In today's episode, I interview Amy Griffin, known as the Pinterest queen, about her journey into Pinterest marketing and the power of the platform as a visual search engine. We discuss the importance of business accounts, effective content strategies, and the secrets to successful Pinterest marketing. Amy shares insights on creating engaging pins, the user experience on Pinterest, and the significance of repurposing content. The conversation concludes with inspiring client success stories and the importance of perseverance in the entrepreneurial journey.

takeaways

• Amy's journey into Pinterest marketing began after losing her job.
• Pinterest is a visual search engine, not just a DIY platform.
• Pins can drive traffic for years, unlike other social media posts.
• Business accounts on Pinterest are crucial for marketing success.
• Consistency in pinning is key to leveraging the algorithm.
• Engagement on Pinterest is not about followers but about action.
• Creating engaging pins involves clear calls to action and branding.
• User experience on Pinterest focuses on providing value, not personal branding.
• Repurposing content can maximize reach and effectiveness on Pinterest.
• Perseverance is essential for success in any entrepreneurial journey.
