365 Pinterest for Dummies

Pinterest for Dummies. The one thing I hear from people is that they don’t “get” Pinterest. It doesn’t make sense to them so they don’t want to use it for their marketing. I totally get that. I said that about LinkedIn for years. Then one day I had someone explain it to me in a way that clicked, and I began my journey. My hope is that I can explain Pinterest in a way that makes it “click” for you too. We have our start series that I mention in the podcast - https://www.simplepinmedia.com/start/ —-------See full show notes for all episodes at Simple Pin Media and click on articles.Get our weekly Pinterest Made Simple newsletter delivered to your inbox every Wednesday by subscribing here.Looking to hire the best Pinterest marketing team?

It’s been a question for years, can you pin on Pinterest a short clip of a video that leads to YouTube. We’ve often said no but now we’re diving into an experiment we’ve done with our own YouTube content.

183 Why and When to Hire Pinterest Management

Are you struggling to know when to hire someone to manage your Pinterest account? In this episode I’m breaking down some of the top questions we get in our discovery calls to help you make the decision before booking a call. I once heard someone on a podcast say, I believe it was Dan Miller, that when you get a question more than 3 times you create a product. I took that concept here and thought, instead of a product, let’s just share the answers in a podcast. For the last six years I’ve been working as a service provider in the Pinterest management industry. I have learned countless lessons on how to work with people, when to work with people, and especially how to help people evaluate if it’s time to hire someone. At simple pin we are very picky about who we work with. We want to take in the whole picture of their business, how often they create content, images, business plans, goals, etc. This is not a place where you roll up and we take you. No way. I care too much about your business to think of it that way. All the Pinterest stars have to align for us to move forward in a contract. I’m giving you a sneak peek behind the scenes as to the top questions we get in our discovery calls and how we answer them. I hope this episode will help you determine why, when and who you should hire to manage your Pinterest account.
