If you're looking for more traffic,
leads, and sales, then today's podcast
is for you. We are going to be talking
about Pinterest and how I have been
personally using Pinterest to really up
the game for all three of those that I
mentioned. And I actually hired an
expert to help me do that. And I have
her on the show with us today. Jimmy
Lang is a scientist turned Pinterest
strategist who helps women own
businesses build their audience, grow
their email list, and boost their sales
through Pinterest marketing. We talk
about Pinterest for TBT tiers, for
digital product creators, the
step-by-step process you need to take to
ensure that your Pinterest pins are
being seen and they create conversions
for you. You don't want to miss this.
Let's get started. I am here today with
my brand new Pinterest manager, Jenny,
and she has been helping me with my
seriously struggling Pinterest account
that I kind of ghosted for a few years.
So, I'm really excited to have her on
today and talk about how Pinterest can
be a great addition to your business.
So, welcome, Jenny. Thanks for being
here. Hi, Lindsay. Thank you so much for
having me. Yeah, I'm Jenny. I've been
doing Pinterest marketing for the last
three years. So, I'm a strategist and a
manager. Love it. Yeah. And she had lots
of ideas for me from the very beginning,
even with my website and and things that
I didn't even think about. And yeah,
she's been a great addition to the team.
So, I'm excited to get into all the
things that we've been working on. But
before we get into that, let's just kind
of, you know, talk high level. Most
people know what Pinterest is these
days, but can you talk a little bit
about what it is? Is it still working
for business owners? Should a business
owner have Pinterest? How can I help? So
Pinterest is different from other social
platforms because it is a search engine.
So it's going to be a lot different than
Instagram and Tik Tok and Facebook. So
you have to um handle that differently.
I kind of like to put SEO and YouTube
and Pinterest all in a similar one. So
you are perfect for that because you've
been focusing on YouTube as well. But
yeah, you want to focus on your keywords
and so those can really tie in with your
Google SEO. So that's what makes it
really helpful to focus on those two
things. But it's important to kind of
diversify your marketing. So it's not
that Facebook and Instagram and Tik Tok
aren't worth putting your time into.
They both are. Pinterest can give you a
new broader audience that you may not
normally get on some of the other social
platforms. So, it's really good for
brand awareness whenever you're wanting
to be discovered more often. It can help
with your email list. It helps if you
sell products, digital products,
physical products. Uh, it really depends
how much content you have on whether
Pinterest will really work for you. It's
not just specific niches or not. Oh,
okay. So, yeah, I think that's a good
point because a lot of people in the
beginning of their business, they're
like, "Okay, I need to market market
market and I need to start an Instagram
and a YouTube and then I need to do
Pinterest." And it's like, "Okay, whoa,
whoa, whoa." Right. Can't do all of that
at one time. So, I think that's a good
point that you made that you need
content to pin, not just paid products,
right? Yes. Well, you it depends on the
type of business you have. So, some are
really focused on products. They have a
whole lot of products. That's really
helpful. But adding in a layer of a blog
or a podcast or anything that we can
also layer in so people get to know more
about your business, you know, that's
always so helpful. even like affiliate
marketing and things like that, you can
just the blog helps. The blog is helpful
for Pinterest, but it's also really
helpful for SEO for Google. So, they tie
in together, but in your case, a podcast
would work. Anything that's just going
to give a your audience more
information, you know. Okay, I like
that. Yeah. So, if someone was selling
like physical products, which we really
don't talk about on this podcast, but
they could just pin all of their
physical products, but then someone and
we're going to get into TPT. someone has
a big TPT store, they have tons of
products and they can link to those and
maybe they have freebies as well that
they can link to, it would work for them
as well. Yes, absolutely love that.
Okay, so it can it's really for a lot of
different types of business owners and I
feel like it would be good for most
people listening to this podcast unless
you're very very brand new and you don't
have anything to sell yet, then make
something to sell first. Yes. Um, okay.
