How Pinterest Notifications Work (+ How to Interact on Pinterest)
2 mins read
I have already did detailed tutorials of making the most of Google Plus notifications as well as managing your Twitter notifications with Tweetdeck.
Today I’ll follow up on the topic describing Pinterest notifications but first let’s sum up all the three for your convenience:
| Google Plus | |||
| Notifies of… | When you are added to circles, when you are tagged, when you have new comments on your submissions | New retweets, favorites, follows, new replies | New boards by your friends, new re-pins and likes, new follows, when your FB friends join Pinterest |
| Delivers notifications to email | Yes (All) | Not all of them | Yes (All) |
| Best tool to manage | On-site (or extension for Chrome) | Tweetdeck | On-site |
Now, let’s see when Pinterest notifies you of what (there’s not as much to talk about as with Twitter and Google Plus):
1. When your Facebook friends join Pinterest
Bottom line: This is yet another reason to connect your Facebook account on Pinterest: Utilize your existing Facebook connections!
2. When any of your existing connections create a new board
Bottom line: If you create a new board, your existing connections will be notified of it (Good way to keep in touch on Pinterest!)
3. When anyone likes or re-pins your pin
Bottom line: Pinning and liking other people’s pins is a great way to gain grateful followers: Utilize Pinterest search!
4. When anyone started following any of your boards
Bottom line: If you follow people on Pinterest, you’ll get followed back. Common sense social media relationship building rule, thanks 🙂
