10 Pintastic tools to grow your business

Are you using Pinterest to help market your business? Itโ€™s been a while since Iโ€™ve covered anything Pinterest on the blog, even though itโ€™s probably one of my favourite social networks. So, if you want to get better results and save time with your social media marketing, read on this blog post for 10 Pintastic Pinterest tools to help grow your business.

Pinterest tools for management, dashboards and automation

1.ย ย ย  IFTTT

10 Pintastic tools to grow your business

If this, then that aka IFTTT is a very cool time saving, productivity tool that helps you automate various aspect of your digital life: from tools to mute your phone when you get to work to automations for changing your phoneโ€™s wallpaper with the latest NASA photos, thereโ€™s a little something for everyone. Honestly, once you start browsing through all the different applets available, it can get a bit difficult to stop!

IFTTT also have automation features for all major social networks, including Pinterest. I would recommend exploring through all the different IFTTT Pinterest applets, as there is a plethora of them. For example, you can automatically send out a tweet or a Facebook post whenever you post a new Pin, or you could make it so all of your new Instagram uploads are automatically synced to one of your Pinterest boards.

Itโ€™s little features and automations like this that might not seem like much at first glance, but would actually save you quite a bit of time every day, especially if youโ€™re an avid social media user.