So, you recently started helping me with
my struggling Pinterest account. I did
Pinterest in the beginning of my
business and was pinning penny pinning
back when we were supposed to do like 30
pins a day and it was just a lot and
overwhelming and so I kind of ghosted it
for a while cuz I wasn't really seeing a
return on my time investment. And then
this year I made a big transition and
push towards organic marketing. And so I
started my YouTube channel. We've been
really focusing on the podcast. I've
gotten back into Instagram. And so I
thought, okay, Pinterest is also a form
of organic marketing. I think I need to
revisit this, but I know I need an
expert. And so I reached out to you and
we had a Zoom meeting and you really
kind of walked me through what we could
do to improve my strategy, kind of
almost start over from scratch. So can
you talk about like what we did for my
account? So yours was easy to kind of
transition because you had been doing so
much of the TPT. Like TPT is still
section for your business. So we're not
changing the whole account, right? So,
if you do like a totally if you're like,
"No, I'm gonna sell wall art." Um, then
no, we would I would honestly start a
new account for you because it would be
so different. But because it just
beautifully kind of transitioned into
you teaching people how to do TPT and
digital products and courses that we're
just slowly teaching Pinterest, okay,
this account is still the same audience,
but maybe even a bigger audience, right?
So, we started showing and changing up
the keywords and SEO that we were using
for your account. So, it's not just
teachers. Your teacher resources and
your teacher content still dominates for
your account right now because that's
what Pinterest is like. Oh, no. This is
a TPT woman. You know, she loves
teaching and resources. So, but we are
branching into other, you know, women
and moms who are looking for alternative
incomes and jobs and, you know, that's
honestly becoming more important than
ever now. And so, we're trying to
broaden your audience and get people
that don't even know that what you're
doing solves their problem. And so
that's where a Pinterest is so beautiful
is I find that Instagram even for like
as a user, it shows me what I already
know I want. Okay? Right? So I see I'm
doing home like I'm redoing my house. I
bought a house last year. I get a lot of
things that I already know I'm looking
for. But for Pinterest, you can really
be shown to people that don't even know
they need you, right? Like the way that
they're searching for a solution is so
different. But we layer your content so
that we are addressing all your content
pillars. So we're doing your TPT, your
digital products, and your course. So
those are kind of different buckets, and
we want to diversify how we send your
traffic. That makes Okay. So from the
very beginning, we had to do some
updates to my like overall bio or your
profile. Yeah, your account profile.
Yeah, profile. Okay. So what did we do?
Remind me. I know we changed like my
name. Yes. So a more keyword rich name
for your profile, your bio. That way it
addresses it's not spo so focused on TPT
but just more about passive income. So
again we're getting a different
audience. Updated board names, updated
board descriptions. Uh and then just
overall revamping all the keywords we
use for all your pin titles, your pin
text overlay, your pin descriptions,
just all of that really changes and it
just takes the algorithm a little bit of
time to adjust to that. Okay. So, if
someone maybe already has a Pinterest
account or they're starting one from
scratch, they want to make sure when
they sign up and they have to put like
their name and their bio that they're
using a keywordrich name and bio related
to their niche. And is there any like
tools or strategies for finding those
keywords? How can they find Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. So much. Um, of course. Uh so
the easiest and simplest way is just to
go into Pinterest, open up the search
window and start typing in things you
know, right? So you could start with
teacher resources and just type in
teaching teacher resources. See what
populates in the same as Google, you
know that you're going to see what
self-populates. That's one way. Then
when you actually search them, there'll
be all these little bubbles at the top
that give you more information at the
top of Pinterest. So that's a second
way. Then there'll actually be suggested
searches throughout Pinterest. So
there'll be pens and then there'll be
little images and it'll have se like
suggested search items um related to
that as well as your top performing pen.
So you looking for digital courses,
course creation, digital products, you
could search those and then see what
those pens look like, what they're
saying that these are top ranking. So
what type of text overlay are they
using? What pin titles? What pin
descriptions? And then there's the
several other um a couple of backend
ways as well that we can go into the ad
campaign manager and we actually go into
backend and I can actually see the
monthly search volume for different
keywords and like outside websites or do
you think especially like if someone
isn't wanting to pay for something
extra, they can find all the keywords
they need right inside of Pinterest
using the methods you just talked about.
