In this episode, Laura Rike pulls back the curtain on a live Pinterest account audit for mindset mentor and coach Amanda Nowak, the soul behind Element Eight. If you’re a coach, healer, or creative entrepreneur using Pinterest for visibility, this session is your goldmine. Laura walks Amanda through a strategic transformation—from vague profile naming to keyword-rich optimization, from pinning inspirational quotes to curating a purposeful funnel that actually converts.

Using an all-new library analogy, Laura explains how to organize your Pinterest presence from the ground up—your profile is the library, your boards are the sections, and your pins are the books. Amanda learns how to use Pinterest's own data and incognito search tricks to align her brand with the platform’s algorithm and her audience’s late-night search behavior.

From rethinking board titles to embedding opt-ins directly within blog posts, Laura shows how coaches can use Pinterest not just for inspiration, but for sustainable lead generation—without needing to post 24/7 or design 500 pins a day.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why your Pinterest profile display name matters more than your handle—and what keywords to include.

  • How to use incognito search to uncover what Pinterest really thinks your boards are about.

  • The three-part funnel strategy for Pinterest content: Awareness, Consideration, and Purchase.

  • Laura’s “library system” analogy for building a search-optimized profile, board structure, and pin strategy.The myth about third-party Pinterest schedulers and why consistency > quantity.

  • How to embed opt-ins directly into blog posts to increase conversions from cold traffic.
