0:01 Chat GBT is incredible at helping build
0:05 a Pinterest account. And I have coaching
0:08 clients that I'm constantly saying when
0:10 they run out of ideas or they don't know
0:12 how to build or they don't know what
0:13 boards to create, yada yada yada, and
0:15 they don't have the money yet for paid
0:17 tools, I'm like, all you got to do is
0:19 reverse engineer what's already working.
0:21 It is I do this with YouTube. I do this
0:23 with blogs. I do this with Tik Tok. I do
0:26 it with everywhere that I'm creating
0:27 content and making money, including
0:29 Pinterest. I reverse engineer with
0:31 ChatGpt. So, here's what it's going to
0:33 look like. So, basically, let's pretend
0:36 you're building a website and you're in
0:38 the DIY space, okay? Do it yourself. Any
0:42 kind of DIY space. I go up here to the
0:44 search bar and I'm just going to type in
0:46 DIY. Okay? And we're going to go to all
0:48 pins and we're just going to take a look
0:50 at what it's going to show us.
0:56 Why is it not going anywhere? Hold on.
0:59 Let me do a quick refresh here. This is
1:02 weird day technology-wise. Think I'm
1:04 like, why are things not
1:07 working? All pins. There we go. DIY.
1:10 Okay. Oh, so we're already on this page.
1:12 So, here's what it's giving us. It's
1:14 giving us all of these additional ideas
1:17 that go with DIY. So, we have DIY gifts,
1:21 DIY decor, DIY crafts, DIY book art.
1:24 Okay. The reason it's giving you these
1:26 is because these are kind of like these
1:28 little subcategories that people are
1:31 actually searching for or they're
1:32 actually browsing. They're actually
1:34 interacting with these pins. So, these
1:36 would be excellent ideas for categories
1:39 on your blog. They would also be
1:41 excellent ideas for boards on your
1:44 Pinterest account if you're going to do
1:46 DIY. So, I'm opening Harpa right here.
1:49 Harpa is a Chrome extension, and I'll
1:51 put the link below. This is what I use
1:54 to run my chat GPT, so it can interact
1:57 with any web page. Oh, you should see
2:00 the things I'm doing with thumbnails and
2:02 oh, it's incredible. Anyway, right here,
2:06 I'm going to type in analyze this niche
2:12 uh for Pinterest.
2:15 Okay, now it's page aare. So it's coming
2:18 over here and it's going to read the
2:20 page now. Then it's going to answer us
2:22 based on what we asked it. So analyzing
2:25 the DIY niche for on Pinterest reveals a
2:28 vibrant and diverse set of categories
2:30 and opportunities. Okay. Popular
2:31 subniches. So it says DIY category
2:34 covers decor, sewing projects, upycling,
2:38 engagement potential.
2:40 Okay. Tell me about the categories. that
2:45 I should create boards on based on the
2:49 suggestions on this page. And now it
2:53 should give us like gifts, decor,
2:55 crafts. There we go. See how it's
2:57 reading these directly and it's giving
2:59 them to you right here. You don't have
3:02 to go get a keyword tool or anything to
3:04 be able to do this. Okay. So, the very
3:06 first thing I would say right off the
3:08 bat is if I were coaching one of my
3:11 clients who wants to get into the DIY
3:13 space, if if my client already has a
3:16 specific space, like let's just say she
3:18 makes DIY dream catchers, well, we're
3:21 going to build on that. But if you're
3:23 just saying, I just want to blog about
3:24 DIY and I don't know how I'm going to
3:26 monetize it yet. Maybe with affiliate
3:28 income, maybe with ad revenue, maybe
3:29 with sponsorships, maybe I'll sell
3:31 things on Etsy, whatever. Then this is
3:34 where you would start. This is the
3:36 starting point. Okay. So it gives us
3:38 this. Now if you wanted to, you could
3:41 take these. So gifts would be one board,
3:44 one category on your website. Uh DIY
3:47 decor is another board and another
3:51 category on your website. Crafts, same
3:53 thing. Now, the only one I may not put
3:56 on there is canvas art painting because
3:58 that's a little broad and unless you're
4:00 going to go create a whole bunch of
4:01 blogs on canvas art painting, it doesn't
4:03 really make sense to have that as a
4:05 board. So, same thing with art decor and
4:09 room decor. I'm going to say let's keep
4:12 all decor in one board for now. And
4:19 all Yeah. So, let me see what that does
4:22 now. So, you're going to communicate.