Yes, you absolutely there's definitely
paid options you can use. There's Pin
Inspector. all types of apps that you
can use to really dive in deep, but I
don't want to overwhelm your audience of
all the tools that it's because it is it
can be really overwhelming. Um,
Pinterest is the best for data and
that's what I've loved about it is there
is just it's I haven't seen another
platform with the robust data that
Pinterest has. So, you wouldn't want to
overwhelm them with that. I would start
with just doing those few searches and
then trying to see what people are
looking for to make sure you're using
the same terms that your audience is
using. Okay. So, so you we we found
keywords and you did the keyword
research for me and then you are making
a variety of graphics that go to a
variety of content pieces. Let's talk
about this for a second. We're not
linking directly to the YouTube video. I
put my YouTube videos on my website as a
blog post and so we link to that. And
why do we do that? Because that is your
claim domain. you own your website and
so you in the back end of Pinterest,
they talk to each other. So there's a
tag on Pinterest and there's a tag on
your website and they talk to each other
and because that is your claim domain,
it is going to rank higher because it
knows it's you and it's going to send
traffic there. It's going to do better
for outbound clicks. So you are doing
perfectly by putting it on your website.
Okay, everyone doesn't have the the
manpower to do that and understand how
all that works. That's okay. We can send
traffic to YouTube to other things. We
can. It's not the, you know, the gold
standard, but absolutely I have sent
multiple clients straight to YouTube.
Okay. And same thing with my podcast.
So, I put my podcast on my website as a
blog post. Um, and and that's also
another just layer of repurposing my
content just to kind of like take a
pause, but I'm on WordPress and I use
the Yoast SEO plugin. And so I make sure
that when I upload my YouTube videos and
I upload my podcast as a blog post on my
website that it's SEO optimized. So if
someone were to search for five passive
income options for teachers. I have a
YouTube video on that it would pop up on
my website but also on YouTube. So it's
like kind of two ways to get more
traffic. Yes. Yes. Beautiful. It's
perfect. That's if if you can do that or
maybe hire a VA to do that. That would
be a good way to repurpose content. Tell
me about claiming your domain on
Pinterest. Pinterest has a really
clearly laid out directions of exactly
what to do. And I send my clients all
the instructions just so they can be the
ones to like log into the back end of
their website and install the Pinterest
tag. But it's super simple and
straightforward. And once you've done it
once, you're done. That's it. Perfect.
So if you don't have that done and you
have a Pinterest account, you want to
make sure that you claim your domain if
you have one. Yes. And and for TPTers
that don't have like a website, we're
getting to you. So keep listening. Don't
worry. we're not forgetting about you.
So, okay, we were talking about we were
pinning multiple different graphics for
multiple different things including
blog, podcast, YouTube, but then also to
some of my lead magnets, my freebies
products, some TV products sprinkled in
and just kind of creating a mix of those
is the best way to pin. Correct. Yes.
Yes. Diversifying what you're pinning.
You don't want to pin the same thing
over and over and over again. Used to be
the method, right? It used to be the
method. Yeah. Yeah. Things look a lot
differently. Yeah. So, that's where the
diversifying of what you have. You know,
we're going to pin your freebie, but
you're also going to pin your blog that
also you embed your freebie into your
blog, right? So, you have to at the end
you can have that down there as like
your your lead magnet at the bottom. You
have your products embedded. You have
your YouTube channel embedded. Learn
more here. You know, that's where the
blog is so important. People sometimes
forget. They think, "Oh, blogs are, you
know, a thing of the past." They're
they're really not. I mean, some of the
biggest clients I've had still utilize a
blog or in your case, you know, the show
notes from a podcast to get that extra
traffic and to really expand all your
options. Yeah, for sure. I mean, we we
have a popup on uh our blog that does I
mean, I get probably 200 to 300 leads
every week and I don't do anything to
get those. It just pops up on my website
and people sign up. So, um Exactly.
Because you're giving valuable
information, Lindsay. They're getting it
already and they're like, "Oh, yeah. I
know I want to learn more because of
your podcast or your YouTube channel.
They're learning something and then it's
just right there. Why wouldn't they, you
know, nurture educational content? Yes.
Yes. I love that. Okay. So, we talked
about the old way of pinning like the
same pen five different times is out.
So, how often should people be pinning
then? So, I like to keep a 14 day is
what I do to be extra safe as far as the
same pen. So, okay, try not to get too
complicated on this. You can pin the
same pen more than once. You just want
to space it out. So, let's take your
one. Let's take one podcast, right? So,
I could decide that I'm going to pick
anywhere from three to five pens for
this one podcast. They're all going to
look different but lead to the same
podcast. Okay? And then I'm going to
space out pinning them. And then we
still recommend I still use Tailwind.
