Find Your Friends on Pinterest

To get started using Pinterest, I have found that finding your friends is a good way to start. I love seeing what my friends pin, and most likely they like some of the same things that I do. After I found some of my friends on Pinterest I discovered common interests we had that I didn't even realize.

Here are a few easy steps to follow to being your friend search.

1. Login to your Pinterest account.
2. In the upper right hand corner of Pinterest you should see your account name with a drop down arrow. Hover your mouse over this panel to display the options, and then click Find Friends.
3. You can decide how you want to find your friends. One of the easiest ways to quickly locate friends is to use Facebook as long as you have a Facebook account, but you can also use email, Gmail, or Yahoo. If you have a Facebook account, click the Find Friends from Facebook button.
4. Pinterest is wonderful at displaying a list of your friends that have current Pinterest accounts as well as those friends that do not. If you see a friend that you want to follow on Pinterest, click the Follow button. If you see a friend that is not currently on Pinterest, you can click the Invite button to send them a Pinterest invitation.
5. Want to follow all your friends, simply click the Follow All button. Just like that you are now following all of your friends on Pinterest.

Remember that after you find a friend with similar interests you can start "Following" the friend.

Tip:  If you start following a friend that does not seem to have similar interests to yourself, you can "Unfollow" the friend.
