That's an interesting insight. So, you are saying that Pinterest generally has the same trends and ideas in fashion as Ali, Shein, etc, except for nature themes?

I love this analysis. It's by far the best explanation of Pinterest’s business model and approach I’ve seen.

Pinterest is a great place for you to get actionable users directed to your blog. You can also take advantage of Pinterest's demographics given the content of your blog.

Thanks Paolo, glad you like my content. You have a great substack going on as well. How's your experience pinning food recipes so far? I used to be active on Pinterest once upon a time when I used to travel quite a bit and blog, but since then I fell out f it, though going back to the platform, always gives me warm and fuzzy feelings.

Hi Sanuj - Thank you for letting me know.

I just checked some of their support pages for you and found that their Shopping features is currently limited to a handful of countries at the moment.

I'll be surprised if this is not available in India. They were testing features in 2021 and then did a global roll out of shopping solutions and API's in 2022.
