Educate, Motivate, and Inspire with Your Articles on Pinterest
Commonly described as one of the most addicting social networking
platforms, Pinterest is a web-based “pinboard” that’s a convenient way
to pin anything you find interesting or motivating to share with the
world.
You can use Pinterest to your advantage by pinning your articles to
increase your exposure. Pinning your EzineArticles.com published
articles helps you build a bridge of trust:
From Pinterest (point of entry) to EzineArticles.com (bridge of trust) to your blog or website (safe-landing).
As a Pinterest user, you can upload and link to anything you want to
share with others, repin everything that sparks you interest, comment on
or like other users’s pins, and easily organize your pins onto Boards.
The pins or images link to the original source, which in turn
increases the source’s exposure. Should another user become interested
in a pin, they will click-through to the source’s website for more
information. If they like what they see, they will repin it.

Adding “Abracadabra” to Your Article Writing Arsenal
You may not be a magician, but the
Tricks to Do X article template could be the perfect way to share the tricks of your trade with your readers.
This article template converts your specialized knowledge into a
scarce resource to share with your readers. Most trick-based articles
start with a task that is complicated, time consuming, and something
that may require a learning process. The
Tricks to Do X article template shares how to sidestep those complications and accomplish the task through tips and tricks.
There’s no magic necessary, but your unique expert advice and tips can seem like magic with this template. Here’s how:
- Pick a Trick – Identify a trick that saves time,
money, or effort on a complicated task. To pick the trick, think about
activities that require a high-level of effort. For example, this may
include varying degrees of a planning process to achieve a goal or
milestone.
- Announce the Trick – Use the introduction to name
the trick and give it a brief explanation. Sometimes you might come
across an activity that doesn’t have any tricks aside from being patient
over a long period of time. You can still write a “tricks” article on
these activities, but if you do, you’ll need to give very valuable tips.

Meet EzineArticles’ Expert Author Ken Solin in Today’s Showcase
For over 20 years, Expert Author and lecturer Ken Solin has advocated
growth and happiness by building relationships based on trust. How? Ken
instructs his audience to build trust by speaking without ego, without
judgment, and straight from the heart.
Through speaking engagements, blogs, articles, books, and more, Ken
specializes in advising men to move beyond the issues that limit their
lives and educating women to recognize men. His main objectives are to
teach men to become self-directed (not rely on extensive
training/counseling sessions) and to promote emotional dialogue between
men (and women).
“Going it alone in life is like trying to survive in a vacuum.” Ken
stated. “Men can do so much better for themselves, simply by getting
together on a regular basis and speaking to each other… Men don’t need
to be trained; they need to share the lessons each man has inside of
him. Eight, 35 year-old men have 280 years of collective life
experience. That’s a cornucopia of knowledge and it becomes the group’s
encyclopedia for becoming better men.”
