    How Virtual Summits Can Grow Your Email List with Kelly Morrison If growing your email list feels harder than ever, this episode is for you. In this week's episode of Pinterest Coffee Chats, I'm joined by Kelly Morrison, virtual assistant, summit strategist, and host of the Product Seller Summit. We dive into why virtual summits are making a comeback, how they can help you reach new audiences, and why they may be one of the most overlooked ways to grow your email list with qualified leads. Kelly shares her experience hosting her own summit, what she learned from adding over 1,200 new subscribers to her email list, and why email marketing continues to outperform social media for many business owners. Whether you're a coach, course creator, service provider, product seller, or podcast host, this conversation will help you think differently about visibility, audience growth, and creating long-term marketing assets that continue working long after the event is over.

It's the audience, relationships, and email subscribers you continue nurturing long after the summit ends.-If you choose to participate in or host a summit, focus on attracting the right people rather than simply growing your list with more people. Quality leads will always outperform vanity metrics. Resources Mentioned:Kelly Morrison is the founder of The Virtual Peacock and the host of The Product Seller Summit.

    Season 2: Episode 49: Breaking Down What Pinterest Just Revealed About the Home Feed

    Pinterest recently released an engineering blog explaining more about how the Home Feed actually works… and honestly? It explains SO much. In this episode, I’m breaking down what Pinterest revealed in a way that actually makes sense for business owners and content creators without all the overly technical language. Because Pinterest is not randomly showing content. It’s constantly learning from user behavior, balancing different engagement signals, and trying to create a better overall experience for users. Which means understanding how Pinterest thinks about content can completely change how you approach your strategy.   If you’ve ever wondered: why some pins take off later why saves matter why consistency matters more than posting nonstop or why Pinterest feels different than Instagram This episode will help connect the dots.   ☕ In This Episode: What Pinterest recently revealed about the Home Feed algorithm Why Pinterest is more intentional than most people realize How Pinterest balances clicks, saves, engagement, and user behavior Why not every pin has the same “job” How Pinterest uses a mix of content types and topics in the feed Why consistency matters more than posting volume What this means for your Pinterest strategy moving forward How to create content Pinterest can better understand and distribute   If Pinterest is on your list for 2026 and you want clarity on where to start, explore my Pinterest Strategy Call, Done-With-You Pinterest Support, or Done-For-You Pinterest Management below:  → Book a Pinterest Strategy Call  → Done-With-You Pinterest Support  → Done-For-You Pinterest Support  → Free Guide: How to Turn Pinterest Into a Money-Making Machine  → Follow me on Instagram  → Q4 Pinterest Checklist Freebie

    Season 2: Episode 48: How to Use Pinterest to Grow Your Substack

    Trying to grow your Substack but not sure how to actually get more eyes on your writing? You’re not alone. One of the biggest challenges with Substack (or any long-form content platform) isn’t creating the content it’s getting people to find it. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to use Pinterest as a traffic source to grow your Substack without needing to post more on Instagram or constantly create new content. Pinterest works as a search engine, meaning your content can show up for people who are already looking for what you’re writing about. When you pair that with Substack, you create a simple system where Pinterest brings in new readers and Substack keeps them connected to your content.   In This Episode: Why Pinterest + Substack is a powerful combination for growth What your Pinterest pins should actually say (keywords vs aesthetic) Where to link your pins for the best results A simple weekly workflow to stay consistent without burnout You don’t need to be on every platform you need one platform that brings people in (Pinterest) and one that keeps them in your world (Substack).   If Pinterest is on your list for 2026 and you want clarity on where to start, explore my Pinterest Strategy Call, Done-With-You Pinterest Support, or Done-For-You Pinterest Management below:  → Book a Pinterest Strategy Call  → Done-With-You Pinterest Support  → Done-For-You Pinterest Support  → Free Guide: How to Turn Pinterest Into a Money-Making Machine  → Follow me on Instagram  → Q4 Pinterest Checklist Freebie
