Wondering if you need strict branding on Pinterest pins? In this episode of Biz Beyond the Gram, I dive into how Pinterest’s search-driven platform rewards diversity, not uniformity. Learn when to use a branded aesthetic and when to experiment with different templates, fonts and colours — plus how to avoid repetitive “ad-looking” pins that get penalised.

Highlights

• Pinterest favours diverse and varied pin designs over uniform branding.
• Repetitive pin designs can negatively impact visibility on Pinterest.
• Branding your pins depends on how important brand consistency is to your business.
• Regularly reviewing pin analytics helps optimise content strategy.
• Pinterest allows creative freedom for those who prefer a less structured brand identity.
• Avoid pins that look like repetitive ads by mixing images, fonts, and templates.
• Social Search Club membership offers extensive resources and community support for social media growth.

It’s time to grow smarter — and build a business without Instagram.

Instagram isn’t the only way to grow — and in 2025, it’s far from the smartest. In this episode, I’m breaking down my four essential rules every online business owner needs to scale sustainably, without trending audio's or dancing for the algorithm.

We’re talking smart strategy, search marketing, social digital marketing, and the tools that free up your energy so you can actually run your business (not just post about it).

If you’re ready to build a business without Instagram, and want to grow your visibility, sales, and sanity using platforms like Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube and blogs - press play.

Highlights

• Have a clear plan focusing on where your customers are and what keywords they use.
• Content must be searchable to be scalable—trending content fades quickly.
• Conversion matters more than audience size; focus on turning followers into buyers.
• Automation and AI are essential tools for business survival and efficiency.
• Platforms like Pinterest and TikTok offer high-intent audiences ready to convert.
• Evergreen content provides long-term visibility and organic traffic.
• Use AI tools like ChatGPT, NoteGPT, the Tailwind app, and Repurpose.io to save time and scale.

Think leaving Instagram means starting over? Think again. Whether you're considering deleting Instagram or just want to make your Instagram content go further, this episode shares how to turn your existing posts into powerful assets across TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube and beyond.

If you're ready to build a business without Instagram and embrace social digital marketing in a smarter, more sustainable way — this one's for you. Tune in and learn how repurposing content can unlock more visibility with less burnout.

Tired of creating endless freebies on Canva that attract the wrong people? A member of my Social Search Club asked the question 'how can I grow an email list without a lead magnet?' and I HAD to dive into this.

In this episode I'm sharing five ways to grow an engaged, high-quality email list without relying on lead magnets. From VIP list invitations and waitlists to “soft” content upgrades, I’ll show you how to attract subscribers who actually want what you offer.

Think you need a big audience to monetise on Pinterest? Think again. In this episode of Biz Beyond the Gram, I break down how to actually make money using Pinterest - even if you're starting from scratch.

Unlike Instagram’s model, Pinterest thrives on social search marketing, Pinterest keywords and content relevance, not follower counts.

I share practical strategies for affiliate marketing, product sales, and list building that leverage Pinterest’s search-first algorithm to drive traffic to blogs, digital products, lead magnets and affiliate marketing.
