Send us a textIf your Pinterest traffic has taken a nosedive, there's a good reason—and a way to fix it. In this episode, we break down Pinterest's latest update that's hiding the "Visit Site" button on some pins, explain why it's happening, and give you the exact steps to get your clicks back. Featuring insights from Pinterest expert Kate Ahl of Simple Pin Media.My insights here are based on Kate Ahl's blog and podcast, which offer some of the most up-to-date guidance available. That said, Pinterest is an ever-evolving platform, and changes can happen quickly—so nothing is ever truly set in stone.I always hesitate to present things as black and white because Pinterest's algorithm and business goals are fluid. What works today may shift tomorrow. But this is the most accurate and helpful information we have right now, and I wanted to make sure you had it.As with all marketing strategies, treat this as a series of micro tests—observe what resonates, adapt to what the platform favors, and refine your approach to get the best results, whether that's in traffic, engagement, or ROI (including the time you invest). Keep testing, keep adjusting, and keep marketing your business with intention.

Pinterest is always evolving, and as we head into 2025, you have to stay ahead of the latest trends and strategies. In this episode of The Ultimate Blog Podcast, Jennifer and Amy sit down with Pinterest expert Kate Ahl from Simple Pin Media to talk about everything you need to know about Pinterest in 2025. Tune in to hear what the most recent Pinterest data is telling us, how to better cater your Pins to your audience, and sustainable Pinterest strategies for success.

Sometimes you have to unexpectedly step away from your business. When you return, it's really helpful to have a program you've created that you can dive back into.

She's also a grad of Create Your Program and Rebel Therapist Marketing Intensive. Here's some of what we talked about: Helping people with restless, problem solving minds The challenges and fun parts of working with extremely brainy humans Diving back into her program after months away because of life issues AND a transatlantic move Her feeling of relief that her program was ready for her to pick up and run again Returning to the container and structure she learned in Rebel Therapist programs so she could stay out of overwhelm in her business Dripping curriculum out little by little so that participants don't get overwhelmed Offering asynchronous as well as live coaching during her program How she's marketing her program using content and guesting on podcasts Show notes at https://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/241

The Power of Pinterest for Business: Tips and Insights for Pinterest Marketing Strategies Pinterest has emerged as a powerful tool for businesses looking to drive traffic to their websites and grow their online presence. You can leverage Pinterest for business success. Learn different Pinterest marketing strategies, common pitfalls, and practical advice for getting the most out of the platform. Understanding Pinterest: A Search and Discovery Engine Pinterest should be viewed not as a social media platform but as a search and discovery engine, much like Google, with a visual twist. Users flock to Pinterest for ideas and inspiration rather than for social interaction. This key distinction sets it apart from platforms like Instagram, where the emphasis is on social engagement. Think of Pinterest as a library where people come to curate their own lives, in contrast to Instagram's bar-like atmosphere where social interaction is the focus. Should Your Business Be on Pinterest? For businesses that thrive on web traffic—be it for leads, ad income, or other revenue streams—Pinterest can be an invaluable tool. However, its utility varies depending on the nature of the business. For instance, local businesses that rely on a community presence may find Pinterest less effective due to its broad, global reach. Conversely, businesses with a national or international audience can significantly benefit from Pinterest's traffic-driving capabilities. Challenges and Successes with Pinterest Marketing Strategies Many businesses invest years into Pinterest, posting content religiously, and still need help to see significant conversions. The cold nature of Pinterest's audience means that engagement and growth can be slow, often taking six to nine months to see substantial results. While warmer traffic sources like podcasts and summits may yield faster growth, the cold traffic from Pinterest signifies a different kind of success. Given the platform's unique audience behavior, even achieving a steady trickle of email sign-ups from Pinterest is notable. About Kate Ahl Kate Ahl is the owner and founder of Simple Pin Media, a Pinterest management and marketing agency. Her company has worked with over 1000 Pinterest accounts over the last 10+ years. Their goal is to help business owners understand how to leverage the platform to grow their email list, find cold leads, and make more sales. Kate is a Pinterest speaker, teacher, podcaster, and strategist.

