Anybody using pinterest to promote?

Just signed up for pinterest, seems like it could be a great marketing tool. Anybody using pinterest to promote their business? I barely know how to use it but they have a HUGE community of users

I use Instagram, and besides what many think, it's gotten me quite a bit of business. Have no idea about Pinterest but tossing my 2 cents in.

I dislike Pintrest with a passion. I have no idea how or why but my account has gotten "hacked" at least 20 times in the year or so I've been on. One day I will log on only to find all my pins gone and some sort of pyramid scam photos in its place. I've changed my login and password many, many times to no avail. Even Pinterest cannot tell me whats going on.

With facebook making it harder and harder for businesses, I've started focusing my social media presence elsewhere. Instagram and Google+ have been great for me, and I'm starting to see a few other photographers use pinterest too. I just have no idea how to even market myself on pinterest, started reading some guides online but I'm still pretty lost. Facebook just sucks now, without paying to promote posts I'm only reaching a small percentage of my audience
