Educate, Motivate, and Inspire with Your Articles on PinterestCommonly 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.

Expert Author Showcase: Ken Solin
Meet EzineArticles’ Expert Author Ken Solin in Today’s ShowcaseFor 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).

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.”
