Starting a business on Pinterest is about to get even easier for creators, as the image-sharing platform and social network gives them the ability to make their Pin ideas shoppable, earn commissions through affiliates and partnering with brands on sponsored content. First introduced last year, Idea Pins can each have up to 10 topic tags that allow creators to specifically distribute their content to Pinterest users through the service's home feed and search. Now, with the addition of Idea Pin product tagging, creators can tag their Idea Pins with any of the millions of product Pins on the platform. Over the years, Pinterest has grown into a huge catalog with hundreds of millions of product Pins uploaded by retailers. At the same time, many products are uploaded to the platform thanks to the company's partnership with Shopify. Based on its own research, Pinterest has found that users are more likely to consider buying products tagged on idea pins rather than standalone product pins. That's why the company decided to give creators the opportunity to leverage their catalog by tagging specific products on their idea pins.
