347 Pinterest & YouTube: Can they work together?
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. Here’s what we did and the results. Intro - Call to Action: Pinterest if the most under-rated social media platform out there. It’s commonly overlooked for Instagram or another platform that makes people feel good. But what we know here at Simple Pin Media is that once your strategy is dialed in on the organic or ads side, the snowball grows and grows for years to come making this sleepy search and discovery platform one of the most powerful tools in your business. Their Q2 results came in and Pinterest has grown to 468 million users and is gaining steam every single day. Which means there are more and more people searching for your products or content. Want to hand it off to professionals that know how to make that snowball grow? Hop on a call with our team to see if your business qualifies for management. We’re here to help you determine the best fit for service and help you stay one step ahead of the competition. Go to simplepinmedia.com/services. Learn more about our ads services.

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.
