In their most recent earnings call, Pinterest unveiled several figures that point to a growing company. The CEO stated to investors, "Our efforts to grow users and deepen engagement continue to yield strong results. Global MAUs hit another all-time record of $498 million, growing 11%, accelerating from last quarter and growing sequentially in all of our geographic regions." These figures were reported by Pinterest during the earnings call and represent the company's perspective of robust user growth patterns. One of the main tenets attributed to Pinterest's success is the consistent advancement in revenue over the last quarter of 2023, as reported in the earnings call. The company has embarked on initiatives in capital management and operational processes which they believe has streamlined their finances. Product innovation has been a focal point for Pinterest. According to the company, its use of artificial intelligence has improved the user experience on the platform by refining content discovery and providing new user interaction methods through innovative features like collage-driven Pins. The company's CEO shared his optimism about recent developments, stating, "We're seeing our best product market fit in years, as evidenced by the strong growth in our Gen Z demographic and the fact that our most recent user cohorts are significantly more engaged than user cohorts from prior years." This perspective from Pinterest's highest executive underscores the company's take on their increasing engagement with younger users. According to the company's announcements during the call, Pinterest intends to continue focusing on performance and increasing its share in advertisers' budgets. Anticipated strategies include the refinement and wider adoption of products like mobile deep linking and shopping ads, partnerships with global tech giants like Amazon and Google for international market monetization, and a keen investment in artificial intelligence and technical selling capabilities. Conclusively, Pinterest's latest earnings call presents an overview of a company that sees itself in a phase of growth—marked by financial advancement, product innovation, an understanding of consumer trends, and strategic plans. However, these are largely based on the company's outlook and claims, and while the picture is positive, it must be viewed with the knowledge that these are projections and intentions, not definite future outcomes."

The holiday party season is in full-swing—don't be shocked if you find yourself popping by wine shops frequently during this time of year! I designed this episode to teach you how to shop for wine very quickly, and how to make buying wine an enjoyable and effortless experience. 1:30: Check your local wine shops and follow them on Instagram + join their newsletters: If your local wine shop has TikTok, Pinterest, Facebook Groups, Instagram accounts, or newsletters, get plugged in there, so you're the first to know about any new opportunities to buy or taste excellent wines. Getting to know your wine and spirits community on Instagram is the fastest way to know what's new in-store, hours of operations, and find out when they're holding tastings. Part of the magic of wine shopping is wandering the aisles and getting recommendations in real-time, so get chatty with the staff! 3:00: #2: Take a photo of your favorite bottle labels and file them away. I love to make Pinterest Pins or add them to Instagram Stories highlights for my own reference makes shopping for wine feel like I'm consulting my own personal wine library. 4:15: #3: Pick a budget and don't budge it! Decide on your maximum spending and your expectations before you enter the wine shop. My personal wine shop rule of thumb when shopping for wine: 3 or 4 bottles for $50. This budgetig rule allows me to try different bottles at various price points without breaking the bank. Alternatively, you can calculate the average price per bottle that you're willing to pay. For me, I try to keep my purchases at $12-$15 per bottle. 6:45: #3: Consider what you'll be eating, when you're buying. If your weekly dinner menu consists of pasta, keep red wine on deck. If you eat poultry, veggies or fish, keep a neutral collection of wines like rose, pinot gris, and reds. Thinking about meal prep when buying wine is a great way to make sure you're buying wine that you'll drink and that goes with what you are eating. Bonus: This allows you to budget for wine in a natural and effortless way! 7:45: #4: Pick up a liter of wine in a varietal of your choice for top-value by both flavor and price! For example, I enjoy hearty winter foods that call for red wine. I recommend the Hand Work Tempranillo wine from Spain, imported by T. Edward Wines—it's round and flavorful with a wooden, deep berry flavor. The flavor improves throughout the week, and it's perfect for splashing into any pot roasts. I picked up the Hand Work 2021 Tempranillo from Kings County Wines in Brooklyn, NY. 9:30: #5: Ask for and taste what's new. Remember—wine is seasonal, just like food. When you pop into wine shops, it can be tempting to select the old reliable favorites every time. Every once in a while, challenge yourself by asking the wine shop team if they have any recommendations, any sleeper hits, or interesting bottles. Attending in-store tastings is a great way to experience and taste what's new, and get to know the new distributors and winemakers that are entering the store. HACK: Join wine shop newsletters to be the first to know of any tastings! To recap the 5 Wine-Shopping Hacks You Need to Know: Follow your local wine shops on social media and join their email newsletters. Take a photo of the wine labels you enjoy, and file them away in your phone Pick a phone and don't budge it Consider what you'll be eating wile drinking the wine, and shop accordingly Ask for and taste what's new—wine is seasonal, just like food I hope you're loving Bri Books!

The buy signals are indicating an overbought market condition, which could potentially drive the Nasdaq even higher or serve as a warning sign to reduce risk. Oil has once again come into play, with indications suggesting that its upward trend will continue as Opec+ further cuts production. Chevron (CVX), currently holding the largest position in the trading tips portfolio, stands to benefit from this development. However, Pinterest (PINS) was removed from the portfolio last week due to a stop-loss trigger, despite generating a profit of over 10%. As the markets face new challenges, the impending rise of the debt ceiling will likely result in significant sales of profitable US bonds and a shift of investments from volatile stocks to fixed returns. In today's episode of Trading Tips With Jim, he provides an initial glimpse into the auto trading bot he is developing. This topic will be explored in future episodes of the podcast series as well. The bot operates based on signals generated by Jim's proprietary algorithms, which currently monitor over 4,000 stocks every minute. He will discuss various aspects and challenges of signal detection and share insights on his attempts to build the most effective auto trading bot in the market. Tune in to this week's episode of Trading Tips With Jim for all this and more. Website mentioned in todays podcast: https://stockinvest.us https://getagraph.com
This week, our bet is on the Pinterest [PINS] stock, which is currently oversold. If there is a resolution to the debt ceiling negotiations, Pinterest may experience a short-term upturn. However, economic data continue to fall short of expectations, and stagflation looms ahead. As signs point towards a potentially prolonged and challenging economic downturn, it's crucial to consider how the market may respond and how to approach it.

Ulanoff discusses how TWTR has tremendous potential, and growth is what social media programs search for. He compares TWTR to Snap Inc. (SNAP), Meta Platforms (FB), Pinterest (PINS). He also talks about how TWTR needs to pull in younger users and have them grow up with the platform so they stay on it in order to become a real competitor with other social media like FB.

One of the questions I get the most often from my one on one marketing clients is: Do I Have to Blog for My Wedding Business? The short answer is: YES. I had an incredibly simple but very significant customer experience with a company over the holidays of 2020. This experience just further solidified my opinion that #1 blogging isn't dead and #2 your email list should be a huge focus in 2021. I want this episode to inspire you to get on the blogging/long-form content train in your wedding business. Will you see "instant gratification" from this marketing method? Absolutely not. Will it create a long-term, gold mine of clients and client referrals? Absolutely yes. Links from this Episode: WED Content 365 The CE Shop Blog Actions Steps from this Episode: 1. Go update the Copyright/All Rights Reserved year to 2021 in the footer of your website. 2. Go create two brand new Pinterest Pins per blog post on your website.

Paul Lambert says that both Paylocity (PCTY) and Paycom Software (PAYC) have cyclicality and secular growth trends benefiting their businesses. Shopify (SHOP) will likely benefit from economic recovery as more dollars will be spent through the platform. And finally, Pinterest (PINS) is a favored name in communication services currently.
In today's episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, we're digging into how to easily design Pinterest pins to get more traffic. Face it, there's no better way to get traffic to your blog than Pinterest. And now that Pinterest has come out and said it wants "new content," it behooves you to create lots of new pins for the platform. But how do you do that without burning out? I've got my friend and graphic designer, Clara Gerlach from 5tips.co, on the podcast to share her strategies for creating effective pins easily and quickly using Pinterest templates. Clara also shares her five tips for effective pin design, and the five photo types she recommends you capture to use in your Pinterest pins. If you are not a designer, you can still create eye-catching pins that "stop the scroll." You need to know a few design rules that Clara outlines, and have a plan in place before you start creating your next pins. It's totally doable!

