How a Real Person Uses Pinterest


Hi Reader,

Quite literally 2 weeks in a row I have forgotten to send you an email newsletter. It happens to be honest.

I just get busy and these kids going back to school allowed me to sprint in other areas of business I haven't focused on in a while.

Last week I published a video on how real people use Pinterest. I find researching how people actually use platforms, tools, how they consume information to be fascinating. This allows me to study what they're doing and figure out how to position my business to get them into my world.

This is how I got so good with Pinterest marketing so quickly when I started doing this business. I had used Pinterest every single day for the 6 years prior to starting my own business and ever marketing on Pinterest.

I understood how consumers used the platform and I could take that knowledge and position the content for them for myself and clients.

So I created a video explaining my thought process on this.

That means: Each board should serve a specific audience segment. They should be organized with intention. And every pin on the board should be relevant to the board’s purpose. Translation? Your boards could be...

Hello Reader, Pinterest just announced a major update: they’re rolling out AI-generated content labels across the platform.