And so Tailwind will then after I've
pinned it natively in Pinterest, then I
will schedule repins in Tailwind for
let's say four boards, four or five
boards. So if you've just done a podcast
about digital products, we're going to
pin it initially to the board that I
think is most relevant. So how to make a
digital product. All right, that's a
board we have. So that podcast would be
pinned there. And then in two more
weeks, it would then be pinned to the
next board that's relevant for you. So
passive income for moms, remote work,
things that make sense for what you're
pinning. It needs to be relevant. So
depending on how many relevant boards
you have and how diverse your content
is, depends on how many times you repin
it. Right. Right. So that's where it
depends on per business, how many times
you do it. So there's not a set this is
what you do, this is how many pins, and
this is how many boards. It really
depends on how much content you have and
how many relevant boards you have for
it. So, okay, let's say I have a podcast
that I want to pin. So, you make like
three to five different graphics. And by
the way, um we make those in Canva. Um
super easy to do that. And I think they
have pin template in Canva that you can
use. So, one graphic you could pin
multiple times or you just Yes. Okay.
Yes. Yes. Just not in the like in the
same day, right? So, I would space it
out. So, let's say we have the one
podcast I've created. Let's say five
pens. One podcast, five pens. And then
you're gonna pin each one to one board.
And then you can reschedu that pin in
Tailwind up to a certain amount of time.
So let's say you repin it three more
boards, but you space that out by two
weeks. You've now got that pin going out
over almost, you know, three months.
Okay. So for instance, like your
Tailwind schedule is out through summer.
Oh wow. Okay. And it will continue to
grow because of us working together for
several months now. Everything I've been
doing for three months is continuing to
work with us for months past this. So
you see so much longevity out of your
content. Not to mention just the
longevity as far as the lifespan for
Pinterest. So you have some of your top
ranking stuff is from years ago still.
It's still we're boosting your account
because of all the new pins, but some of
your old blogs are still bringing in
website traffic for you. Think about
what it'll do for years from what we're
doing now. Yes. And other thing like
Pinterest is a long game. So don't
expect to see like overnight results. It
takes a while for a pen. I remember when
I was doing it manually for a pen to
really um take off. So you have to be
consistent over time with Pinterest
versus like Instagram, you have to pin
some or you have to create something new
every day and then it's gone in 48
hours, you know. Yes. Yes. That's so
important. And understanding that before
you start on Pinterest because people
wanting a turnaround within a month or
two, it's just not possible. It's really
not. But you it's worth the time to put
in. I mean, people now, I mean, I have
clients that aren't getting anything
from Instagram. You know, things change.
And so, just putting in the consistent
time and things like Pinterest and
YouTube or a podcast. I mean, you've
been doing those things. So, you know
what to expect out of content. You know,
your podcast didn't have this many
subscribers after a month, right? You
know, like it takes time to build these
audiences, right? And just one other
thing that made me curious as you were
talking about so you pin in Pinterest
the first time and then you repin and
tailwind is that like I do. Yeah. So
that's my best my best practices
strategy. People teach this differently.
Some people completely do everything in
Tailwind which is okay. I have been
taught differently through my trainings
to do it directly in Pinterest. So it
does take me more time. So, if you're
your own business owner and want to do
it yourself, you can save a little bit
of time and put everything into Tailwind
immediately and then just schedule it
all out. But, I have been taught that it
might be a little better. They might
perform a little better if you do it
natively on Pinterest. And so, I take
the time for that for my clients to do
it in Pinterest first and then take more
time to then reschedu them all out
further in Tailwind. It's very
interesting. I never heard of that. So,
I'm glad that you're doing that. Yeah.
For people that don't know, Tailwind is
a paid Pinterest scheduler and you can
like schedule it out. They have more
analytics, right? I haven't looked at
Tailwind in so long. Yeah, they do have
their own analytics and you can use it
for multiple platforms. Like yours is
still linked to like an Instagram
account that you can use too, you know.
Yeah, I think it's like I think it was
like $12 to $15 a month. No, it's not
much. Not for the scheme of what it
does. There's a lot of other schedulers
out there and I've not found any to be
as robust as Tailwind and it's an
approved That's important too. It is an
approved program with Pinterest. Right.
That is important. Yeah, that is very
important. If I remember correctly,
they'll give you kind of like little
warnings if maybe you're painting too
much or like too uh close together. Yes.
