In this article I?ll explain how to find and use Pinterest interests to improve visibility and engagement.

Why Explore Interests?

One drawback for many businesses on Pinterest is that there are only 32 specific and 6 broad categories available to search for pins.

Businesses whose products or services don?t neatly fit into one of these categories have to do additional searching on Pinterest to find relevant pins to share with their followers and new boards to follow.

The answer is to follow interests, and the pins come to you.

Interests are collections of pins about a specific niche topic from a bunch of people who aren?t necessarily following each other. Interests can be followed just like boards and accounts, and once you follow an interest, you begin to see pins related to that specific topic in your own feed.

#1: Find and Follow Interests

The option to Explore interests used to be included in the menu by the search bar, but is now gone. Here?s how you can locate interests today.

To do that, go to any Pinterest account. Under their profile information (toward the right), locate and click the Following number.