4:24 You're just going to communicate back
4:25 and forth now with chat GPT. So, gifts,
4:29 crafts, book art. I don't love book art,
4:31 so I might get rid of I might just do
4:33 gifts,
4:35 crafts. Okay, let's go with
4:38 gifts, crafts,
4:42 uh
4:45 furniture,
4:48 decor. Let's just start with those four.
4:52 Okay. As boards and
4:59 categories, is there any other main
5:02 categories I should include to start
5:06 with? Now, by the way, I am attaching
5:08 below besides the links that I use, I
5:11 have come up with some power packs for
5:12 you guys that will help you with
5:14 Pinterest, including my 200 uh chatbt
5:17 prompt pack. That's and then I've got my
5:20 uh power stack where I show you how to
5:22 create a long form blog and spin that
5:24 off into a bunch of little blogs. Those
5:26 are great little starter kits for you to
5:28 get learning this. Okay. So, I'm just
5:31 going to go with let's just go with
5:32 those first four. Let's just pretend
5:33 those are our first four that we're
5:35 going to cover. Okay. So, now give me
5:40 uh the
5:42 instructions to set up these boards. Do
5:46 you know you can do this? Do you know
5:48 that you can run Harpa alongside any
5:51 page and ask it how to use this the tool
5:54 and it will do that for you? So look
5:56 what it says. Log in. Go to your
5:58 profile. Create a new board. Tells you
6:00 where the plus button is. Then it tells
6:02 you the title. Enter a name for your
6:03 board such as gifts. Okay. So now I'm
6:06 going to say give me Pinterest
6:10 SEO board titles for our four boards.
6:19 Um, shouldn't they contain
6:22 DIY? I should have said for our DIY
6:25 boards,
6:26 maybe. Okay. Oh, it is. It's right
6:28 underneath there. DIY gifts, creative
6:30 handmade present ideas or DIY unique
6:33 gifts for every occasion. Um, DIY
6:36 crafts, innovative projects. So, there's
6:37 your board titles. Okay. Now, give me
6:40 the board description for each. focus on
6:45 keywords. So, you don't have to guess
6:47 what to name these boards. It's going to
6:49 do it for you. Okay. Now, you also could
6:54 go find like users when you search for
6:58 here. You can search for Pinterest
7:00 accounts instead. And you can look for
7:04 people that have like DIY in their name.
7:06 So, example, Rebecca DIY. Let's go look
7:09 at Rebecca. She must be huge if she's
7:11 number one recommended and has the
7:13 little check mark. No, I don't even know
7:15 why that's happening there. Did she add
7:17 that?
7:20 Um, oh, 38.2 monthly million views.
7:24 Yeah, I would say that's valid. All
7:26 right, so what you could do here is
7:29 let's analyze Rebecca's account. Okay,
7:32 so we got we got some board names.
7:33 That's one way to go about reverse
7:35 engineering. Another way to go about
7:37 reverse engineering is find somebody
7:39 who's in the same space and see what
7:41 they're doing. Well, so here I'm going
7:43 to say
7:45 analyze analyze this
7:49 account. So now it's going to look at
7:52 Rebecca's account and look what it's
7:53 going to do. This is incredible. It
7:56 says, "With 36.8,000 followers and an
7:59 average of 38.2 2 monthly views. Rebecca
8:01 DIY has a substantial audience
8:03 interested in DIY design, craft, and
8:05 decor. Well, if you know that's you,
8:08 you're in the right spot, right? Content
8:10 variety. The account covers a wide range
8:12 of topics from appetizers to home decor,
8:14 DIY crafts, and seasonal ideas such as
8:16 Christmas and Halloween. This diversity
8:18 helps attract a broad audience. Then it
8:20 says popular boards, DIY ideas. So, see
8:24 what she did? She's got one board that's
8:27 just called DIY ideas. Then she's got
8:29 another board, DIY crafts, basically.
