Simple Pin Podcast: Simple ways to boost your business using Pinterest

In a recent conversation with one of my Pinterest educator friends we discussed some hurdles that marketers might have regarding using Pinterest. Namely, how boards work on Pinterest. For me, this was a lightbulb moment. I hadn’t really thought about how boards worked on Pinterest. I’ve always just know. For the first I empathized with the concept being one that would cause some marketers to be confused. In order to help overcome any misunderstandings people might have about boards, I wanted to teach more about the history, the concept, and how this can help marketers reach more people on Pinterest.  I thought it would be best to partner with Pinterest and pull together definitions, resources, and workflows for how to be utilize boards for Pinterest marketing. Important links mentioned:Video from Ben SilbermannPinterest Educator ProgramProduct tagging on PinterestUnderstanding Sections on Pinterest—-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:🗒️To get full show notes, visit Simple Pin Media and click on articles. 🗞️Make sure you grab our newsletter – Pinterest Made Simple📌 Looking to hire the best Pinterest marketing team?

One blogger recorded a YouTube video about what was working for her on Pinterest. I watched it and noticed one thing right away – she got curious about Pinterest marketing and how it worked for her. Just her data, time, and vision for her content drove her actions. And for me, this hit different. I wanted to interview her about what was working and not working. Meghan HernandezThe video on YouTube—-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:🗒️To get full show notes, visit Simple Pin Media and click on articles. 🗞️Make sure you grab our newsletter – Pinterest Made Simple📌 Looking to hire the best Pinterest marketing team?
