• When Pinterest starts making money the company
could be in trouble

3. Money Making
• Most people don’t mind having their work posted
in blogs, for school projects, and even Pinterest
• When money is being made, that’s when the
problem starts.
• Companies can ask Pinterest to “pay-up” or take
their content down immediately.

4. The Missing Audience
• Geared mainly towards women
• Women make up almost all users of Pinterest.
• Hard to compete with Facebook and Twitter

5. Scammers & Spammers
• Pinterest is by far the easiest social network to spam
right now
• The Pinterest scams draw your attention with freebie
offers or enticing photos, which makes them hard to
spot.
• Clicking on them automatically redirects you to a site
where you enter personal details into legit-looking
surveys.
• Scammers will use your stolen information for
misinterpreting their alias.