8:32 Another one, DIY seasonal boards. Okay.
8:35 Then she's got engagement. Okay. Now,
8:37 watch this. If I want to build a
8:40 Pinterest account like this, tell me
8:45 exactly what to
8:50 do. Define your niche. Kind of did that.
8:54 DIY. Set up your account. Create
8:56 relevant boards. Home decor. See,
8:59 remember we already did DIY home decor,
9:01 DIY crafts. So, it's we know it's on on
9:04 point with what we were just looking at.
9:06 Pin consistently. Okay. Tell me the
9:09 first 10 boards to
9:16 create. So, DIY crafts, DIY home decor,
9:19 DIY gifts, DIY furniture. Those were all
9:22 in our first list. Spot on. DIY for
9:25 kids. That's a good one. backyard and
9:27 garden craft room ideas. Now, it's up to
9:29 you whether or not you want to explore
9:31 if they need the word DIY in them. If
9:34 everything you're doing is going to be
9:35 DIY, it might be a good spot to start.
9:37 DIY craft room ideas, DIY backyard and
9:40 garden. I probably would, but anyway.
9:42 Okay. Uh, perfect. Let's say I already
9:47 have all my boards set up
9:50 now. I'm going to blog every day. I need
9:56 a 30-day
9:59 calendar
10:02 rotating through these 10 topics so
10:08 that each board is getting filled at the
10:13 same time. Now, you don't have to do it
10:15 that way. You could say, "Let's start
10:17 with board number one, get 30 pins on
10:19 there as quick as you can, and then move
10:21 to board number two." That's an option.
10:23 So, let's see what it says. Perfect.
10:25 Okay. So, 30 days, week one, DIY crafts.
10:29 Create and share a blog post featuring a
10:31 simple craft tutorial. Okay. I'm going
10:33 to do it a different way. Do it
10:36 again. Give me the
10:39 titles. Let's focus on spring and
10:42 summer. Now, the reason I did that was
10:46 because seasonality pins tend to get
10:49 pushed out more. So depending on when
10:51 you're starting this, you might want to
10:52 think that way. You know, towards once I
10:55 get towards the end of summer, I start
10:57 going, let's go fall, Thanksgiving,
11:00 October, pumpkins. We start thinking
11:03 that way. But right now, we're just
11:04 barely into spring. We're got all summer
11:07 left. So, that's what I'm going to do.
11:08 So, day one, DIY crafts. 10 easy spring
11:11 crafts for fresh start. Home decor.
11:13 Refreshing DIY. Okay. So, um, I'm going
11:16 to say make them more unique and
11:22 specific. So, I'm showing you this
11:24 because some of you guys won't
11:26 understand how to converse back and
11:28 you'll get just the first thing out of
11:30 ChatGBT and it'll be generic and then it
11:32 won't be special. It'll be like
11:34 everybody else and it's going to be hard
11:35 to rank in there. So, watching me and
11:37 how I converse with with Chat GBT, you
11:40 can learn how I get the most out of it.
11:43 Okay, so week one DIY crafts spring
11:45 butterfly wall art using recycled
11:50 materials. Bingo. That is so perfect,
11:54 unique, special, on point. Love it.
11:59 Number two, transform your home entryway
12:01 with floral spring accents. Number
12:03 three, crafting lavender sachets.
12:06 Perfect Mother's Day gifts. Woo! This is
12:08 so good. I need to go use this. This is
12:11 so good. Now, what you might want to do
12:14 if if you're a writer and you know how
12:16 to do all this and want to go do your
12:17 research and you want to write the blog,
12:19 go for it. If you don't, then you can
12:22 stay actually right here on Harpa even
12:23 if you want to. And I'm going to say,
12:26 uh, this is
12:27 perfect. Let's write number one. Okay?
