So, you don't want to be giving away everything that you have on your website and an idea pen because you still want to drive people to your website.It's just super simple to get that really top of funnel, introduce yourself to the Pinterest audience to new potential buyers and pull them in so that once they're following you, you can hit them with those video pins that people can click through on or the static pins that people can click through on.So, building up your, your website, your email list, all of that is really important, but you need people to land there first.Start with the organic content that's performing for you. I think that's a really good way to just sort of juice what's already happening and getting bad content that's already performing well in front of the right people. In social media marketing in general, we talked about the need to be consistent. I think when creating any kind of social media posts, you need to think about the story that you're telling rather than the individual posts that you're creating.Use the platforms. Don't just go in as a marketer. Use the platforms yourself. Get to know them, get to know what you like, get to know what is performing well, and you'll do a lot better as a mark Get her.Find Our More about Tailwind: Click here to start for free and get a $30 credit for a future subscription – only for my community!

Hello listeners! I’m Caroline Schafer, the Podcast Producer for AMSE.  We are just past the halfway mark with Season 2, and what an incredibly informative season we’ve had so far! Episode one started us off celebrating the momentous publication Military Spouse Entrepreneur Guide in partnership with Stars and Stripes! You can read the digital guide online and check your local military base for a copy of the paper publication, or you can request a guide by email.  Episode two is all about the highs and lows of being an entrepreneur.  Moni and Flossie shared their coping mechanisms for the lows, plus other helpful insights regarding sharing on outlets such as social media and such. Plus, entrepreneur Chavah Grant shares how she realized her gifts and turned them into her own successful business - Vida Chic Weddings.   Episode three shares how to keep the naysayers at bay and why it’s important who you talk to about your dream to be an entrepreneur. Military spouse Adam Evans, an entrepreneur trailblazer, loves his current venture with Instant Handz. Adam shares that his “why” isn’t about money; it’s about community.  Episode four explains why doing business the AMSE worked so well for Flossie and Moni that they created the AMSE platform for military spouse entrepreneurs to have a place to learn, grow, and launch their business. Military Spouse Entrepreneur highlight for this episode is Eloise Drain. In 2008 when Eloise set out to start a business, Family Inceptions, to assist families having fertility issues, she also experienced a lack of guidance when starting her business.  Hear how, in the past year, Eloise found the resources and community of support she needs within AMSE.  We are in a time where remote work is more popular than ever! And episode five shares why this is nothing new for the military spouse. This episode also offers some great information from Laura Early, Deputy Director of Wise Advise and Assist Team. Laura talks about how and why she and her business partner, Diana Jaquith, started their business. Want to start a business but don’t know where to start? Episode six is definitely for you! Moni and Flossie share nuggets of information about how to start a business from the ground up! And for extra encouragement, Monica Fullerton, creator of Spouse-ly, talks about her journey of starting her business less than a year ago and what she’s done to pivot and grow her business.   Speaking of pivoting, episode seven is all about how, when, and why to pivot as an entrepreneur. Plus, you’ll hear about Gold Star Spouse Allison Banholzer’s ability to persevere and pivot three times.  Episode eight is all about utilizing your gifts and talents to unlock your business idea. And entrepreneur Brittany Rhodes did precisely that! She turned her natural gift into a business.  These highlighted entrepreneurs’ stories and more can be found in the MSEG Guide - either digitally or in print. One of the things I love about AMSE is that there isn’t just one thing. Co-founders Flossie and Moni have purposefully designed the website and information to be continually relevant to the military spouse entrepreneur. For example, whether you’re a Freemium member or a Premium member, there were a ton of resources on the AMSE blog page!  How to launch and grow your email list Anyone can create passive income - even you!  Let’s talk about Slack! Everyone’s starting a podcast. Should I?  Five businesses you can start today as a military spouse!  There are so many other great topics on the blog page, so you’ll want to check them all out!  And the month of November looks to be just as inspiring as October was!

There are roughly 4.5 billion apps that proclaim they’ll help you manage and schedule your social media, but there’s one in particular that is really piquing the interest of graphic designers: Tailwind. A social media scheduling app that allows you to post to Pinterest and Instagram, two very important platforms for interior designers, Tailwind is a key tool for those who are doing their own social media. So today on the podcast Darla and Natalie are talking to Melissa Megginson, the community manager of Tailwind, who describes her job as being there to make sure Tailwind’s users look good and are having success on Pinterest and Instagram. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of Wingnut Social [3:28] Can you harass Melissa?

How you can use Tailwind for your interior design business Posting to Pinterest and Instagram is essential for interior designers’ marketing efforts, but it takes a TON of time. As Melissa tells us on this week’s episode, Tailwind allows you to schedule your pins from your computer, from your blog, wherever it’s most convenient, and allows you to post directly to Instagram as well. One of Tailwind’s greatest features is what Darla calls its “magical fairy dust algorithm” (™) which allows users to see when the most effective times to post are, and then the app schedules your pins and posts to those times. The Smart Schedule looks at your PInterest and Instagram followers and when they’re on the most often, allowing you to increase your visibility. It lets you get that 5 to 10 pins a day, at least, in front of your followers’ eyes. Create an aesthetic on Pinterest Pinterest can be huge for interior designers, but one thing a lot of designers struggle with is content. Whether you’re new, or you haven’t been thinking of content online for years, you may not have hundreds of photos or blog posts to share. That’s why Melissa recommends thinking of Pinterest as a magazine rather than a catalog. Build an aesthetic that people will be interested in on Pinterest, rather than just showing your own work. Melissa is a wealth of knowledge about how to get the most of your Pinterest and Instagram, and one of the fascinating things she says is that it’s best for your Pinterest to not just be your own work. As she says, a representative from Pinterest recommended that you split about 50/50 between your content and other people’s content that you find compelling or matching your aesthetic.

Melissa Megginson is resident Marketing Manager and Cat Lady at Tailwind, the leading visual marketing tool for brands. Melissa specializes in content creation, social media, blogging, PR outreach and pretty much all things marketing. Tailwindapp is a Pinterest and Instagram analytics and marketing company. Here is their story: They were their own first customer. The founders of the Tailwindapp began using Pinterest in early 2011 as a solution for their own marketing purposes while building BridesView.com. The very first version of Tailwind (then named PinLeague) asked a simple question: how could they identify brides-to-be using Pinterest to plan their weddings? As they dug in deeper, they began to see rapid success on Pinterest. Pretty soon, our friends started asking if we could generate similar insights for them. A huge opportunity was emerging and they decided to pivot, focusing on opening the best Pinterest marketing and analytics platform to everyone. Since then, their users have led them in new and exciting directions, and have helped them to understand that: ROI from Pinterest isn’t just about what happens on Pinterest. The greatest rewards come from leveraging insights across marketing channels, and even across entire organizations. So, they've grown with their users’ needs and are thinking bigger each and every day. Today, over 100,000 of the world’s leading brands and 400 of the top agencies trust Tailwind, and they are excited to see how social intelligence can transform your business.