Es gibt gefühlt Tausende von Blogartikeln, Pinterest Pins, etc. darüber welcher Farbtyp man sein könnte. Zu mir kommen manchmal Frauen in die Beratung oder in den Club, die schon mehrere Farbberatungen hinter sich haben. Wenn ich dann frage, warum hast du denn überhaupt eine zweite oder dritte Beratung gemacht? Dann ist of die Antwort: “Weil ich mich mit den Farben aus der ersten Beratung nicht anfreunden konnte.” Sie waren also auf der Suche, und zwar so lange bis sie das Gefühl hatten, endlich angekommen zu sein. Die Einschätzungen waren zum Teil sehr unterschiedlich! Eine Frau wurde erst als Sommer- und dann als Frühlingstyp eingeschätzt. Nur als Hintergrund, als Sommerfarben bezeichnet man sehr kühle, eher pudrige Farben (rauchiges Blau, kühles Pink, Grau), als Frühlingsfarben sehr leuchtende warme Farben wie Orange, Türkis, Gelb, also das genaue Gegenteil der Sommerfarben. Wie kommt es nun, dass ein und dieselbe Person so extrem unterschiedliche Einschätzungen erhält? Ich vermute, dass es daran liegt, dass es nicht DIE Farbberatung gibt. Erst einmal darf sich jeder Farbberaterin nennen. Das ist kein geschützter Begriff, der eine ganz bestimmte Ausbildung mit einheitlichen Anforderungen voraussetzt, wie zum Beispiel der Beruf des Tischlers. Zum anderen kann es auch daran liegen, dass die Einschätzung nicht von den Naturfarben ausgeht, sprich also die gefärbten Haare in die Analyse mit einbezieht. Außerdem denke ich, dass wenn man mit 4 “Schubladen” also den 4 Jahreszeiten arbeitet, man sich ja als Beraterin am Ende für eine entscheiden muss. Außerdem wird bei Frauen mit einem wärmeren Haarton (goldiger, rötlicher Schimmer oder Farbe) gleich davon ausgegangen wird, dass sie deswegen einem warmen Farbtyp zugeordnet werden müssen, also dem Herbsttyp oder Frühlingstyp. Und hier wird es spannend. Meiner Erfahrung nach spricht eine wärmere Haarfarbe nicht sofort dafür, dass dieser Person nur warme Farben stehen. Wenn die Augen zu roten Haaren zum Beispiel sehr kühl sind, Grau oder Blau, dann spricht das für einen Warm-Kalt-Kontrast. Dann bringt das Zusammenspiel von warmen und kühlen Farben das schönste Ergebnis. Deswegen finde ich es so schön, eine wirklich individuelle Beratung zu machen, bei der wir ein richtiges Fine-Tuning mit den passenden Nuancen machen. Worauf achte ich am meisten? Ich beschreibe das gerne als 3 Regler mit deren Hilfe ich die Farben “einstelle”. Diese 3 Regler kannst du dir über die Abkürzung HIT merken: 1 Helligkeit 2 Intensität 3 Temperatur Wichtig zu wissen ist, dass ich immer von den natürlichen Gegebenheiten ausgehe. Also ungeschminkt, von der natürlichen Haarfarbe ausgehend. Möglichst ohne Brille, außer die Kundin sieht sich ohne Brille überhaupt nicht und verträgt keine Kontaktlinsen. Die Brillenfarbe kann, genauso wie eine künstliche Haarfarbe einfach ablenken von den natürlichen Gegebenheiten. Was bedeuten diese Parameter nun? Helligkeit ist der Hell-Dunkel-Regler. Hier schaue ich, wie hell oder dunkel die Haare und Augen sind. Bei uns Mitteleuropäern mit skaninavischem Einschlag kommen häufig mittlere Helligkeiten vor. Gerne Straßenköterblond genannt. Ich mag diesen Begriff nicht, aber so bezeichnen viele Kundinnen ihre eigene Haarfarbe. Manchmal sind die Augen heller oder dunkler als die Haare, dann spricht das dafür, dass HelligkeitKontraste in den Outfits gut sein können. Dabei musst du nicht gleich an Schwarz-Weiß denken. Oft sind es leichte Kontraste, die besonders schön sind. Wenn die Helligkeit nur leicht variiert, ist es eher kein Kontrast, sondern Ton-in-Ton. Bei vielen Frauen macht die richtige Helligkeit schon einen großen Unterschied. Intensität ist der Gedämpft-Leuchtend-Regler. Die Spanne geht hier von sehr pudrigen Farben bis NEON, wobei sowohl das eine als auch das andere Extrem bei uns eher selten vorkommt. Hier achte ich besonders auf die Augen. Sind sie leuchtend oder verwaschen, also eher meliert? Sind die Augenbrauen eher zart und fallen weniger auf oder sieht man sie deutlich? Dann kann auch noch mal mit reinspielen ob du gut bräunst oder nicht. Worauf es ankommt ist, dass die Farben dich nicht überstrahlen, indem sie zu leuchtend sind und dir nicht die Power nehmen, weil sie zu zart und pastellig sind. Temperatur ist der Warm-Kühl-Regler. Kühle Farben sind z. B. Blau, Grau, blaues Lila, Pink und warme Farben z. B. Grün, Orange, Gelb, Braun… etc. Der berühmt-berüchtigte Hautunterton spielt hier eine Rolle, aber den selbst zu erkennen ist sehr schwierig. Ich finde, dass sich die Temperatur sehr stark von den Augen erkennen lässt. Graue, graublaue, Blaue Augen sprechen für kühle Farben. Da kannst du schon mal davon ausgehen, dass Orange, Braun und Co. nicht zu den besten Farben zählen. Wenn deine Augen z. B. Olivgrün ohne kühle Anteile sind, dann wird Grau vermutlich nicht zu deinen besten Farben zählen. Und wenn die Haare zu den kühlen Augen sehr golden oder rötlich sind, dann kommt eben der Temperaturkontrast zum Tragen, den ich eingangs erwähnt habe. Wenn du also mit diesen 3 gedanklichen Reglern schon mal ungefähr eine Idee erhältst, in welche Richtung deine besten Farben gehen, hast du schon viel gewonnen und kannst aus der Vielfalt an Möglichkeiten beim Stoffeshoppen schon mal einiges ausklammern und erleichterst dir die Auswahl. Welches Merkmal ist am wichtigsten? Manchmal sticht ein Merkmal bei einer Person besonders hervor. Sind die Augen und Haare dunkel, dann wird eine gewisse Dunkelheit bei den Farben wichtig sein. Fallen sofort die leuchtenden Augen ins Auge, dann sind die besten Farben mit Sicherheit intensiv. Dann darf es farblich auch mal krachen. Sind die Augen Grau und haben die Haare eher einen aschigen Ton, dann ist es besonders wichtig, dass die Farben kühl sind. Das ist jetzt stark vereinfacht. Es spielen ja trotzdem immer alle 3 Parameter eine Rolle, aber eben nicht bei jeder Person in der gleichen Gewichtung. Ich sage dir, das ist ein superspannendes Thema, das ich auch gerne im Club vermittle. Der Farbpass In der Regel erhältst du als Ergebnis einer Farbberatung einen Farbpass. Da sind mir schon sehr unterschiedliche Varianten begegnet. Vom Farbfächer über kleine Scheckkärtchen bis zu Stoffmustern gibt es viele Varianten. Meine Kundinnen erhalten einen ganz individuellen Farbpass mit ihren besten Farben, Farbkombinationen. Wenn Kontraste wichtig sind, arbeite ich diese auch mit ein, damit du einen Shoppingbegleiter hast, der ein Leben lang hält… Achtung, so lange bis die Haare ergrauen, falls sie das tun. Grundsätzlich ist es so, dass dein Farbtyp ein Leben lang gleich bleibt. Im Alter ändert sich häufiger etwas an der Helligkeit, weil weiße Haare hinzukommen. Dann kann der Farbpass noch mal mit hellen silbrigen Akzenten aufgefrischt werden. Manchmal trüben sich die Augen im Alter etwas ein, so dass die Farben evtl. etwas gedämpfter werden können. Das müsste man im Einzelfall sehen. Was mache ich mit meinem Farbpass? Spannendes Thema. So eine Farbberatung muss erst mal sacken. Für manche Kundin bestätigt sich das schon vermutete und gelebte, für andere kommt ein überraschendes Ergebnis heraus. Oder eine Mischung aus beidem. Der Farbpass gibt Sicherheit. Es ist nämlich schwierig, sich Farben zu merken, weil sie ein Stück weit relativ sind. Sehe ich eine Farbe neben Neongelb kommt sie mir gedeckt vor, sehe ich sie neben Beige kommt sie mir vielleicht leuchtend vor. Daher ist es toll einen Farbpass mit Stoffstreifen zu haben. Diesen kannst du direkt an den Stoff halten, den du kaufen möchtest und nochmal absichern, ob er den richtigen Farbton hat. Bei der Anwendung kommen dann doch wieder Fragen auf wie: Kann ich alle Farben miteinander kombinieren? Sollte die Farbe eher in einem Muster vorkommen oder geht die auch für die Brille? Es gibt eine Regel die besagt, dass die besten Farben am Gesicht auch die besten Farben im Gesicht sind. Das gilt für Make-up, Brille, Schmuck, etc. Die Umsetzung der Farben ist sehr stark vom persönlichen Stil abhängig. Du kannst ein und denselben Farbpass bei verschiedenen Frauen verschieden umsetzen. Bist du ein sportlicher Typ, dann sind Streifen (gute Farbe + Weiß) ein gutes Muster um Frische