So much has happened in 2024 with the massive Google Shift, AI pulling content from creators and so much more. Jillian Leslie and I are chatting on her podcast about Pinterest, blogging, and our current online economy. It was such a good episode that I’ve decided to share it here with you.

Collages have been a feature on Pinterest for a while but it’s primarily been for users, until now. In the latest Pinterest Presents they talked about how collages can be leveraged for product sales. In this podcast I’ll dive into our experience with collages and where we think they will go in the future. Also a backdoor into creating them and linking your products. 

If you’re an e-commerce brand that is struggling to figure out how to get a plan for your Pinterest marketing, our team can help. Two options – you can hire our management team to take over all aspects of pinning, creating images, etc. We can also run your ads. OR if you’re the type that needs to wrap your brain around a plan then you can hire us for a one-hour eCommerce consult call.

Ads make me a little nervous sometimes. I have a strong fear I’m going to set it up wrong. But while watching Pinterest presents I got super excited about their new AI Pinterest Ad tool – Performance Plus. Here are my thoughts, review, and what I learned from just setting up an ad.

As you’ll hear in this episode one of our recommendations is if you dive into Performance Plus ads you should have someone to consult while you run ads. Book your consult call with our Pinterest Ads team to get started.

It’s been quite a wild ride for creators. With the google change last fall, algorithms changing, and people seeing less traffic to their websites, it’s been a tough year. It’s important to share good stories but it’s also important to acknowledge these tough spots so we can start to begin to think about the changes we can make going forward. Today I want to share with you a special friend I met recently and have her share her story with you. What she experienced and how she is going to refocus going forward. 

Intro - Call to Action: 

Pinterest is different than all the other platforms you use to market your business. If you have listened to the podcast or watched any of our videos you may have already heard me say that. 

But if you haven’t, Pinterest is different. People over there are cold meaning they don’t know you, they are interested in their own world, they don’t doom scroll and they are ready to buy or engage once they know you have something amazing. 

If you’re ready to dive into Pinterest marketing for your business, all of it or just part of it,  book a call with our team to figure out how we can serve you – whether it’s monthly management, a deep clean of your account, creating images or getting your Pinterest account started, we’re ready for you. simplepinemedia.com/services. 

If you’re interested in consults, you don’t need to book a call with us. Simply scroll down below in the app or here on YouTube and you can grab your time and pay for your consult all at once.