Kate Ahl is the owner of Simple Pin Media, a Pinterest marketing agency focused on both organic and ad marketing. They help clients create a multi-layered approach to marketing their products or content on Pinterest. After seeing steady growth for a couple of years, her agency was recently hit by setbacks that shook her confidence. In this episode, we'll discuss: Second-guessing yourself as agency owner. Not letting the agency define you. Regaining the focus to get through the tough times.   Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

They also dabbled in Pinterest and the potential for this overlooked platform. Three years later, Kate's family was hit by the reality of post-recession when her husband lost his job. By then, her friend had learned more about Pinterest and suggested she manage people's profiles. “It sounded like the dumbest idea,” she recalls, but since she was in a desperate situation, she gave it a try. She bought the Simple Pin Media domain, went through some content creator struggles, and got to work. Right around that time, Facebook changed its algorithm and businesses were scrambling to find other alternatives. It was the perfect opportunity to give Pinterest a try. After three or four months, her first clients started spreading the word about her work as a Pinterest educator. Still, the agency remained a side hustle for a while until a referral got her five inquiries at the same time. That was the turning point. Kate hired a business coach and from that point treated the agency as a serious business. Second-Guessing Yourself as an Agency Owner Revenue was a particularly tricky goal to set for Kate because of its variable nature. However, as the agency and team started to grow, the million-dollar mark seemed achievable. They did reach that milestone in 2019 and then continued to grow in 2020 and 2021. Unfortunately, she got hit later by the pandemic and in 2022 started seeing a decrease in revenue after several years of growth. Kate used to think the 7-figure mark was the dream for her agency. In reality, it is just another vanity metric like the number of employees. In fact, getting past the 7-figure mark came with a sudden awareness of the level of responsibility she had to employees and as the breadwinner. She started to question how clients were getting into their ecosystem and how sustainable it all was. She was suddenly very aware of how improbable it was to get over both a pandemic and a recession unscathed. The weight of being responsible for a large team – mostly made of working moms – really got to Kate. Suddenly, scaling back to a solopreneur or having a smaller team started to look very appealing. In reality, she can see she was self-sabotaging. Her coach brought this to her attention and helped her see the need to separate her identity from her agency. Not Letting the Agency Define You Being an agency owner can't become your entire identity. At some point, you will exit the business. If you're too attached to the role as owner and see the agency as your baby, you'll never be able to delegate. Some people feel selling their business is the equivalent of selling your soul. Instead, if you see yourself as being “entrepreneurial” and not just an entrepreneur, you'll be able to take that to whatever you take on next. Agency owners don't realize how much their identities become entrenched in the business. It makes sense, you put everything into your agency. Many owners believe they won't be the type to be too engrossed however, one day they wake up to the realization that's exactly what happened. And it happened to Kate, who admits she thought she'd be the exception to the rule. At one point, she even thought of selling the agency instead of turning to layoffs to stay afloat. She needed to take a step back and realize everyone would lose if she gave. She needed to step up and make hard decisions. Focusing on the Right Things to Get Through Tough Times In order to get through a difficult time, Kate reflected on what had worked before. When they were growing back in 2019, what was the team structure? What were the lessons learned? She now had the added advantage of more experience to help her be a better leader. It's easy to become resentful as growth declines but it's also useless. Instead, Kate chose to get back to the basics and really understand her clients. By doing that, she opened the doors to be more profitable than before. Trusting herself as the leader of the agency was very important for their overall success. In hindsight, she got distracted by what she saw in the marketing space, which led to self-doubt. To get back on track, she stopped focusing on what others were doing and focused on results. Why Your Agency Team Needs Opportunities to Flex their Idea Muscle Going back to the basics with your agency means going back to the vision you set in the beginning. It maytake a couple of years, but creating the agency vision provides a timeline for your agency's growth. Sharing your vision helps elevate your team to believe in it and empowers them to start making decisions without you. Kate is very proud of having a team very tuned in to her agency vision. They've gotten through the most recent setback thanks to the vision. However, getting too deep into implementation modeduring crisis makes it so the team isn't flexing the idea muscle as much as they should. Kate's team had been grinding so much that they hadn't given themselves the opportunity to get creative. Is that in contradiction to a business going through a setback? Tough times are always an opportunity to look at things in a new way. It can be a chance to think differently. Give your team an opportunity to think of fun ways to stand out and serve clients. Ultimately, your agency will benefit from having a team that allows themselves to think bigger and dream bigger. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Today, I'm thrilled to share some this podcast episode rebroadcast with my friend and Pinterest expert, Kate Ahl. We discussed the evolving landscape of Pinterest, its impact on bloggers and entrepreneurs, and how to leverage it effectively for your business. My Journey as a Blogger and Entrepreneur Before we dive into the details of our discussion, let me share a bit about my journey. My husband and I started Catch My Party in 2009, and later developed the MiloTree pop-up app. Recently, we launched MiloTree Cart, a platform designed to help bloggers sell digital products. We also have a digital product personality quiz on our website to guide people on where to start with digital products. Pinterest: A Changing Landscape In our conversation, Kate and I delved into the recent changes on Pinterest. The platform experienced a surge in users during the pandemic, but as the world started to open up again, there was a decline. To keep users engaged and attract e-commerce sellers, Pinterest introduced Idea Pins and the Verified Merchant Program. They also recognized that Pinterest is a great platform for informing future purchases. Pinterest vs. Instagram: A Unique Position Pinterest has carved out a unique position in the social media ecosystem. Unlike Instagram, which is more like a bar, Pinterest is more like a library. Pinterest aims to keep users on the platform longer to attract big brands for advertising. However, they also acknowledge that 97% of searches on Pinterest are unbranded. The Impact of Removing the Creator Fund We also discussed the removal of the Creator Fund, where Pinterest would pay creators for content, and its impact on creators today. Kate believes that this move is a net positive for creators in the long term. She explained that the program had frustrations for some creators, such as limited participation and the distraction of creating content for Pinterest instead of their own websites. Pinterest's Shift Towards Ecommerce Kate sees Pinterest shifting towards ecommerce and partnering with platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce, indicating a focus on smaller sellers. This shift towards retail and ecommerce raises questions about how it will affect bloggers, DIY bloggers, and party bloggers. However, Kate suggests that Pinterest is becoming more friendly towards both digital and physical products, allowing self-hosted sellers to upload their products and update listings easily. Building Your Own Online Presence Kate and I emphasized the importance of building your own online presence and not relying solely on social media platforms like Instagram. Your main content should be on your own website, with platforms like Pinterest used to bring people into your ecosystem. The Future of Social Media Platforms Looking ahead, I shared my thoughts on the future of social media platforms, as they are constantly changing. I advised creators to build their businesses on their own platforms and create products that they can sell and own the customer relationship. Conclusion Despite the various changes and struggles Pinterest has gone through, I am optimistic about its future. I see it as a slower-moving platform with potential for business growth. I encourage you to explore the possibilities of creating digital products to take control of your businesses. Remember, patience is key when it comes to seeing significant results from platforms like Pinterest. Show Notes: MiloTreeCart Personality Quiz: What Digital Product Should I Create?