und Dynamik reinzubringen. Bist du ein romantischer Typ, dann sind es eher die floralen zarten Muster, die zum Tragen kommen. Es kann aber beides aus der gleichen Farbwelt kommen. Aber ich sage dir, die Stilberatung ist noch so viel umfangreicher und intensiver als eine Farbberatung. Und das wichtigste ist natürlich, dass du Freude an deinen schönsten Farben hast. Wenn du dich einmal in deinen schönsten Farben gesehen hast, dann wirst du mit der Zeit merken, dass du diese immer lieber tragen wirst. Ich bin auch kein Verfechter davon, sich sklavisch an einen Farbpass halten zu müssen, aber ich glaube eh, dass die Beratung lange nachwirkt und nachhaltig wirkt, wenn sie gut war und die Kundin sich gesehen und verstanden fühlt. Für manche Kunden ist es wichtig, sich neben den besten Farben noch weitere Farben freizuhalten und das ist ok. Diese Freude möchte ich niemandem nehmen. Es gibt so viele Möglichkeiten Farben, die nicht zu deinen besten Farben gehören, clever in ein Outfit zu integrieren. Dazu höre dir am besten die Episode #43. Ich hoffe, dass du aus dieser Folge Inspiration für deine Farben mitnehmen konntest. Im Club kannst du das Thema Farben für dich noch intensiver angehen. Vielen Dank, dass du mir zugehört hast.

Wingnut Social: The Interior Design Business and Marketing Podcast
Do you know how to create Pinterest pins that are eye-catching, informational, and worthy of going viral? Or does Pinterest endlessly baffle you? So many assume that it operates like Instagram but that is far from the case. If you’re ready to create pins that pop—that drive traffic to your website—listen to this episode of the Wingnut social podcast with Shana Heinricy. Shana is currently Wingnut Social’s director and the genius behind our marketing strategy. She holds a master’s degree in communications and has worked in public relations and communications all of her professional life. She loves the creativity social media affords her while also satisfying her analytical side and need to see consistent results.

While Instagram is the current obsession and the #1 social media platform you should be using, you need to add Pinterest into your arsenal. Pins (and now videos) that you post on Pinterest are indexed by Google and will show up under a Google image search. This is huge! Images are the 2nd largest driver of traffic to your website. So how do you optimize your Pinterest posts to be indexed by Google? It’s all in the details. Your image needs to be titled correctly with your business name and a term that is searchable by Google. Focus on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and keywords in your caption and remember, unlike Instagram: Everything is searchable on Pinterest. How to create Pinterest Pins that will go viral Pinterest is especially valuable for designers who blog or have their own product line. Because—gasp—you can sell directly from Pinterest! Shana says if you fall into those categories, you need to spend a significant amount of time on Pinterest to drive traffic to our products or blogs. You have to understand that Pinterest is geared toward people experiencing particular life moments. They could be buying and decorating a new house, giving birth to their first child, or planning a wedding. So your keywords need to cater to people immersed in these life moments. Shana says the simplest way to do that is to create pins that will go viral. But what type of pin tends to succeed above all others? An infographic. Detailed infographics that stand out have the highest likelihood of going viral. Take the blog post that you want to drive traffic to and find a way to visually represent it in an infographic. If your pin is successful, you can take it and boost it—and watch the traffic to your website soar.

Is Uber and Lyft Stock Worth It? You can't really say it's been a rough IPO market, with many names performing quite well since going public. Zoom Video (ZM) , Pinterest (PINS) and others have been strong thus far. However, we can say it's been a rough IPO market for ride-hailing services as both Uber (UBER) and Lyft (LYFT) have seen strong selling pressure since making their debuts. Lyft opened for trading near $88 in late March and is quickly down $40 a share six weeks later to $48 on Monday. The stock is down about 6% on the day and is making new 52-week lows on the session. Uber isn't far behind, with shares down more than 11% on the day to $37. Shares are making new lows and are well below the $45 IPO price at this point. If fact, both stocks have similar action two days in, with the exception that Lyft opened well above its IPO price before fading lower. It's got investors shaking their head and asking, "What's Uber stock really worth?" Unfortunately, that's not such an easy answer. Granted, Uber couldn't have gone public at a worse time -- at least in the short term. That said, even when the market was posting a big upside reversal on Friday, the day Uber went public, the ride-hailing stock couldn't even bounce back over its IPO price. In the buildup to Uber's IPO, the company was looking to fetch a valuation as high as $120 billion. That would ensure that even its latest round of investors -- for which there have been so many rounds for a private company -- would be able to exit with a handsome profit. After seeing the reaction to Lyft's IPO, Uber had to become more conservative with its IPO but was still aiming for a $90 billion to $100 billion valuation. At one point, valuation expert Aswath Damodaran of NYU said the company is worth much less than that, pegging its valuation at around $60 billion. That puts the company at about 5.3 times 2018 total revenue, which grew almost 40% from the prior year. "If there is anything positive that can be extracted from this table [referencing Uber's annual EBITDA data], it is that the losses are decreasing as a percent of sales, over time," he wrote. Uber's a tough one because there aren't many comps on the public market. Besides Lyft, what else do we compare it to that's a U.S. traded stock? All investors have to go on is Lyft's recent performance and earnings result. There's also the fact that they both lose a lot of money. In 2018, the company had an operating loss of $2.8 billion and while that's improvement from the prior year's operating loss of $3.8 billion, it's still a big concern. In this type of market where investors have more questions than answers, companies like Uber fall into the sell first, examine later pile. Will we see the 40%+ beating that we've seen in Lyft? If so, that would bring Uber below $30 a share and its market cap down below $50 billion, as its market cap presently hovers near $62 billion. While that may seem like an unlikely scenario, just remember how far the stock has fallen thus far. Should the market selling accelerate in the coming days and weeks, it doesn't look like Uber stock will be a safe place to hide. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/carterfarrpodcast/support

Pinterest is often written off as a lifestyle site with little to no value for businesses, but you CAN use Pinterest to drive traffic, leads and sales for your business...and here's how. This week on The Inbound Success Podcast, Alex Nerney explains how he has used Pinterest to successfully build a following and drive traffic and revenue for not one, but two online businesses. With more than 3 million monthly views on one Pinterest account, and more than 4 million on another, Alex knows a thing or two about what it takes to not only create a successful Pinterest presence, but do it in a way that generates meaningful business outcomes, and in this episode, he's sharing all the details of that strategy. This week's episode of The Inbound Success Podcast is brought to you by our sponsor, IMPACT Live, the most immersive and high energy learning experience for marketers and business leaders. IMPACT Live takes place August 6-7, 2019 in Hartford Connecticut and is headlined by Marcus Sheridan along with special guests including world-renowned Facebook marketing expert Mari Smith and Drift CEO and Co-Founder David Cancel.

