"Pinterest" Social Media! Hotter Than Chili Peppers?

PINTEREST is the hottest thing site to hit Social Media in a very long time! It might be hotter than chili peppers. At over 21 million users and growing daily, it is generating huge interest with businesses and personal consumers alike.

Look at these statistics:

Pinterest had 12 million unique visitors in January 2012 with an average visit of over 16 minutes;
The average time on site has grown to 97 minutes! That is phenomenal.
As of March 5th, 2011 Pinterest was the 16th most popular website in the U.S. and 66th in the world, according to Alexa;
Hundreds of brands are on Pinterest including The Today Show, Lowes, The Gap, Whole Foods, Real Simple Magazine, GE and many more prominent brands!
Pinterest hit 10 million U.S. visitors in one month - faster growth than any social media site in history!

If you depend on web traffic for new leads, you'll want to attend this workshop. Pinterest is replacing LinkedIn as the 3rd largest social media site, and drives more traffic than LinkedIn and Google+ combined.
