What does Repin mean?
Repin is a term used mainly on Pinterest, a social media platform where users can share and discover new interests by posting images or videos to their own boards. When someone comes across a pin (which is an image or video posted on Pinterest) that they like, they can “repin” it to their own board. This means they save that pin to their profile so they can easily find it later and share it with their followers.
Why would someone want to Repin?
Repinning is a great way for users to:
- Collect ideas: Users can gather images, recipes, DIY projects, and other inspirations in one place.
- Share with others: By repinning, users can show their friends what they like, which can inspire them too.
- Grow their boards: The more interesting pins they collect, the more appealing their profile becomes.
How does Repinning work?
Repinning is simple! Here’s how it generally works:
- Find a pin that catches your eye on someone else’s board.
- Click on the ‘Save’ or ‘Repin’ button.
- Select the board where you want to save the pin.
- The pin will now appear on your board, and your followers can see it too!
What are the benefits of using Repin on Pinterest?
Using the repin feature can be very advantageous:
- It helps you discover new content without having to create everything yourself.
- It builds community by sharing interests with others.
- It can drive traffic to your own pins if others see your repinned content and want to follow you.
