In today's episode of Not A Pyramid Scheme Kaitlin and Katie go over Pinterest! It's a platform that they think most people have used casually, but it is incredible the reach you can achieve as a business without having any followers at all.  They talk about the different types of pins, how often to Pin, Kaitlin's favorite Pinterest hack (Tailwind), why you shouldn't hire a Pinterest VA, and so much more! 

After discussing the business parts of Pinterest Katie and Kaitlin dive into their own favorite parts about Pinterest such as wedding planning, house decor & floor plans, and much more!
