On this episode I talk with Kim Vij on how Pinterest can help educate its users.  How it can be used for professional teachers as well as for small businesses.

Kim Vij is a Pinterest Consultant, Speaker, Freelance Writer, Educator and Blogger at  The Educators’ Spin On It pinning for her 1.5 Million Followers on Pinterest.   She contributes to several educational websites including Melissa and Doug, Sylvan Learning, BonBon Break, Virtual Book Club for Kids and featured as Parents Magazine Top Pinterest Boards for Parents.

Today we talk with Alisa Meredith about generating leads with Pinterest.

Alisa is senior inbound marketer at Scalable Social Media and In-House Pinterest Fanatic at OverGo Studio - both HubSpot partner agencies.  When she's not pinning, she's creating content, managing social media, editing, auditing websites and lead generation channels, or creating marketing plans.  But mostly, she's pinning.

She started back in 1999 as a writer (creating downloadable ebooks before it was a "thing") and website developer, and rather serendipitously ended up in social media and inbound marketing in 2010.  She says the HubSpot content marketing methodology just made everything "click", and it's almost too easy to make it work with Pinterest. She doesn't like to be called an "expert" or "guru" in anything, but she sure does love Pinterest and what it can do for businesses!
