Users can create collections of visual bookmarks, called "pins," which are organized into themed boards. The platform primarily generates revenue through advertising, offering promoted pins that appear in users' feeds and search results, targeted based on user interests and behaviors. Additionally, Pinterest earns income through affiliate marketing by driving traffic to retailers' websites. What sets Pinterest apart from its competitors is its unique visual discovery engine, which helps advertisers connect with consumers actively seeking inspiration. The goal of Pinterest is to connect users with ideas and products that inspire them.
