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

There has been a lot of discussion lately about Pinterest traffic trending downward and what this could mean. Some have talked about algorithm changes, others tech issues with the meta data, and then some are declaring Pinterest dead due to AI slop infiltrating. Along with this are every theory under the sun and what you should do about it. I get it. I stand with you in the frustration, but I want to ask if you’re falling into the trap and what you can do to get out off the hamster wheel and start making some solid decisions. If you’re looking to talk through some of these Pinterest marketing issues with someone, then I highly suggest booking a strategy call with our team.

This podcast was created in partnership with Pinterest. I am currently one of six educators in their Pinterest Educator program. They helped me gather information, resources, and tools to help bring you this accurate and update to date teaching on Pinterest collges. What are Pinterest collages you might ask? Well, previously I had recorded a podcast on this with a workaround our team had found using Pinterest’s sister app – Shuffles. Business owners were asking us about the relevancy as well as the workflow for linking their products. At the time, this seemed to be the only way. Now we can do this in Pinterest…This episode will give you the information you need to decide if the Collages Pin format fits into your own Pinterest strategy; whether you’re ready to try it, or just want to stay informed for the future."I’m going to be sharing some helpful links in today’s episode so make sure you scroll down to the description to read more after you’re done. Previous SPM podcast on ShufflesPinterest linkshttps://create.pinterest.com/product-features/how-to-create-collageshttps://help.pinterest.com/en/article/create-a-collagehttps://www.pinterest.com/collages/create-your-wish-list/ (example of a set of collages which have shoppable links)Elevate your creativity with collagesThe SPM test collage - https://www.pinterest.com/pin/352688214590917844/ —-------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?

To wrap up our story series I wanted to highlight those who make this company run. The woman who show up every day to manage accounts, manage teams, market the company, test out the theories, and continue to contribute their time and talents to make this agency run. I thought about how this would be received by you the listener. Would you care? Is it interesting? Are you curious? My first thought was…eh, not sure. My second thought was, but this is the story of how this company works, why this podcast exists, why we keep innovating on Pinterest marketing strategy. It’s the “why” and the “how” that most people never see. Frankly, this idea came to mind while I was falling asleep. I had been searching for someone to interview for our last story series podcast and this idea popped up. I started to recount all the people on my team, their years of experience, their stories, and the way in which they have all stayed here despite the ups and downs of the last 3 years or so. So yes, I could search around for someone to interview and their story would be amazing but why not tell the stories of the people who work so hard to bring you the best Pinterest marketing service and education?
