Today I am interviewing Caileigh Dennis from @thedenniscrew on Instagram. Caileigh is a stay at home mom to a 2.5 year old and another one arriving in January! She was in the classroom for 4 years before having her first kiddo and she's found a huge passion in graphic design while staying home with my girl. She has always had a passion for designing, but it wasn't until recently she decided she wanted to share her passion and offer her services to others. She had no idea that her services would impact so many people!

We are talking all things branding as a teacher seller and why having a cohesive brand can be so important.

You can find Caileigh multiple platforms

Pinterest can be a powerful tool for Teacher Sellers when used appropriately and with the right strategy behind it. It is a huge driver of sales, but it is a long term game. In this episode I am speaking with Emilee Vales and we get into all the hard questions about Pinterest and how it can actually be used effectively.

Emilee is a former teacher turned Pinterest Marketing and Ads Strategist, Emilee thrives off of diving into her clients data and analytics to create personalized strategies that will ultimately turn their traffic into profit! When she's not obsessing over how she can take her clients further with their marketing strategies, or educating her students on how to take their business to the next level with Pinterest, she's chasing around two sweet little girls or spending time with her husband. After feeling called to be at home with her kids and leaving the teaching world, she can finally say she's living the work at home mom life that she thought was only in her dreams.

Emilee has been a huge part of Thriving Teacher Academy and does monthly lives in our private Facebook group and helps us with leveling up our Pinterest Game. I have opened the course for the next 24 hours with a huge discount since Emilee was our guest today. Just use code EMILEESENTME at checkout to sneak your way into Thriving Teacher Academy.
