterest yet? Get started. It's a hoot.

Not only can you promote yourself, but it serves as a virtual affirmation board.

It gives you an opportunity to pin all the things you like, so it helps you to visualize your ideas better, locate objects you like, new concepts...narrow them down and make them specific, and share them with others. It's like a notebook or sketch book.

You also discover what interests you the most. If you have 200 pins on one topic and 3 pins on another, you can see what excites you the most.

I think of it as a series of visual articles. Say it with pictures!

Another fun thing about Pinterest is you connect with surprising people. I made friends with a cousin I've never met. She's a painter, like me, and we have similar taste. She repins my pins and I repin hers.

It's also a good reward, but be careful, pinning is addictive.
