If I were starting Pinterest over in 2026


Hey Reader,

January always comes with this weird mix of pressure and possibility.

Everyone is telling you to “start fresh,” “go all in,” or “fix everything you didn’t do last year.” And honestly, most of that just creates noise.

So instead of doing that, I sat down and asked myself a much simpler question:

If a friend came to me today and said, “I want to use Pinterest in 2026, but I don’t want to overcomplicate it,” what would I actually tell them?

Not what I’d teach in a workshop.
Not what I’d put in a slide deck.
What I’d say over coffee.

That’s what this video is.

It’s a reset.
A clean slate.
A reminder that Pinterest still works when you focus on the right things and stop chasing everything else.

If you’re starting fresh this month, or restarting after a quiet season, this is a good place to begin.

Watch the masterclass

No pressure to “do it all.”
Just clarity on where to aim your energy next.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more, but for today, this is enough.

PS: A Note from Heather

This months theme is "starting fresh" and that is what you can expect from me this month.

I'm working on a brand new series for the YouTube channel where I teach Pinterest 101 with the goal of you learning how to DO Pinterest in videos that are 10 minutes.

I'm also working to update my Pin Bot as well as my Pinterest Strategy Guide. Both are going to be integral pieces of marketing education this year. One free, one is a one-time payment.

If you have a tutorial video you want me to make in regards to Pinterest please shoot me an email.


Happy New Year!

Hi Reader, Quick heads up: Pinterest Trends looks very different now. The entire interface was updated, and if you haven’t opened it recently, it can feel a little disorienting at first glance. So I recorded a full tutorial walking through: what’s actually new (and what isn’t), how the Trends Overview works now, how to read trends by outbound clicks, saves, and engagement, where to find related queries, products, and audience data, and how Search Trends still fits into your workflow.

Hey Reader, Pinterest just dropped their 2026 trend predictions — and I’ve got thoughts. I broke it all down for you in this week’s video:Pinterest Predicts 2026: What You Need to Know If you create content, sell products, or run a business… this is your roadmap to what is coming to the platform in 2026. Over 88% of their predictions come true so I would pay attention to this. More strategy coming soon. I don't know about you but I'm as burnt as that turkey Cousin Catherine brought to...

Hello Reader, You’ve probably heard that Pinterest can drive traffic, grow your list, and sell your products on autopilot. And maybe you’ve tried.You’ve pinned some content. Maybe even followed a few tutorials. But you’re still stuck in that weird in-between: Pinterest should be working… but it’s not. Here’s why:Pinterest isn’t just a place to “post and hope.” It’s a search engine.And search engines need strategy, structure, and consistency to work. You don’t need to figure that out on your...