Yes. Exactly. Yes. So, I just keep it
safe with the 14-day. There's no problem
at all with that. And it's if you have
little content, you might consider maybe
seven days and you I think you'd still
be safe, but you have so much content,
Lindsay, that it's there's no reason to
do that. So, we just I schedule it out
every two weeks and then know we're
keeping your account in the green. What
data did we look at and what kind of
results are we aiming for as we improve
and kind of revamp my Pinterest account?
Okay, so people get, you know, the big
uh metric is impressions, right? That's
the same as like your views on on your
reels on Instagram. Impressions matter
because that is how many people are
seeing your content, but we want them to
act. So the engagement, the pin clicks,
saves, outbound clicks, these are all
really important, too. Impressions are
just the it's like a funnel really if
you think about it, right? So just you
want to get people seeing it, right? Get
like getting people on your email list.
You want people to see your content and
know that it's searchable, that you are
putting the right keywords to find so
that the people looking for your content
can find it. So that's why impressions
matter, but it is somewhat of a vanity
metric. Okay. So the next one would be
that we want saves. We want saves that
your your content is important, right?
So, they're going to come back to it and
that sends a signal back to Pinterest
that, oh, this is important. People are
saving this and it actually gets shown
more because it's saved more. Okay. So,
we've kind of seen that change on
Instagram, right? Whether it was um when
people would comment or I think the
newest one is when people are sending
stuff on Instagram, I think is part of
it, right? Yes, that's the best one on
Instagram now. The Right. So, for us,
it's saves. Saves are really important
because that's the whole point of
Pinterest, right? You're pinning things
to boards. So, that one's important that
people want to save your content.
Obviously, to most clients, outbound
clicks are huge. Outbound clicks are
meaning people are clicking this pin and
going to your website or whatever
destination you're sending them to. But
what's important is that this content
matches what you're pinning, right? So,
we don't want to pin something that's
claiming to do this and then it falls
flat. That ends up being a high bounce
rate, which obviously is not good for
your, you know, your website traffic and
then as well as Pinterest. So if you are
clicking on from a pin to a website and
then you click out of that very quickly
that sends a signal back to Pinterest
that oh wait no this isn't a good user
experience and that can push you down.
So just to keep people doing you know
not icky practices right does Pinterest
tell you like this pin has a high bounce
rate or is there any way that No, you
can kind of do that. That's why I like
to play around sometimes in looking in
uh if there's an issue at all and
playing around in a client's Google
Analytics and kind of seeing what
because that's where you can see your
bounce rates, right? And knowing of, oh,
I'm seeing a high bounce rate on this.
So, that makes sense why we're seeing
this on Pinterest, right? So you can
kind of correlate data together can be
really helpful, especially if there's a
problem. Or maybe I had a client one
time that did a lot of affiliate links
and she was getting a lot of sales from
a product, but she's like, "We haven't
advertised this product in three
months." And I was like, "Let me go
look." And so I go look on Pinterest and
I go check all of our outbound clicks.
And lo and behold, this product we had
pinned in September had all this
outbound clicks. So you can kind of
compare data from different platforms
and put it all together. It's kind of a
puzzle piece, you know, of layering it
all together to see what's working and
what's not or where traffic's coming
from, especially for things like
affiliate links. But yes, so the
metrics, so saves important um outbound
clicks are super helpful and just
engagement in general that people are
interested, they're clicking, they want
to see what you're what you're doing. Uh
impressions just to get seen and broaden
that audience so that people start
seeing, you know, start seeing, oh,
what's this Lindsy girl about? you know,
I keep seeing her name and then
eventually you click it and you know,
you warm up that audience. Yeah. Brand
awareness. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Love that.
Okay. So, that's what we've been doing
with my Pinterest. So, let's talk about
someone that just has a TPT store and
they're wanting to use Pinterest to get
more sales. Okay. What would you do like
from scratch for them? I would recommend
them get a blog ASAP. That would be my
recommendation just because that's gonna
we're gonna want you to have your own
website when possible. We absolutely can
send traffic. There are, you know, TPT
sellers that do fantastic on Pinterest.
And then as far, it's kind of similar
Etsy, too, where you can't claim it
necessarily, but you could still send
traffic to it. So, it just depends on
how good your content is really when it
comes down to that. Um, but a blog is
just so helpful. And then you can layer
in your your products into the blog or a
podcast, anything like that where you
can layer it in. But owning your own
domain on your own website is always
going to be what I recommend. But we can
work our way up to that. So even
starting an account to start doing
videos. You can even do videos to
explain it, show how you're doing it.
