Invitation to Wizzley Welcomes Writers Pinterest Board?

Writing for Wizzley is turning out to be a very positive experience for me.  When I first started I dedicated a Pinterest board for all of my published articles.  I also took the opportunity to share articles written by other members of the community. 

As I have met and made friends here I would like to take advantage of the Pinterest Invite feature which allows you to extend invitations to others so they can also contribute to your board(s).  I would like to invite members of this community to become contributors.

One Wizzler (also my Facebook pal) has already accepted my invitation.

If you are on Pinterest, please tell me how to invite you.  Thanks!! 

What a great idea.

Thank you.  It wasn't my idea.  A friend suggested it.

Your 'friend' has posted 2 of her links already  Clarafiedwords on Pinterest.

OK EVERYBODY!!   THIS IS MY FRIEND!!!  She's brains behind the operation. 

I'm JoHarringtongb on Pinterest.  Nice call!

Sent you an invite.  Waiting for you to accept.  After that, the board is all yours!

Placed an invitation to become a contributor to the group board on my Wizzography.

I have Group Boards on Pinterest and I am more than happy to invite those who would like to share pins.

If you are on Pinterest, I either need your eMail address (linked to your Pinterest account) to send you an Invite -OR- sometimes, if I am following you and you are following me, I can pull up your name and you will be sent an Invite.

 

YOU ARE WELCOME!!!

 

cmoneyspinner, Thank you again for all that you do.

I also have a number of group boards, including this one, to which everyone is invited. It is designed for herbs, essential oils, homeopathy, natural remedies and alternative health. Some topics aren't included because the board leans in a Christian direction.

Anyway, if you want to join, let me know.

I'm on Pinterest!

Sent you an invite using an eMail address at your website.  FYI.

Has Pinterest increased your traffic?  I have about 70 boards but have not added my articles from here.  I am just getting started here.  And, do you pin each product, or just the intro image and article link?

Not sure about the increase on traffic as I never check my stats here. But I will say this. Pinterest is a really active site and ranks well with the search engines. It won't hurt to pin your Wizzles. Make sure you throw in a few relevant hashtags. Again … it won't work against you to add labels to help people find your stuff.

Not sure what happened to my reply which I sent this a.m.  Maybe I came out of the site too soon, before it had taken the message onboard.  Anyway, it was just to say that it hadn't increased my traffic that I can see but it has sent people to my board, not all of whom \i welcome.  I had some really awful images put on oee of my boards, near pornographic, and I had to remove these.  It has made me hesitant about opening my boards to anyone unless I know them well.

I'm not too sure what benefit it is to have others pictures on my boards.  Surely the idea is that these are either one's own images, or ones that have an appeal to me?  Maybe I've got it wrong.

Apologise for what looks like a very ungrammatical paragraph in last reply.  Can't see how to correct it now either, so sorry to anyone trying to decipher the meaning!

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience.  My experience with Pinterest Group Boards has been very positive.  UM?  You are in charge of who you invite to participate on your board.  Usually it's not people who are distasteful but rather folks you already have had a good online relationship with, like fellow Wizzlers.  What happened with you sounds strange.  I don't understand it at all. (???)

Nor do I.  A friend who also has some boards on Pinterest is convinced there's a gremlin in my computer.  I haven't had any more experiences like that though, so it may have been a one-off, like a hacker getting into the site.  It certainly wasn't anyone I'd invited as I haven't got round to doing that yet.

Thanks for your interest.