12:32 So, you're going to start with the very
12:33 first one. Now, you can copy those all
12:34 into a project calendar. You can give
12:36 them to your admin. You can give them to
12:38 your writer. How whatever you want to
12:40 do. I'm just pretending this is how
12:42 we're going to have it written. So,
12:43 here's the title. Spring butterfly wall
12:45 art using recycled materials. Welcome to
12:47 our exciting DIY project. Now, watch
12:49 what I do. Okay, look. Look at the first
12:52 paragraph. Welcome to our exciting DIY
12:54 project where we'll merge creativity
12:56 with sustainability. This spring, let's
12:58 bring the beauty of butterflies. This is
12:59 pretty good, but I'm going to change it.
13:01 I'm going to say, write it like Lorie
13:05 Balon because I've trained Chat GBT on
13:08 my style. understands how I write. So,
13:10 look, now it's changing it. Hey there,
13:11 it's Lori Balon. Are you ready to spring
13:13 into a new project that combines
13:15 creativity, color, and a nod to Mother
13:17 Earth? Yep, that sounds like me. Let's
13:19 take some everyday recycled materials
13:20 and transform them into gorgeous
13:22 butterfly wall art that's sure to
13:24 brighten up any room this season. Okay.
13:26 Um, I love it. So, this is good. So,
13:28 then what I would do is let's just say
13:31 we're going to copy this over to a blog.
13:35 So I would come over here now to
13:38 balonblogger.com. And again that
13:40 basically what I'm doing right now is in
13:41 that uh pack that the power stack one is
13:45 where you'll learn how I'm doing all
13:47 these steps right here. I pretty much
13:48 rinse and repeat most of the blog
13:52 creation part of it. But I'm constantly
13:55 retraining Chat GBT to make things
13:58 better and more unique and sound more
14:00 like me. The more you talk to Chad GBT,
14:03 the more it will know who you are. I
14:05 have it on my phone. It's voice
14:06 activated. Every morning when I go for a
14:08 45minute walk, I talk to chat GBT. I
14:11 talk about my business. I talk about my
14:13 goals. I talk about my life. And it
14:16 knows how I talk and what my inflection
14:18 is and that I'm blunt and short and to
14:21 the point and but yet inspirational and
14:23 educational and informative. And that's
14:25 the style that I usually get out of
14:27 things. Okay. Now, this isn't the most
14:30 robust blog post, is it? It's just a
14:32 This is just a simple how-to. We're not
14:35 trying to be fancy. If you wanted to
14:37 make this longer, you could. You can go
14:40 back and say, "Chat GBT, make this more
14:42 SEO focused or optimize for this
14:44 keyword, yada yada yada." But let's just
14:46 pretend we want to do this. Now, watch
14:47 what I do. I come up here to Harpa and I
14:50 run this chat GBT prompt. It gives me a
14:53 Pinterest idea
14:54 pin, which you can get this one specific
14:58 prompt in my prompt store if you want.
15:01 And what it's going to do is it's going
15:02 to create this beautiful Pinterest
15:06 pin. Okay? And I use
15:11 Ideog. So that's what did I mention?
15:14 Harpa, IOG. You can find those links
15:16 below. And I'm going to go to
15:19 916 to create this pin. This is the
15:22 super fast version. Just showing you
15:24 guys the quick walkth through. I did not
15:26 create these images. Somebody else
15:28 created those images. My images are over
15:31 here under
15:32 creations.
15:34 Anyway, I wish it would not land
15:36 originally on the library, but it does.
15:39 Okay, so down here, look what we have.
15:42 Spring butterfly wall art using recycled
15:45 materials. Here's another one. Here's
15:48 another one. Here's another one. Now,
15:52 depending on what your finished product
15:53 looks like, if I were to go back to this
15:56 to this right here, I would say
15:58 something like this to Harpa. Um,
16:01 describe what we are
16:04 creating exactly so I can get a picture
16:08 of what the finished product might look
16:12 like. One thing I really try to do is
16:17 create the most authentic looking what
16:21 this might look like when they're done.
16:23 Now, I do have a disclaimer on mine that
16:25 says I'm using
16:26 AI and that this is a symbol symbol of
16:30 what could be created.