Click here to learn more or purchase tickets for IMPACT Live Some highlights from my conversation with Alex include: Alex and his wife Lauren created their blog Avocadu.com and within a year, were making more than $100 thousand dollars a month from it. From that success, they built CreateAndGo.com, a site that teaches people how to make money from blogging. Alex has two business Pinterest accounts, one that gets 3.1 million views a month, and another that gets 4.4 million view a month. When you think about how to use Pinterest for your business, you need to focus on curating content for your target avatar. The important thing to understand is that what works on Facebook and other platforms will not work on Pinterest. When starting out on Pinterest, you should plan to have around 10 boards. Pinterest is a JQuery search engine, which means it drives organic traffic through keyword search. You can do keyword research right inside of Pinterest by typing in a keyword that you want to get found for and seeing the types of searches that come up. You can use this information to create top, middle and bottom of the funnel content, just as you would with any content marketing strategy. PINGROUPIE is a helpful tool that can be used to identify boards that are influential for a particular topic on Pinterest. Images that are 1,000 x 1,500 pixels do best on Pinterest and you can use tools like Canva.com to create them. Treat the copy for your Pinterest posts like you would web copy and ensure it is SEO optimized. Pinterest has recently introduced the ability to share video on the platform, opening up new possibilities for how marketers can use it. The key to getting found on Pinterest is to post consistently.

Transcript Kathleen Booth (Host): Welcome back to the Inbound Success Podcast. I'm your host Kathleen Booth, and this week my guest is Alex Nerney who is the founder of Create and Go, which is an online blog which, get this, that teaches others how to start a blog and make money from blogging. So you're the blogger that teaches bloggers how to blog. Alex Nerney (Guest): I know, tragic. Kathleen: Welcome on. Alex: Pulling into this space. Thanks for having me. Alex and Kathleen having WAY too much fun while recording this episode Kathleen: Talk a little bit about yourself. How did you wind up founding Create and Go? What led you down this path and give a little bit more about your background. About Alex Nerney and Create and Go Alex: Yeah, for sure. Let's start out with explaining "the how we fell into this" for our readers. Back in 2015, I was working as a personal trainer at the time and my co-founder, Lauren, was working as a CPA, and we were really disenchanted and disenfranchised with where our lives were headed. You could kind of see the writing on the wall. We didn't have a lot of time for vacations, and not a lot of time to travel, didn't have a lot of time to do the things that we wanted to do. It felt like we were always chasing the weekend and drinking our sorrows away on the weekends. So we decided that we would start a website. Started out with a website called Health and Happy Hour and that website failed completely. It was a- Kathleen: Oh my God, but I love the name. Alex: It's an amazing- Kathleen: It's Health and Happy Hour. That's like having it all, having your cake and eating it too. Alex: Exactly, exactly. You know, the funny thing is people still to this day, I get that comment all the time. They're like, "That's an amazing name," but just another business tip is that your name doesn't necessarily mean your success, you know? So we started it and really was centered around us and we wanted to talk about working out and health and drinking, because those were the things that we liked to do. And so, we went through, and it was just where we started. It was our foundation. That blog ended up not succeeding. We started another blog called Avocadu.com. Less funny name, and hard to spell and not the most perfect name in the world, but that blog we grew very rapidly. Within a year, we were making $100 grand a month. During that time, we quit our jobs and went all in, sold all of our things and tried to make this whole blogging thing work. And so, what happened is we started this blog and it became successful, and the pain of going through that process of learning how to blog was very real, because I felt like other people who were teaching this subject about blogging about blogging didn't know what they were talking about, because that's all they had ever done was to teach people how to blog about blogging. They'd never ran an actual separate blog. And so, it was very much like, "We should do this because we can do this so much better." And so, that's how Create and Go was formed, and we teach blogging about blogging and we love what we do and we love getting to help people. We've had a few students now reach six figures and beyond, go from zero dollars to quitting their jobs in all sorts of niches, in anxiety and depression and law, and things like that. So it's just been a phenomenal process. It's been a lot of fun for us, and so, to this day, Create and Go makes over $100 grand a month. We make over $100 grand a month, but combined between our blogs, and we really teach people how to do it and how to get started. So that's me. That's us. Kathleen: That's a great story. I love that you shared that the first one didn't work, because I feel like there's so many of those stories, whether it's my first business, or, in my case, my first podcast was a big dud. Alex: Oh, really? Kathleen: I do find entrepreneurs especially tend to be very reticent about sharing their failures. I was business owner for 11 years, and I remember how isolating it can feel when you feel like everybody else is crushing and you're like, "Wait, what am I doing wrong?" Alex: For sure, for sure. Kathleen: But, under the surface, there's a lot that a lot of people are doing that's wrong, and I think if we all were willing to embrace that and talk about it more, we would all be better for it. You learn so much from those failures, and so thank you for sharing that. Alex: I totally agree, I totally agree. I think it's that necessary step of success, and it can be a very humbling thing as well, because I know you're like me, and you consider yourself a smart person and watching all these other people succeed while you are failing again and again, beating your head against your computer, it can be frustrating, but it just becomes part of the story, and I couldn't agree more that the more people that share that open process and share the facts that, "No, it's not all laptops on the beach." It's not all that dream all the time. I think it's so important for beginners starting out and having success. Kathleen: Totally, and I remember once I did research on this and I was shocked by how many seemingly wildly successful entrepreneurs, at the same time, have been flat out failures at things. Like Dyson is a famous example that most people know who tried, I don't even know how many iterations, 50 some odd, hundred some odd iterations of the vacuum before he landed on the one that worked. And Oprah got fired from her first job and network TV, and there's so many more like that where you look at these people and you think, "You're just magical. You know how to do things," and you don't see those earlier failures. Alex: Totally, totally. It's easy to see people's successes. It's not as easy to see the hard times, because the problem, too, is we don't record the hard times. Kathleen: That's right. Alex: We don't hold the camera up for the late nights in front of a computer, because we're just like, "Nobody cares." But, I think that one day someone will. So, I'm talking to my personal trainer, and I'm like, "Dude, you need to film yourself every day right now. When you're not aware, being perfect," he's young guy. He's 23, 24 now, and I'm just like, "Dude, you need to start filming everything, because if I could go back and have one thing, it would be to have the proof of those things. If you have the late nights in front of the computer where nobody's watching but you." Kathleen: Yeah, yeah. I feel like we could have a whole nother podcast on this topic- Alex: I feel like we could. Kathleen: -because I'm super passionate about it. Using Pinterest to Grow Your Business Kathleen: But, there was a very specific reason that I wanted to talk with you, because, in addition to teaching people how to blog, one of the things that is very interesting about you is that have a Pinterest presence, which, first of all, is interesting because Pinterest, the majority of the users of Pinterest are women, so I love talking to a guy whose doing well in Pinterest, break the stereotypes, and you get 3.1 million monthly views on Pinterest, and that has actually fueled the growth of your blog. I've talked to a lot of different marketers on this podcast about a lot of different growth strategies, and Pinterest has never come into the conversation, so I was really excited to talk about it for the first time, especially not just how do you do Pinterest and get followers, but how do you do Pinterest and achieve goals outside of Pinterest, using Pinterest? Alex: Totally, totally. So, humble brag, too, we also have another one that has 4.4 million as well. Kathleen: Ah! That's crazy. Alex: We got the Pinterest system down- Kathleen: That's awesome. Alex: -so I'd love to share about it. How to Monetize a Blog Kathleen: Now, before we dig too deeply into Pinterest, one thing I do want to clarify, because I want to make sure I understand it, and also my listeners. You talk about yourself and your co-founder making money with blogging and, obviously, teaching others not just how to blog, but how to eventually monetized the blog. Can you just give me the quick highlight reel of how are people monetizing blogs? How are you teaching them to do it? Is it primarily