You could repurpose to Instagram or
maybe you are on Instagram. Maybe the
seller is on Instagram and trying to
teach people about, you know, uh their
their products and making videos about
them or some type of content and then we
can repurpose that to Pinterest just to
start building your audience. You can do
things in between. It doesn't have to be
all or none, you know? Right. Now, we
did claim my Instagram account, I
believe. Yes. Would that is that kind of
like a claimed domain? Like if you if
you pin a real, how does that do as far
as like the claim domain and getting
pushed up in search? Because we claimed
it. So it is okay to claim your socials
and do that type of thing. Okay. I don't
like linking. We've seen problems where
it's icky. Unfortunately, I haven't
worked everything out to where if you
post to Instagram to automatically post
to Pinterest. Carousels and things where
it's like, you know, multiple images on
Instagram have gone out as multiple pins
that are separate. Ah, okay. And so that
is not, you know, you're missing the
message, right? There's like one here,
one here, one there. What is this?
That's not helpful. So that's where we
just realized that that has helped boost
your audience. And so anything that
people are pinning, so let's say you are
posting on Instagram and other people
are pinning your your your Instagram
reels on Pinterest, they'll be
attributed to your account because you
claimed it. It's yours. It's another
thing that you can say is mine. How do
people pin a Instagram reel? Yeah, you
can. Well, you because there's uh free
downloaders, right? So, you can like I
could download any of your reels right
now and post them on Pinterest.
Okay. Or anywhere, you know, because
there's free downloaders, which I do
think that you can turn that off. Like
you can turn off if if you don't want
people to download your real, but I mean
I guess there's like it could be pros
and cons to that. Like you don't want
people stealing your stuff in like it
being theirs. But anyway, well, if it's
informative, right? So, like I've seen
like a health client. She's posted stuff
and people save it as like their
information to know, right? Because
people use Pinterest. They're not just
promoting other things. Like as a user,
you use it like, "Oh, I want to know
what Lindsay's doing, but I use
Pinterest on Instagram, so I'm going to
save it over here, you know?" Okay, that
makes sense. Okay. So if you're a TPT,
you can pin directly from Teachers Pay
by Teachers, but also get a blog or it
could be podcast or YouTube as well if
you're, you know, but I do think having
a a website, which a blog would be on,
is really important for any business
owner. It's it's your home base. So,
okay. Now, if someone is not doing TPT,
but maybe they're a teacher and they
have digital products, that would be
more like the strategy that you're using
for me, right? Where we're doing lead
magnets and content. Um, and that kind
of person, you definitely need some type
of of ongoing long form content, a blog,
YouTube, podcast. So, would they be
doing kind of the same thing that you're
doing for my Pinterest account? Yes. And
you can also actually like link your
products to Pinterest. So, you can do a
catalog with Pinterest and that's a
little more complicated, but that's
definitely an option. And then that way
it links all of your metrics and you can
actually see conversions with that. So,
like I had a jewelry client that sold
their own jewelry online, right? But
digital products could be the same
thing. If you're housing, like a Shopify
store on your website, right, that
you're selling things from directly, you
can then make a catalog for that on
Pinterest, upload everything, and
connect the two. So then you're actually
able to see a lot. Like I could see the
sales literally that were coming from
Pinterest with this jewelry client. It
was beautiful. Okay. And is it only like
Shopify or certain
platforms commerce, right? It's
different types of commer um it depends
on the platform. So we can go in that's
a little more complicated to go into
with Pinterest, but Pinterest lays out
everything that they work with and how
to install these things and you have to
become a verified merchant, things like
that. So it is a process to go through.
But if someone had substantial digital
products that they're selling on their
website, it could definitely be helpful
for that. Yeah. And I'm even thinking
like a TPTer if they eventually put
their TPT products on their own website.
I have mine on my own website with Woo
Commerce. Don't get a lot of sales. I
don't do any marketing for it, but if I
could like link that with Pinterest,
that might Oh, we can definitely talk
about that. Yeah, boost that. Okay. I
didn't know that was possible. That's
really cool. Yeah. Okay. Um I love that.