16:32 It's up to them to um in any art project
16:37 that you put a demo out, it's not going
16:39 to look the same ever, but I want to at
16:41 least kind of get a good idea of what it
16:44 is that we're creating to put on the
16:46 walls before I put out the pin because
16:49 if it doesn't match, it's going to be
16:51 weird. Okay, this does match. You see
16:53 what we're creating here? Basically,
16:56 you're creating these. Oh, that's
16:59 beautiful. We're creating these
17:02 And they all pretty much look the same
17:04 except for all the patterns. Right now,
17:08 watch this little reverse engineering
17:10 trick. Let's say you pick one of these.
17:12 Let's say we pick this one right here.
17:15 I'm going to ask Harpa something. I'm
17:17 going to open Harpa and say, "How can I
17:19 make these?"
17:21 Because sometimes you'll get an image
17:23 that comes out of Harpa that may or out
17:26 of Ideogram that may not be in line with
17:29 the instructions on the craft and you
17:31 don't want that. You want them you want
17:33 to make sure you're creating it
17:34 correctly. So it says gather materials.
17:36 You'll need cardboard like cereal boxes.
17:38 Okay. Prepare the cardboard butterflies.
17:40 Create the paper mosaic. Okay. This is
17:43 it. This is what we're creating. So what
17:45 I'm going to do is I'm just going to
17:47 come over here and make sure that we're
17:49 in like recycled cardboard. Oh, same
17:52 thing. Sure enough. Okay, beautiful. So,
17:56 let's just say I actually like this
17:58 image better even than what the text
18:01 overlay was creating for me. So, I might
18:04 just take this and add a text overlay.
18:06 Uh, cardboard butterflies. Or I might
18:08 just take this and not even put an o
18:10 overlay at all. Sometimes I'll do this.
18:12 Or right here, I'm going to add the
18:15 instructions that Harpa gave us. Let me
18:19 see. Where was that at? Hold on.
18:21 Um, it
18:24 was up here. Okay. Where's the text
18:27 overlay? Right here. Uh, in the center,
18:29 include a Pinterest style text overlay
18:31 with a blog title spring butterfly wall
18:33 art using recycled materials and bold
18:36 uppercase highlight key phrases. D.
18:39 Okay, I'm going to take that and I'm
18:41 going to see what this does right here.
18:43 I'm just going to add
18:45 this to the end of the prompt and see
18:49 how it does with a text overlay on top
18:52 of those images, those butterflies
18:54 because I think those look
18:56 fantastic. And then the only other thing
18:59 we need to do is add the featured blog
19:01 photo, which is a 16 N. Oh,
19:05 beautiful. Okay, so see how that those
19:08 to me look more childish than what we
19:10 were creating. That's beautiful. that I
19:13 like a lot. I like that one a lot. Uh,
19:16 this one looks
19:17 good. This one looks really good. I
19:21 don't know why, but I love this one.
19:22 Spring butterfly wall art. I'm going to
19:24 go with that one. So, I click on the
19:26 three dots, go to JPEG, spring
19:31 butterfly wall art. Then I want to make
19:35 a rectangular one, 169. That's going to
19:39 be for our featured blog post. So, for
19:42 that one, I get rid of the text because
19:46 I my blog already puts text over it. My
19:48 website does. So, just take it off right
19:52 there. And then we're going to change
19:53 this to go to
19:55 169. And we're going to click
19:58 generate. And then we get our featured
20:00 blog photo. And you're good to go. you
20:02 know, people that frown on
20:05 AI, I think it's when you're baiting and
20:08 switching and you're not really you're
20:11 giving false impressions on what could
20:13 be created. You're making a food recipe,
20:16 but you're not actually showing them
20:19 what the finished product. So, like this
20:21 for example, that's so intricate. I
20:24 think that would be a little that would
20:26 look a little fake to me, you know,
20:28 wasn't really this is more like what we
20:30 were creating there. I think this was
20:32 more like what we were creating there.
20:34 So, I'm going to really try to make sure
20:36 that I am staying in line with what it
20:39 is that we're creating. Butterfly wall
20:41 art blog so that they're getting what it
20:45 is that they want. Create your canvas.