through advertising, or are there other methods that your clients and yourself are using to monetize your blog? Alex: There's a scalable system that people should start with, and I think it's almost true of any digital business, and it starts with basic things. What I've noticed from teaching just beginners is that getting those first few wins matter a lot. So what it starts with, it starts with things like sponsored content and ads, because those are layups, those are things where people can make their first few dollars, and sometimes it's just about believing that this thing is real, right? The next step up would be high-level, or affiliate marketing, just general affiliate marketing. Everybody should start there because of a variety of reasons, because it allows you to test things, it teaches you to sell, it teaches you what products are selling. It's a really valuable lesson. Then scaling up to a higher level version of affiliate marketing where you're marketing higher priced products and services. Again, another level of learning, another step. And then, the final step I actually think is creating your own products and services. I think that's the final step, is whenever you're building this community, you know how to sell things, you know what your community needs probably better than affiliate product, and then you create your own. And then you create your own products and services, and that's really how you scale something up to $10 grand a month, $100 grand a month, is by creating your own digital products and services. Kathleen: Okay. Thank you for clarifying that, and to make sure that I understand, so a lot of my listeners are actually in B2B marketing roles, and when I put on my B2B hat, what I hear when I listen to describe that, is you could start with, if you have a site with a blog, you could start with either taking advertising, or sponsored content, from companies that want to reach the audience that you have. IMPACT, my agency, takes sponsored content. So this is happening in B2B already, for sure. And then, it sounds like the second level, being affiliate marketing, for an individual blogger, it's easy to image how that might play out. For a B2B blogger, I could see things like if you are doing book reviews using an Amazon referral link so that you're getting a slight kickback on anybody who buys that, and I would presume that, in doing that, then the rule of thumb is always "be very transparent," because I believe there are FTC guidelines around that. Alex: Absolutely, absolutely. And those are serious things. Kathleen: Yeah. And then the third level being whether that's create a training course, or creating some kind of a subscription based, or membership based offering. Alex: Yeah. Kathleen: I could see it translating very easily to B2B, and have you seen that as well? Alex: I think so. I haven't personally worked in that space, but here's how I image it. So let's say you have a software business and let's say you're building out a SaaS program, what you could actually do partner with other SaaS programs, and say, "Hey, listen. I want to drive you traffic," or even then just do it for, even if they don't give you the affiliate kickback, learn how to create an email marketing sequence that sells that software, right? In that, you can prove through deliverables that sells, even if they're not giving you money, because, again, it's teaching you that sales process. Then, when you create your own, then you control the margins and everything, and it's really a plug-and-play scenario, because if you're promoting this software and it's something that you can do better, then you just plug in your own thing and be like, "Hey guys, I've now created my own. This is where you go." It's a good way to test things without, what happens with a lot of businesses, what happened with me a long time, is that you run to the end goal, you run to creating your own product, you run to creating some massive thing without properly testing it, and that's the biggest mistake ever, because you'll spend hours and hours, and sometimes it just flops. Kathleen: Yeah. I love this approach, because if anybody listens regularly to this podcast, they've probably heard me mention Joe Pulizzi's book Killing Marketing, and that's really the premise of his book. For a B2B businesses is, or really B2C, too, it's build an audience first, honestly. And then, the audience will tell you what your product should be through the dialogue they're having with you. And then, your business becomes monetizing that audience. Alex: Yes. Kathleen: But, in doing so, you have to do it in a way that also safeguards the interests of your audience, because if you're too spammy or too salesy, you drive your audience away, and if that's the base of your business, it's like shooting yourself in the foot. And so, for those B2B marketers that are interested in learning more about this, I would definitely recommend reading Killing Marketing by Joe Pulizzi, because that is the handbook for how to do this well in a B2B world. Alex's Pinterest Strategy Kathleen: But, so now that we've clarified monetization, let's dig into Pinterest a little bit. I'm so interested in hearing what you're doing here, because I'm a Pinterest user. I will admit I'm not a power user at all, by any stretch of the imagination. Every time I want to make some change in my house, I'll start a board. So it will be like, "Here's the driveway gates board, here's the board for outdoor shower inspiration." Or if I'm getting a new haircut, here's the haircuts board, or the recipe board. Alex: Yeah. Totally. Kathleen: But, sounds like this is a very different approach. So start from the beginning and describe to me what you're doing on Pinterest. Alex: So it really starts with the high-level of thinking about why people follow boards, or why people follow particular types of content. I'm into tattoos right now and really into motorcycles. I just got my license, very excited about it. So the things in the content of Pinterest that I'm personally following have to do with that, and Pinterest is sort of this curation place where you curate what you like into making it your own. I like a particular design of a tattoo, so I'm curating a bunch of those and putting those together, and it's all curated together. So, what you are doing, from a high-level business standpoint, is you are curating content around that target avatar. You are around that target person that you want to visit or come to your place. So for my business on Avocadu, our health blog, we're really in the women's weight loss space, right? So we curate everything from under the sun for the 45 to 55 year old woman who wants to lose weight, but is struggling to do that. So our entire design and everything is around curating content for that person. That's how you build up a big following and a big fanbase. Obviously, we'll get into the specifics and stuff, but that's how you want to think about it. That's how you want to approach Pinterest from that standpoint. What happens with businesses, and what happens with a lot of marketers and why they don't succeed on Pinterest is, well, number one, Pinterest is the red-headed stepchild of social media, right? Nobody really knows how to use it, it's kind of confusing, it's just very different. So it can throw people off. But, the second part is that they come in thinking that the same things that might work on something like Facebook apply there, and it's not true. It's a very different approach, and you have to know how the system works in order to have the success you can have, but once you can have success, you can have crazy success. We've had people go from zero visitors to 50 thousand visitors a month organically to their website with Pinterest within a month. Now that was a year or two ago, so the results are not always the same now, but you could still go from zero viewers to 20 thousand, 50 thousand within three months, with you doing and approaching the right strategy. Kathleen: So I'm going to pretend that I'm a business that's not on Pinterest. Well, I am a business, well, we might have Pinterest, but we don't do a lot with it. Alex: Yeah, yeah. Kathleen: So let's pretend we're starting from the beginning, and you mentioned beginning by identifying your avatar, or your target audience, in a very specific one, at that. And then, you go and you create your Pinterest account, and from my past experience with Pinterest, I know at least there are a lot of different ways you can slice it. You can have multiple boards. Alex: Yeah. How to Organize Your Pinterest Presence Kathleen: And how you decide thematically what goes on each of those probably could vary quite a bit. Can you talk a little bit about how you advise your clients to approach organizing their Pinterest presence? Alex: Mm-hmm (affirmative). So it's starts out high-level, so it just depends if you're running a personal thing or if you're running a business thing. So if you're starting out, let's do an example. It's always going to be easier for an example. I actually really like the idea of an e-commerce store, because I think it really highlights the differences between what you would typically market, like on Facebook versus Pinterest. So let's say you're coming on there, let's use my sister's actually, Live Luv Lavish, and what should would first start by doing is by creating group boards around keywords on Pinterest. Pinterest is a jQuery search engine. What that means is it's like a Google, it's like a YouTube. People type in the things that they want to see. Those things are served to them. That's, again, what makes Pinterest so amazing is it has organic content, has organic reach. Organic reach only happens through jQuery search. So, because of that, you would start by creating group boards around the things that people want, with the keywords that they're looking for. She sells natural cleaners, like