I failed to plan a YouTube video this week


Reader,

Do you ever have a plan and you completely forget an entire weeks piece of content? I was so planned out and meticulous with my end of year YouTube schedule and then I went and forgot an entire week.

Instead I'm rolling with it because I'm on Casino wifi and I'm almost sure the upload speed would be awful.

What is happening this week...

  1. I'm talking at Author Nation tomorrow. I'm showing authors exactly how to craft their Pinterest presence to show up in 2025 and sell more books.
  2. The 15 Minute Marketing Summit is happening now. Day 2 is live and I submitted a 10 minute talk on how to use AI to make the most of Pinterest when you just don't have time. Sign up to watch.

What You Might Have Missed

Other than that Jana & I had a really great chat with Danny from Tailwind last week. You can head over and watch it. There were some gems dropped about a study they have done and will be releasing soon about Pinterest.

New in the Shop

New ClickUp templates galore because I was invited to be part of ClickUp's first ever public template hub.

A few new templates include:

  • My Pinterest Manager VIP Month Template. You want to add a VIP month, week or day to your Pinterest Manager business? This template is everything I do to make an incredible client experience.
  • My Content Social Media Distribution Template is what I use to ensure all of my collabs, social media, emails, YouTube content and more gets published. There are a lot of moving pieces... never be without a plan and a system.
  • The Cold Pitching Tracker for pitching yourself to businesses for clients, pitching yourself for podcasts or getting in front of membership groups to be a guest expert. This tracker will help you to track your leads from the moment you find them to the moment you're promoting your guest feature. Lana uses this exact template to pitch me on podcasts and to memberships.

Grab a workshop. Wondering how to do affiliate marketing on Pinterest? I did a whole deep dive on it.

I listed my Keyword Bank for Pinterest for anyone who doesn't have time to do keyword research and wants to make the most of their strategy.

At the request of some of last weeks author viewers I listed the Pinterest Strategy Guide for Authors in the shop. It's a jumpstart for your strategy and includes some templates for Canva, keyword research, trends research, and more.

I'm currently working on the following strategy guides:

  • Artists
  • Travel Creators
  • Wedding Planners
  • Interior Designers


If you are in a niche you want added to my list let me know. I'm creating these as a jumpstart for various niches who want to know what a strategy for their niche would look like. They're adaptable to each persons business but not a perfect fit if you know what I mean. You'll still need to do some work but it gets you started.

That's it for now. That's a lot to be honest given that I don't have a YouTube video this week.

Chat soon,

Heather

Hey Reader, There's nothing like a whole lot of pressure on my shoulders that I usually kick into high gear and kick absolute 🍑 when it comes to productivity. That's where I am right now and I am running off of adrenaline and life. I just published a new YouTube video on how to make Pins for lead magnets. I didn't email you last week about the Predicts, Editorial Calendar & Trends video so guess what!? I have that too. In this video, I discuss how you can use all 3 tools to get more growth...

Hi Reader, It seems that we have access back to TikTok for the time being but I honestly don't know how long that is going to be for. The law did pass both chambers and get signed into law. Then SCOTUS upheld it so if at any point in time a new law doesn't get passed rescinding the old one or the app doesn't get sold it's still could go away. With that being said I made a video on exactly what I would do right now if I were you and I relied on TikTok for my business. The crucial lesson for...
