    XP!N (xpin.org) is a new provider in the social media space. As Pinterest doesn’t allow adult photos, xpin.org will jump in and provide a similar service for Porn, XXX, fetishes and adult related things.

    Arts, Erotic events, and many many more. In case you haven’t checked it out yet, it is highly recommended that you do.

    Regardless of whether you like it or dislike it, the fact is that social media marketing is an essential part of the overall marketing mix today.

This means that the virtual pinboard is a highly effective platform for marketing your Adult business and/or website.
    Although currently the site does not offer any mechanism to enable users to purchase products directly, it has considerable marketing potential. Images that catch the fancy of users are likely to be repinned on a large number of boards, along with links to their original sources. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of this virtual pinboard.

The platform is ideal for businesses dealing with erotic products and -services such as, blogs, websites, communities or products like Movies, clips,sextoys, stocking, heels, Sexy Lingerie, and more.

    Keep things simple

    One of the key reasons behind Xpin’s popularity is its ease of use. All the users are allocated boards for pinning images that are of interest to them.

Another popular pinboard shows that social media marketing efforts have led to a 75% jump in their traffic for most of it.

    Invest some time

    Just as with other social platforms, to reap benefits from Xpin, you need to invest some time on it. Developing relationships with the movers and shakers on the platform can be very useful. You need to start out by identifying users who are not only relevant to you business and industry but are also influential and have a high number of repins and likes. Once you’ve identified this group, try to form a connection with them. When you create solid relationships with these big hitters, they are much more likely to promote your products and services through their repins. As Xpin is very new on the market, you can be one of those movers and shakers.

    Create custom product or audience-specific pinboards

    This is a great option for indirect marketing at Xpin. Based on your products or services, you can develop customized pinboards. For instance, a Sextoy store can create a pinboard featuring a particular look, complete with accessories, rather than republishing the company’s online catalog. Similarly, a fetish blog can create a pinboard featuring a community and more.

    Apart from customizing your pinboards based on your offerings, you can also customize them based on your audience. You can create different pinboards targeting different segments of potential customers and users.

    Follow popular figures

    This is a strategy that works on Twitter as well. When you follow the big hitters and they in turn follow you back, the message reaches a large number of users and many tend to follow the movers and shakers. For this you need to know who the big hitters are. This is the best way to generate awareness about your brand and expand your reach.

    Don’t be too self-serving

    Excessive self promotion is never good. Such a strategy can have a detrimental effect on your social media marketing efforts. Users are quick to classify a board that posts only product images as self-serving. While it is tempting to stick to the images of products you sell, it is not enough. For succeeding at Xpin, you need to offer more value to users. You need to establish yourself as a quality resource. Including a mix of tips, products, and services from other brands & websites and the latest tidbits along with your own products is recommended