organic soap. One word would be "natural organic cleaners." Another group board might be, most people who are going to buy these are homemakers, right? So something like "Designing your perfect home," right? These are the group boards that you're centering this content around. Remember, you're thinking about this avatar. Who is buying my product? Who is interested in what I have to sell and what I have to say? And that is how you start, by organizing it through keyword research, essentially, on Pinterest. You go in, you type in your topic, and the great part is Pinterest will serve a lot of different results right underneath of things people are typing in, so it gives you a really good outline of "here's what these people are interested in." Kathleen: Okay, that's interesting, because it really is essentially the same thing that any marketer should be doing outside of Pinterest, which is really understanding, given my target audience, what kind of content do I need to create at the top, middle and bottom of the funnel? Alex: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Using Pinterest To Do Keyword Research Kathleen: And so, it sounds like what you're saying is, with regular marketing and content creation, a lot of these people are going to places like Google Analytics and Google Trends and SEMrush and doing their keyword research on those kinds of platforms, but from what you're saying, it sounds like you can actually do your keyword research right in Pinterest. Is that correct? Alex: You do it right there. You can do it right there. Now, it's not going to give you the same stats and data, but it will give you ideas, and that's sort of what matters on Pinterest, because content can still go viral, as well as a Facebook, so it's more like creating the specific content around the avatar, and then getting in their heads, right? So, again, we go back to that example of Live Luv Lavish, we're talking about a homemaker. Let's say they have a son and, like me, he was always bringing home dirty sports equipment, right? So a great topic would be "what to do with your son's nasty sporting gear," and have a picture of hand holding a dirty sock, a dirty football sock, like mine. That would be a good example of something to start. Something that would do well on that platform. Creating Your Pinterest Boards Kathleen: Okay. So you identify your topics, your top, middle and bottom of the funnel topics. You create a board for each. Is there any kind of rule of thumb about if you're just starting, how many boards should you have? I'm sure the answer is, probably, it depends. Alex: Yeah, yeah. Kathleen: But, any guidance you can give to anyone? Alex: Yeah. We have very specific guidance in our course, and Lauren stays really up-to-date with the exact number of group boards, so I wouldn't want to talk out of place, but I would say at least 10 group boards around these specific topics that your audience is going to be interested in is a fantastic place to start. Kathleen: Now you just said something that I want to dig into a little bit deeper. You said "group boards." Alex: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Kathleen: So my understanding is, Pinterest, you have your regular straight up board where you, the person that created it, are the contributor. And then, are you referring to group boards where you create the board, and you contribute, but you open it up and invite others to contribute? Alex: I was actually referring to your own boards, but, as well, joining group boards is another huge strategy on Pinterest, joining group boards around the topics that, again, are relevant to your audience is a big way to get started. You can do that with tool like PINGROUPIE that will organize those group boards and show you which ones are most popular of that space, which groups boards were way more effective in way more important back in the day. They're a little less effective now, but they're still an important part of the process of really cultivating growing a solid Pinterest account. Kathleen: Okay. So you create your boards, and then, obviously, the next step is to start populating them with content- Alex: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Kathleen: -and I have a lot of a lot of questions here. Alex: Yeah, go for it. Creating Content for Your Pinterest Boards Kathleen: But, I'm going to just start with, talk me through what you tell people at this stage? Alex: Totally. So the first thing you're going to do is you're going to build it out with whatever content that you currently have. So whatever content you have, you have to start by creating Pins. There are images that are different size on Pinterest that work better than on a Facebook or an Instagram. I believe it's a thousand by 1,500 is the exact Pin dimensions, so it's a tall, long image. Again, another reason why most marketers and people give up on Pinterest and why you shouldn't, because that barrier to entry is there, and when there's a barrier to entry, we know that, beyond the barrier to entry are good things. So the barrier to entry is there to create the Pinterest images, and you would start by using specific Pinterest images for your target content. S o let's say you've written 10 different posts on different topics in your space. Or let's say, again, let's go back to that example, has created 10 different pieces of content. She would start by creating those Pinterest Pins and pinning them to the specific group boards that match that content. So, running it back, she has a group board named "all natural cleaners," right? So she would start by pinning her all natural cleaners on those group boards, and that would be the very, very first place that she would start. Kathleen: Okay. Now, I am not good at graphic design, and so my fall back for things like this, like Pinterest images, has always been Canva, which is great because it has templates that already know what sizes things should be. Are there any other particular tools that you recommend to people like me who are disasters when it comes to trying to go into graphic design programs? Alex: The start of how actually we got started back in 2015 was I was working on the blog and I was always interested in making an image for a program, and Lauren came over and looked over my shoulder and I was like, "Whoa, that is terrible," and I was like, "Yeah, it is terrible," and she just moved my chair over, was like, "Let me help you with that." So I, too, fall into that space of not knowing what to do. So the two strategies that I would have is, yeah, Canva's a great source, but especially for the busy marketer and busy business owner out there, Fiverr's amazing. Fiverr, $5 a Pin. It's something very cheap to get something that's actually pretty good quality. I'm sure that that is outsourced to the Philippines or something like that, but you will get great quality images for not a lot of money, and it can save you a lot of time and a lot of hassle, because, as well as just putting a Pin on each particular post, I'm going to get into the next part where you need to create multiple Pins around the same post, right? Because you're kind of split testing what works and what doesn't on there. So you're going to create four or five different images on one particular post to see which one works the best. So outsourcing that work to a place like Fiverr is a great resource. Kathleen: Interesting. Okay, so multiple images per post to see which one drives results. Alex: Yes. Kathleen: You Pin those. Obviously, you're creating these images, but you want them to live on the post so that you can pin from the post, so that when people click the image it takes them back to the post, correct? Alex: Yes, yes. You got that crazy Pinterest logic. You've got it down. Kathleen: Yeah. Otherwise you're driving traffic to your Pins, but it's not going anywhere. Alex: Right. Creating Copy For Pinterest Posts Kathleen: So, once you get the image on to Pinterest, are there other best practices as far as, do you use hashtags? Are there ways that you can use the copy that goes with the Pin to drive attention? Alex: The biggest things are having the words written on the Pin itself, having it written out. So if you have something like, again, "all natural," "the top 10 all natural cleaners," right? You want those big, bolded, easy, clear letters on there, so that when people are scrolling through their Pinterest feed, they see that. Pinterest, like everything else in marketing, in business, is a competition, so your click-through rate on Google is an easy example, right? So if my click-through rate is better, because I have a better title, Google will now favor that content, as long as we have the same read time and stuff like that. Same goes with Pinterest, right? When someone's scrolling through content, they're scrolling through and they see four different Pinterest images, right? So you have to stand out. That's your goal, is to stand out in the presence of somebody searching for your content. The easiest thing, and it's going to sound so dumb and so trivial, but it's to go on Pinterest, type in those things, look at what other people are pinning, and ask yourself the question, "Can I do it better?" And, "What would better serve this market? How can I make this image better or more interesting, or more clickable?" Those are the questions you want to ask, and then go create those things. If you do that, over a long period of time, you will be served very well. Video on Pinterest Alex: And, also, there's all sorts of new things. Pinterest just rolled out video, as well, which is going to be a huge opportunity for businesses. If you can produce videos and know how to produce videos, it's going to be a massive opportunity right now. Kathleen: I love what you talked about with finding what's already out there and doing it better, because it's the exact same advice that we give to people about