I recently started a pinterest page for my work at http://pinterest.com/fumcarlington/
I have some basic boards, but nothing that has really grown. I’d love any feedback on using pinterest specifically for a non-profit or church.

@comamy Hi Amy
Basically treat it like any other social network – get social, and share stuff that your target audience would want to see.
I have written a blog post on getting started with Pinterest as well for even more tips.
Hope that helps!
Russell

i have a real popular board about angels…. mostly   cement statues from old graves…. it has over 500 followers….
how about pinning from others in your field..what are they doing? is it   popular in your field?   .and try and pay attention to what works on other church or related boards….. ….  how about photos of the parts of your church…
when i started i put links    on my facebook quite a bit….. but for me it was a natural since its sweeping   thru   my customer base like wildfire…. i like what they like so it w as easy to fit in…

Seek out others and repin from those with common interests. You may want to create a group board you can manage by inviting others with common interests to post to a selected board – use it as a community board.

HubSpot also has an awesome ebook on Pinterest that you may be able to glean some techniques for your boards.
How about a “potluck” recipe board for church members? Invite members to add to it with their favorite recipes!

I have created a Pinterest tab on Facebook pages and hope to create referral traffic between both platforms. There is a free app from Woobox for this.

OK, I don’t get Pinterest, but after reading this post (w/helpful embedded video) I ALMOST get it.
It’s a nice walkthrough of best practices, how to find out what content of yours is being pinned, and how to build a following.
Not specific to churches, temples or mosques, but I’m sure you take can take the content and bend it to your own needs.

@russellallert Good article. I’ll use it as a reference point when I set up my pinterest account.

@russellallert You’re welcome. : )
I requested an invitation this morning, but don’t know how long it takes them to send out invitations.

Hey, Russ. I tried DMing you but got an error message saying we’re not friends. I thought we were?

@comamy Since I first started playing around on Pinterest, I started compiling a list of things to do/ideas. It’s a pretty long list though (about 49 items). I can email it to you or if you want to message me, I will copy and paste it. I don’t have a link, sorry.