20:47 Scan those old magazines for pages. Snip
20:49 them into small strips. Glue the paper
20:52 pieces onto your cardboard. See, this is
20:54 great. Now, what I usually do is I will
20:57 just take that little excerpt and I'll
21:01 paste it right there. Set featured
21:03 image. You just go ahead and upload
21:06 files. Select files. We're going to
21:08 browse for the two um images. First, the
21:13 featured blog photo and then the
21:15 Pinterest image. And then I use Tailwind
21:19 to schedule out the pin. Let me just
21:22 show you because that's the final piece
21:24 here. And I think it's really one of the
21:26 pieces of magic, one of the magic pieces
21:28 of this whole equation because it keeps
21:31 all of my Pinterest pins so on schedule.
21:34 It does cost money. So if you're on a
21:37 budget, you're just starting out, then
21:38 you probably want to use Pinterest
21:40 nativeuler, which is perfectly fine. But
21:43 in my case, I want to show you what I'm
21:45 actually doing. So I'm going to show you
21:47 Tailwind. So this is the this is my blog
21:49 in its entirety. Then I'm going to go to
21:51 crafts and or if you have DIY decor or
21:55 something like that, I'm going to look
21:56 and see if I have a tag that says DIY
21:59 home decor because I might have started
22:02 a tag on that. Sure enough. Okay, so I'm
22:04 putting it in my craft category. I'm
22:06 tagging it DIY home decor. You could
22:08 also tag it butterflies. If you're doing
22:10 a lot with butterflies, you could tag it
22:12 recycled materials. Okay. So then all I
22:16 have to do is I make this a fullsize
22:19 image.
22:20 just because I like the way it fits on
22:22 my blog better. Okay, pretend you're
22:25 done. We are done. The only other thing
22:27 I usually do is fix that URL if it's too
22:30 long. Spring butterfly wall art. That's
22:33 I'm just going to change it to spring
22:35 butterfly wall art. And then I'm going
22:38 to click publish. Then the very last
22:41 piece. And it would be very easy to
22:43 create one of these every day, wouldn't
22:45 it? I mean, I could do that whole thing
22:47 I just did in 30 minutes with one blog
22:49 post. So then all I do is I take this
22:51 little Tailwind Chrome extension. So I
22:53 sign up for Tailwind. I get the Chrome
22:55 extension. I'm going to click down here
22:57 on
22:58 schedule. It's going to open. So
23:02 everything I just showed you guys today
23:04 is in the Pinterest Power Stack. That's
23:08 where you're going to see all of the
23:09 step-by-step instructions. And the
23:11 Pinterest prompt pack has over has 200
23:14 Pinterest prompts that you can use to
23:17 build your business. So, I'm giving you
23:19 lots of different ways to get set up
23:21 here. So, here's my pin and then all I
23:24 do is I pick the board. I'm going to put
23:27 it in craft fun crafts and then I'm
23:29 going to put it
23:31 in schedule. And look what it does. See
23:33 my Q over here? These are how many slots
23:37 I have chosen right now. Sometimes I'll
23:40 amp those up if I'm doing a lot on
23:42 Pinterest. If I know I'm traveling, I'm
23:44 not going to do as much. I'll scale it
23:45 back a little bit. What do we have? 30.
23:47 One, two, three, four, five, 10, 15, 20.
23:50 No, this is good. There's about 30 27
23:52 pins per day, I think it is. So, all it
23:55 did is it put it right in the next slot
23:57 for me. Now, if I'm doing a long form
24:00 blog and I'm putting 10 different
24:01 Pinterest images on that pin, I will
24:04 schedule those out for a week apart
24:05 using the little calendar option right
24:07 here. But if it's just a oneoff blog,
24:10 one idea, then I will click to add it to
24:12 the queue and it just will go at the
24:14 next time it goes out. So there's just a
24:17 couple of ways that you may you can use
24:19 chap GBT that you may not have thought
24:22 of to reverse engineer as you're
24:25 building your Pinterest account. I'm
24:26 Luri Balon. I do have a coaching
24:28 program, Blueprint Coaching. Love to
24:29 have you on board. Thank you so much for
24:31 joining me today. Talk to you soon.