creating content. If you're going to write an article about something, go to Google, find what's already showing up for that topic, and write something better, or don't write anything at all, because it's not going to get around. Alex: Yeah, or just don't, or just stop. Yeah, yeah. That was the simple process with even the product creation, was like go out there and see what products are available. Can you do it better? And then, there's a need for it. But, if you can't, do not. Don't- Kathleen: Yeah. Don't waste your time. Alex: Don't make something worse. Don't even bother. Kathleen: Yeah. Now, okay, when you said the word "video" and Pinterest in the same sentence, I was like, "Ah, we need to stop and talk about this," because I know my team, at IMPACT, is very invested in creating video. We have our own in-house video production team. So tell me more about video on Pinterest. Alex: Pinterest and video have been a long slog of a process. They tried to do this back in 2018 and just couldn't get it to work. I don't know exactly why they struggled for so long to get it, but they re-rolled it out earlier this year, and the initial results that people are getting have been really strong. It's a way to definitely stand out, like I said before, from the competition. So, again, if somebody's scrolling through and looking for all natural cleaners and they see four Pins and one is a video Pin of showing the cleaner and then spraying it and using it on something, obviously that's going to stand out by a large margin. So if you're able to produce videos on there, you already have your competitive advantage. Get your ass on Pinterest. It can serve you well. Kathleen: And especially when you think about the work that goes into creating good video. If you put all that time in and it feels like if there's just one more place you can put that video, get it out there, because it's all about distribution. Is it fair to say that, because this is so new, it's a little bit of the wild west in terms of best practices and what's going to work? Alex: All of Pinterest is the wild, wild west. Pinterest ads are the wild, wild west. Pinterest images are the, I love Pinterest, but they really struggle sometimes with just basic advertising things, the stuff that comes so inherently and so easy when you're on Facebook is not the same experience that you're going to have on Pinterest. But, again, these barrier to entries of, that make it a good thing, so yeah. It is the wild, wild west, but, again, there's really great rewards to the person and team that puts in the effort and time there. Shoppable Pins Kathleen: And hasn't Pinterest just, or are they in the process of introducing shoppable Pins? Alex: Again, this is one of those things that they've tried and fumbled, and they're there. They're there and I don't really have any good use cases of people doing it, but the one thing I have seen work really well. So back to Live Luv Lavish, because this is a great example. So she has a cleaner on sporting equipment. What's a great piece of content instead of just putting your product on Pinterest, would be to create some piece of content that that person would want. So I would create something like the five best sporting cleaners, and then list your product as number one on there and be like, "This is an awesome product, but here are some other ones that are really great." That is a really great way to do it on Pinterest, because people will share that content more than they will share something like a shoppable Pin. But, shoppable Pins do exist, and there are people that do well with it. They're not really in my circle, though. Getting Found on Pinterest Kathleen: Got it. Now, once somebody gets content up on their Pinterest account, are there tricks to getting it found and to getting that initial traction and getting seen? Alex: Not really. The biggest thing on Pinterest is this consistency of the platform. You'll see it on YouTube. If you're posting every Monday, YouTube will give you a little bump. The same with Google. If you're posting regularly or posting regular content, Google gives you a little nudge. They like that. They like fresh, they like new content. So that is what I would more say. You are essentially, there's this thought that I had when we were creating our initial Pinterest thing, it's called "shotgun theory." You know the difference between a rifle and a shotgun. A rifle, it shoots a singular bullet into a very small space, right? But, a shotgun, you spread out. The pellets explode and they spread out and they create a wide spread. Kathleen: That's the phrase "take a shotgun approach," which is- Alex: There you go. Exactly, exactly. And that's what you want to do. You want to spread out that content, because one of those things will go viral and go big. So all of the content is centered around that, right? That's why you're creating five different images, that's why you're pinning those 10 different posts, because, out of all of that, one of them will do well, but one of them will do really well, and that's the fun part. Kathleen: It does sound a little bit like, at this point, Pinterest is such a great opportunity purely because marketers haven't completely ruined it. They have some other platforms. Alex: Yeah, yeah. Like Facebook. Who Is - And Is Not - Right For Pinterest? Kathleen: I'm not saying get in there and ruin it, but there is this opportunity to be the first mover in your space for Pinterest. Is there anybody that Pinterest is not right for? Any type of business that it's not right for? Alex: I would say if you're really tech focused. I would say that Pinterest is going to be hard to come by. Pinterest has surprised me before. We have a client of ours who is in the health and wellness space. His name's Rusty Moore. A really good friend. And he got our Pinterest course way back in the day. It's a cool story, but I won't go too far into it. His blog is primarily, though, focused on men, and he was getting a million visitors a month on Pinterest to the male audience, because it was kind of underserved. So I wouldn't say that there are things that are never going to work on Pinterest, because he's kind of proof that you can make it work. I would say, though, that there are, a techy more focus is going to struggle more on there. Anything that's not visually stimulating will be a little bit more difficult. It's kind of the same as Instagram and these types of things where the things like recipes, or the things like travel photos. These images that are very visually stimulating give you a bump up and a leg up. But, I wouldn't say that there's too many topics that you couldn't work in. Lawyer, we have someone who made a lot of money with law. She teaches people how to make disclaimer pages and stuff like that, properly Kathleen: Fun. Alex: I know, right? Super exciting stuff, but she's doing really well with it. Kathleen: But, I think it all comes back to how creative you get about the content, because I don't remember the name of the product, but I read something once about, it was a blender, and the company that makes this blender created this completely viral marketing campaign, because their messaging was all about how it's very powerful and it can blend almost anything. They were sticking things like hammers in the blender, and things you would never put in a blender-they were putting in and making videos of it blending and chopping the things. And so I feel like if you're, even with tech companies, maybe you're not going to do your straight up marketing of your server, but if you can think of a creative way to demonstrate the power of your product or your service, then who knows? Alex: I couldn't agree more. I think it's all about the creativity of the individual. It's the same thing with monetizing a blog or website. I feel like it comes down to creativity. I know of an instance of a guy making $20 grand a month on his blog about herbs. And by herbs I mean the weeds you pick your backyard, and he's able to make, what, more than most high-paid lawyers, online, selling herbs. Kathleen: Wow. Alex: So it's more like how you creatively approach, again, that target person that you're trying to reach. So, yeah. If you had a tech company, or those sorts of things, I'm sure there's a way to work it in, if they can work in the blender industry. Kathleen: Well, and if you're listening and you have an idea, Tweet me or send message, because I want to hear it. Alex: Yeah, for sure. How Pinterest Has Helped Grow Alex's Business Kathleen: I guess, to bring this back to where the rubber meets the road, can you talk a little bit about the specific results that you've seen? You mentioned that you get 3.1 monthly views from Pinterest. What does that mean for your business? Alex: We can use Avocadu as an example. We get 4.4 million viewers, translates to about 200 thousand organic visitors to our blog and our website, and that is the primary traffic source driving in all of the income for Avocadu. We get Google traffic, as well, but that's a blog that does $10 grand to $20 grand per month, really on autopilot without us having to touch and do much to it. So there are some specific stats that you can expect. Out of your total impressions on Pinterest, which is what you're seeing, the 3.1 million, I can probably get, what, 15% of that to actually click or click over 15%, 20% of that. But, again, that represents a substantial amount of traffic. And then, as well, I think something that's so much more valuable than that is the fact that it's organic and searchable over time, because nothing allows you to scale more than having consistent traffic coming in and knowing that it's coming in every month, because it frees you up to focus on things like optimization and email marketing and these types of things. Kathleen: Yeah, that's pretty incredible. You mentioned 200 thousand organic website visits a month. Is that