IT'S SEASON FOUR, EVERYONE! This year we are doing quarterly themes - and I'm so excited to bring you the theme for the second quarter: Business Strategy. I feel like as we go into the second part of 2023, it's so important to be able to take a look at what you have done so far, and then look to the future as we prep for the rest of the year. Business Strategy is going to encompass social media strategy, hiring practices, internal business structure and more. Today's episode is with Kate Ahl, the founder of Simple Pin Media. Together, we are discussing whether or not Pinterest is still worth your time to learn and maximize, how to repurpose content you are already creating, which Pinterest metrics we should really be paying attention to and what the most valuable part of your marketing strategy should be. Find Kate HERE.

Have you ever struggled to lead effectively when either growing and/or managing a large team? Is it hard for you to delegate tasks to your team, because you'd rather have control over the bulk of the material you're responsible for? This episode starts season 10 of the Christian Woman Business Podcast. Thank you so much for being with me up to this point! Since I recently moved and have taken a full-time job (read about this on Instagram), I am not going to be creating new content for this show for the next few months. So, for the duration of season 10, I've selected some of the best business focused episodes from my other show, the Christian Woman Leadership Podcast, to share with you! In episode 115 of the podcast, you'll hear a conversation I shared with Simple Pin Media Owner and Founder Kate Ahl, who shares how she has grown her business substantially over the years while learning how to let go of control, and delegating tasks to her team. She shares tips on how to let go of that control, how to help your team members work in their strengths, and how to stay in your own lane rather than falling into the comparison trap.

But as an agency service provider, it's my responsibility to implement that for my clients and take on ownership of the success of their business.”“One of the things multiple owners do is get stuck on creating the system because they're really, truly afraid to get rid of it. The real issue is you have to be willing to kind of unclench your hands to let somebody else do it.”“The part of onboarding that is often missed is that you are taking over a piece of responsibility in somebody else's business and you are acting on behalf of them.  That takes time. That takes study. I have to understand what your goals are and what your purpose is and what your brand is in order to accurately reflect you. Build that into your onboarding process.”In This Episode You'll Learn:What it takes to be a customer-first-based businessBeing an agency service provider vs. an educatorCreating repeatable systems that actually workDifferent types of agency business modelsThe crucial part of onboardingMentioned on the Show:Do Scale by Les McKeownThe Empowered Agency Podcast Love the show?
