Why you should be using Pinterest for your business

May 31, 2022 00:00 - 20 minutes - 13.8 MB

People and your audience goes to Pinterest for a direct search, an answer, inspiration, and they are people ready to purchase or find their resource that will help the problem- unlike a lot of people on other social media platforms (not that they can’t look for you, but Pinterest is a place where you go to seriously look for something specific) which is great for your audience and being found organically. So start using it like a search engine- they are looking for what YOU have.  Support th...

May 03, 2022 17:00 - 13 minutes - 9.44 MB

How often do we shrink back because we’re unsure how it’ll be received, or that it’s already known, it’s been put in the world maybe it seems like it’s not important, but there’s someone who needs how YOU introduce it, how YOU show up, and how YOU teach. Do you look as each day as a precious contribution to your future or content with meandering aimlessly.  I know FAR too many women who think a little time for the...
