Expectations for Pinterest are usually high, especially for those who are just starting out.

Rather than get discouraged because it isn't as easy as you thought it would be or results aren't what you thought either, here are 6 things to focus on during your first 6 months on Pinterest instead.

Places to track changes on Pinterest

• The Pinterest for Business Website - The main website for business tips and best practices straight from Pinterest itself
• The Pinterest for Business newsletter - Pinterest will sometimes send out notices about different changes
• Tailwind blog - Even if you don't use Tailwind, their direct access to Pinterest makes them a valuable source of information
• Simple Pin Media Podcast & Website - Simple Pin Media is a Podcast and website all about Pinterest marketing. There's tons of great information here for all different kinds of businesses and websites
• Simple Pin Media Newsletter - Kate Ahl sends out lots of tips and news for Pinterest every week
• Simple Pin Media Facebook group - There's always a lot of discussion in this Facebook group, but like all public forums, you have to be careful to not get caught up in sensationalism and rumors. I usually hear about something in here first then do more research or wait for something from the admins or Tailwind. Also, there's some Tailwind staff in this group, so that's a bonus as well.
• A Pinterest course - The best Pinterest courses include free updates and usually have a group for students