Okay. So, we've covered TBT. We've
covered digital product sales. So, is
there anything else before we wrap up? I
feel like we've given everyone a really
practical step-by-step way to to start
Pinterest. I love this. Is there
anything else you can think of? Um, so
for Pinterest just being different, it's
just a really people talk about it being
a positive platform and that's what
people go times can be Instagram and our
all our socials can be kind of stressful
sometimes and Pinterest has been such a
positive outlet for people and that
people go there with a purpose.
Pinterest is for purpose and planning
and positivity, all the P's. Love it.
Um, so we, you know, we have people that
you go there to plan your life and
whether that's a career change or a
vacation or a birthday party. You know,
I know you do lots of recipes. People
think about it for like recipes and like
weddings, right? But it's so much more
than that. And I don't think people
really realize that because it's
especially for like millennials like us
who started out in Pinterest in the old
day, you know? Um, we planned all our
stuff. It was just like um an
inspiration board. Still is. And but I
use it for planning. um you know I plan
my trip I use it as a pinner as well and
it's easy to put all it's the only
platform I found that lets you put
everything
um from various ones. So maybe I'm
interested in doing home design and I
can pin from uh Amazon and anthropology
and all of them in one place. I'm an
organized person. So, I really enjoy
being able to put everything in one
place. And for a content creator, what
I've talked to other clients about is
you need it to be searchable, you know?
So, let's say like I have a Disney
Planner client and you can't find what
I'm looking for. I wanted to know, you
know, what where one of her videos was
for Halloween. Well, it's it's spring.
How can I find it? I'm not going to dig
and scroll through your page to get all
the way to Halloween, right? And so some
of the other platforms just don't offer
this searchable and organized manner
that Pinterest does. And you may lose
the client, you may lose that audience,
that customer because they can't find
what they're looking for. And that's
where Pinterest can be so different. I
can go straight and search exactly it.
And when you've used the right keywords,
that's what comes up immediately. People
find the content that they need and they
want and they're actually acting on it
on Pinterest. They're going there with a
purpose. They're not doom scrolling. So,
right, you know, and for people like
you, like you want to catch those
passive people who don't know they need
you yet, but you've got a lot of people
there who they they're looking for a
solution and you're now there. They're
you're there to for them to find that
you're the solution to their problem. As
well as the fact that some of these
other platforms, you know, it's
paytoplay and Pinterest has paid ads, of
course, too, but 97% of their searches
are unbranded. So, that means that it
doesn't matter. you know, you're you've
got a new you're selling products,
clothing line, right? You're target or
you're you've got five products. If you
have the right keywords, you're playing
with target, too. You know, it's an even
playing field outside of paid ads.
Obviously, that's a little bit different
that layers in, but it just gives you a
bigger playground, a bigger audience to
let everybody find you and your content
and expand in a larger way than what
some of the other platforms have been
looking like in the last year. That's
interesting. Yeah, because like on
Google the sponsored posts are at the
top. So if you're not paying for a
sponsored post, then you're going to be
down in search. But you're saying with
Pinterest, as long as you have the right
keywords, then you're going to be at the
top. So you're getting in front of
eyeballs that normally you wouldn't get
in front of. So yes. Well, there will be
paid ads. I mean that we've we've
complained about that in the last year
of seeing, you know, sponsored ads,
right? I mean, they're going to be up
there just like other platforms, but you
have a you have a better chance with
using the right keywords and consistency
that they have been rewarding their
users for years as far as being found,
you know? Yeah. And I I just feel like
visually too, especially if like you're
on a desktop or even on your phone, like
you see a lot at one time and then
you're really just drawn into the pen,
not necessarily like what's at the top.
It's it's the pen that then draws you
in. So, that's another, you know, make
sure that your pins are eye-catching and
they stop the scroll because that's how
you get the clicks. You get the
impressions from the keywords, you get
the clicks from the pen and then you get
the conversion as long as the content
matches the pen, right? Yes. You got it,
Lindsay. And that's also where I've been
trying to build your brand so much of
like with your colors and your fonts and
your face of just like, oh, every time
I'm searching this, there's this Lindsay
again. You know, I'm really interested
in her. and just building that that they
they know that you're an authority on
this subject, you know. So, it's making
their pins, they should use like brand
colors to build that brand awareness.
They should use their face if they're
comfortable with that. I recommend a
mix. So, for your account, I do both.