right? Alex: Yes. Kathleen: I'm sure there are lot of people listening who would just love to have 200 thousand visits to their website a month, period. Alex: Right. Kathleen: Who cares where it comes from? Alex: Right, yeah. Kathleen: So that's pretty great. Alex: And that's another good point. The average Pinterest user is something in the $70 grand per year ballpark, way above average mean and average income, so they're a good demographic of people who actually like to spend money. They're not like, I don't know, your StumbleUpon audience. I don't know much about, I just assume that it might be not as spending focused. Let's say that. Kathleen: Yeah. That's great. Well, I'm now totally trying to process all the ideas I have for what I can do on Pinterest. Alex: Good, good. Kathleen: Every time I do a podcast, my team probably groans, because I come back and I'm like, "Here's 10 more things we should be doing." Alex: Ideas. Ideas. Kathleen's Two Questions Kathleen: Exactly. People who listen know that I always ask the same two questions of every guest I have and I would love to hear your answers. The first of those being, company or individual, who do you think is doing inbound marketing really well right now? Alex: I would say, let's talk about one on Pinterest. Somebody I've been super impressed with is Kate Ahl. We have recently used her team to outsource some of the things on Pinterest, to outsourced some of the creation of the content and organizing of the content. I think she does it very well. She has a Pinterest podcast. It has this really seamless approach of getting people in, learning the best about the platform. I've been really impressed with her efforts, especially as of recent. I was always a fan of DigitalMarketer. I was always a fan of Ryan Deiss's team. I always thought they provided some interesting stuff that, I don't know, that definitely impacted our business. We learned about Pinterest because of being in the DigitalMarketer Lab back in the day, because they had posted something on, like, "Yeah, we're getting tons of visitors on Pinterest," and I was like, "All right, let's check this out." Kathleen: Well, I have to agree with you on Ryan Deiss. It was funny, you live in Austin. We were just talking about this before we started recording. I was in Austin a few weeks ago, and it was to visit and meet with DigitaMarketer. Alex: Oh, it was? Kathleen: Yeah. Alex: Oh, yes, yes, yes. Yeah. Totally. Kathleen: We're a partner of theirs- Alex: Oh, awesome. Kathleen: -and we love those guys. Alex: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kathleen: So shout-out to Ryan Deiss and Marcus Murphy and Michael Meola and the whole team over there. Justin Rondeau, I just had him on my podcast a few days ago. Alex: Oh, nice. I've always been so impressed by Deiss's ability to see into the future a little bit. Obviously, sometimes, he gets it wrong, but I go did go to Traffic And Conversion Summit, not last year, but the year before, and it's always interesting. I love his looking glass of the marketing landscape and seeing his opinions on it. I think he really does understand marketing at an unbelievable level. Kathleen: Yeah, he's a smart guy, for sure. Alex: He is. Kathleen: Now, Kate Ahl, spell her last name for me so that I know how to find her. Alex: I think it's A-H-L. Kathleen: Okay. Alex: Yeah. Kathleen: Perfect. Alex: Yeah. Kathleen: Just one I hadn't heard before and I'm so excited to have one that's a Pinterest person so we can see some more examples of that in action. Alex: Yeah, for sure. For the people who are interested in Pinterest, we have a Pinterest course that teaches people how to do it, called "Pinterest Traffic Avalanche." As well as her stuff, she sees it from a very big business standpoint. She manages tons of different companies and their Pinterest accounts and stuff like that. So, because of her looking glass, being able to see into all of their stats and these types of things, it's the same way we're able to see for bloggers and small business owners all of their results. She can, not predict the future, but she's always fresh to date on the best content on there. How to Connect With Alex Kathleen: That's great. Now, you mentioned some of the courses that you have. If somebody's listening and they want to learn more about blogging, the stuff that you guys teach, or they want to learn more about some of the other things, like the Pinterest course, what's the best way for somebody listening to find and connect with you online? Alex: There's two ways that I'd send them, and it would either depend if you're a video person or if you're written blog post. If you are a written blog post type person, createandgo.com is where we blog at. We have two epic posts, one on how to start a blog, and then one on how to make money blogging. And that level, that stepping stone strategy that I just talked about on where you need to start and what's your next steps and will pinpoint exactly where you're at and what you need to do next, that is on there. There's a link at the top. You'll be able to find it pretty easily. The other thing is if you are more of a video person, and if you're listening to podcasts, you might like to just play it and listen to it. We have a lot of fans that do that. We have a big YouTube, a big YouTube channel, we have a YouTube channel, 58 thousand subscribers. It's doing well. I actually just recently posted the video version of the how too make money blogging. Again, really breaks down this whole thing. But, we have tons of YouTube videos on there. A lot of people who buy our products, they say they just binge watch the videos. And what's cool about it is you can see the first video I did, maybe three years ago, where I look like a mess, I am in Nicaragua and I have very long hair and haven't shaved in a while, and you can listen to this kid talk about blogging and succeeding with, but it's fun to look back on. Kathleen: That's so cool. Where were you in Nicaragua? Alex: We were in, oh my god, one of the, it's been a while. Kathleen: Was it San Juan Del Sur? Alex: Oh, so it was close. Now I see you're familiar. Kathleen: Were you surfing? Alex: Oh, absolutely. The surf [crosstalk 00:42:50]. Kathleen: I don't surf, but I went on my honeymoon to a place right near San Juan Del Sur and I loved it. It was amazing. Alex: Yeah. Okay. I've stayed there twice for a month at a time. One was a WiFiTribe. Another one was another group, but, yeah, the second time we stayed right by San Juan Del Sur and the Malibu resorts up there, and it was wild. It was a great- Kathleen: It's a cool spot, and most Americans hear Nicaragua, and they're like, "Wait, what? Nicaragua?" But, it's amazing. Alex: Yeah. Have one of their $3 tacos and it will change your mind. Kathleen: Yes. Alex: One dollar beer, $3 tacos. It's, yeah, pretty great. Kathleen: It's pretty great. Well, this has been so much fun, Alex. Thank you for joining me. I have, again, head is bursting with Pinterest ideas. Alex: For sure. You Know What To Do Next... Kathleen: If you're listening and you enjoyed this episode, you learned something, as usual, I would really appreciate it if you would give the podcast as five star review on Apple Podcasts, and if you know somebody else who's doing kick-ass inbound marketing work, Tweet me at WorkMommyWork because they could be my next guest. Alex: Five stars, do it. Kathleen: Yes. Alex: Right there. Takes two seconds. Pick up your phone right now, I want you to do that. I'll walk you through it. Kathleen: I love it. Thank you, Alex. Alex: Thank you, too.

In episode 028, we cover three topics: Reddit, Pinterest and Spotify. Reddit is clearly making moves to “professionalize” their platform of 13 years with a fresh look at how they market themselves to advertisers. The community-based forum has received $300 million in funding of late and is touring the agency world touting their new ad targeting, reporting capabilities and adding new cost per click ad units. Reddit has also made some user experience changes to improve overall design of the platform and is tackling “brand safety” issues head on. We are intrigued. In fact, Reddit may be the next social platform to watch as their ability to reach topic-based audiences within subreddits is a trend across digital marketing. This audience is also not always found in the “traditional” social properties so perhaps less duplication. If you’re not dabbling in Reddit, if even simply for social listening reasons, now is the time to check them out. Pinterest, long known as the place you go to find interior design ideas and birthday party themes, is also repositioning themselves as what they call a “discovery engine.” Not a social media platform, they say. Although, we’ve heard Jack Dorsey (CEO of Twitter) say Twitter isn’t a social media platform either- so this just might be a massive trend to not compete with the likes of Facebook and Instagram. Oy vey! Meanwhile, Pinterest plans to go public this year and wants to be known for inspirational images that drive sales. With around 250 monthly active users, could Pinterest possibly compete against Google or Amazon? We shall see... Lastly, one of our favorite topics, podcasting. We share some arresting statistics about average listen time and the power of being “in someone’s head.” With Spotify acquiring Gimlet and Anchor, there is a clear move to expand beyond music and dominate the audio space. Podcast apps are still very fragmented on Android-based devices (unlike Apple podcasts for iOS). We predict Spotify will own this space in short order. All in all, podcasting is exploding and there is still much more to come. --- Get everything Social Currency Show: Find us here: SocialCurrencyShow.com Facebook Listen here: iTunes/Apple Podcasts Google Play Stitcher TuneIn Spotify Anchor Post love with this hashtag: #socialcurrencyshow Sign up for the Social Currency email here
