In this episode of the Systems & Workflow Magic Podcast, I'm joined by Pinterest and blogging expert Kara Duncan to break down how small business owners can use Pinterest trends to create evergreen blog content that supports their Black Friday strategy—and keeps working long after the sale ends.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of running a Black Friday sale or, worse, you’ve thrown one together the night before Thanksgiving, you are absolutely not alone. But what if this year looked a little different? What if you had a strategic plan in place that not only warmed up your audience but also sold your offer while you’re enjoying leftover pie?

Whether this is your first-ever sale or you're trying to streamline your fourth Q4 sprint, this conversation is packed with gold.

In this BRAND NEW solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why I took a three-month break from releasing new podcast episodes and what’s changing (and staying the same) as I move forward. I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes journey of how I’ve evolved into serving two specific groups of business owners: family photographers who want sustainable systems and marketing strategies, and small business owners who want smart, strategic launch support. You’ll also hear the story behind my new membership, the Family Photographer’s Marketing Society, and what you can expect from the podcast in the coming months, including a brand new Black Friday series starting next week.