So, I have a lot of really branded I'd
use your colors and fonts regardlessly,
but some pens we do really large fonts
of just like grab their attention. And
then for a lot of your podcasts, because
it's just your voice, you know, it's
such a branded piece of content. I
really try to focus on your face and
your font. Have that up there every
single time because I want people to
realize like, oh yeah, there that is
again. They want to listen to it because
you were so important last time. You
know, you gave such good content and
information and they learned, you know,
that we build that following and, you
know, people share your content. That's
really good. I love that. Well, thank
you so much, J. This was really, really
informative. I I'm loving that we're
getting back into Pinterest and I didn't
just ghost my account for forever and
we're already seeing good results. you
sent me, you know, kind of the the
percentage of growth that we've already
seen in just a couple of months of
working together. So, I can't wait to
see where we are next year. Maybe you
can come back on and we can talk about
how much growth we've seen. Um, which is
exciting. Yes. Awesome. Well, I always
ask all of my guests this because
generosity is really important to me and
I think moms and women who are business
owners, as we earn income, it can allow
us to be more generous. So is there any
act of generosity that you've done
recently that you want to share? I don't
know that I have like a financial
generosity because it's okay.
But no, I am an information sharer. That
is what I believe in. So for me, it is
such important to have like a network of
moms like this who we're all moms
running our own business, you know, you
and I both are. And that's who I've met
and learned from other moms and met
other clients is through just networking
with other women, you know. So I post
anytime in my local mom groups about
when they're look I've seen women who
are looking for ways out of their
nineto-5. And so what do I do is I share
to I tell them what I do. Um and then
I'm happy to share about the information
that I've done to get here. I've shared
your your website multiple times with
moms because it's helpful. Like I want
to share what we're doing. You know, I
find that some people and women can can
kind of gatekeep what they how they've
become successful, you know, and that's
what I've loved about, you know, I
listen to your podcast and YouTube
channels as I make your content. And,
you know, you're so forthcoming with
your information like you're you're an
open book about what's what you're
giving. And that's what I try to be for
anyone as well, you know, to help them
out. I don't believe in another pot
Pinterest manager. I'm so friendly with
different women from all over the world
who are in the same boat as me that, you
know, we we share information and even
like share clients. Oh, I'm, you know,
my roster's full right now, you know,
but here's a lead for you or, you know,
this is a new program I'm in here.
Here's the discount code for this. Like,
you should go do it. You know, just try
to help out our other like mreneurs here
that trying to to run their own
businesses so that we can have the life
we want. You know, it's just share. I
just constantly spend a lot of my time
helping other moms try to find their
path because it was such a big deal for
me to be able to quit my nineto-5 to do
this. Amen. Yeah. And it's not
competition. It's just there's room for
Yes. Literally, you know, there is
there's room for everybody and maybe
what I'm doing isn't it, but maybe what
Lindsay has is. Or, you know, a friend
who works in podcast. Like just helping
women to find that just it feels good to
me to know that I'm helping other moms
achieve what I've worked my tail off to
get, you know. Yeah. So that's great.
Okay, Jenny, so you said you're full.
You can't take in on any more clients,
but can you share where people can learn
more from you? How they can get started
on Pinterest if they need a Pinterest
manager? What can they do? Where can
they find you? I'm not full right now. I
was full. I can actually can take on
another client. Great. Um, no, we just
have friends that do this. Like that's
kind of how it is cuz we do manage
accounts and so while you're managing an
account like there's only so much you
can many clients you can have. Um but I
do do strategy calls for other clients.
I've done that a few times now. So maybe
they have a bigger team and they
actually want to take it on themselves.
Then I can do strategy calls for clients
so they learn how to actually manage
their own. I do audits just to help
people get started as far as like what
they should do to implement it. And then
I've kind of created my own like DIY
package as well. So, I have a few
different options for people depending
on what their budget is and their needs
because of how big their business is,
but you can reach me at email um and
Instagram right now. I need to I'm
trying to work on getting on back on to
LinkedIn as well. But, okay. So, we'll
make sure to put all of your uh links
below in the show notes. If you need a
Pinterest audit or a strategy call, make
sure to give Jenny a ring. She's been
really helpful with my Pinterest
account. Like I said, we're already
seeing growth and it's really nice that
she just like takes care of it for me
and I just trust her and I don't have to
worry about it.
Um, but yeah, I I really think that
implementing Pinterest in your online
business can take you to the next level.
So, thank you so much for being here,
Jenny, and um we'll see you guys next
week. Bye.
