Today we're diving into the world of Pinterest as I bring back my friend, Kate Ahl, the quintessential Pinterest expert. In this episode, she updates us on all the changes we should be seeing on Pinterest in 2023. From the pandemic boom (when everyone and their mother started a food blog), to the recent CEO change and rising stock price, Kate shares her thoughts on how Pinterest is positioning itself within the social media landscape. In this episode, we talk about: The end of the Pinterest Creator Rewards Program and what that means for bloggers Why Pinterest is the library and Instagram is the bar What it means now that Pinterest is leaning into ecommerce Where the opportunities are for bloggers (and yes, they're still there!) Why it could take six to eight months to see traffic from Pinterest Why consistency is key to growth And so much more! If you want the most up-to-date information on the platform many of us rely on, but don't quite understand, definitely listen to this episode.

Looking for proven strategies for making money online? Today I have niche blogger and content marketer, Casey Botticello, on the podcast to share the ways he generates income. Casey and I do a deep dive into his niche blogging strategy. Niche blogging means creating blogs focused on specific topics that you can monetize through advertising, affiliate marketing, and digital products. As you'll hear, Casey monetizes his niche blogs in all of these ways. We also talk about Casey's digital product strategy where he sells Canva templates and ebooks. The beauty of selling digital products is that you can make 100% passive income. Another point Casey makes is that blogging is a long game. You will not get rich quick because it takes time to establish an audience and create valuable content. But once you do put in the work, the potential upside is significant. If you are looking for new ways to make money online in 2023, this is the episode for you!
