    Pinterest Quiz Ads

    Pinterest Quiz Ads

    Pinterest quiz ads are getting some buzz around the interwebs so we thought we’d give you the low down on what they are and who should be using them in their marketing. 
    Intro - Call to Action: 
    It seems people either know about Pinterest Ads and have decided to implement them in their marketing or they know nothing and have chosen to ignore them. Or maybe perhaps you’re super confused by Paid Pinterest marketing. We get that. Our team has been running ads for clients and teaching hundreds of students how to execute their paid strategy on Pinterest. If you’re ready to dive into Pinterest but don’t know if you should hire it out or learn it yourself, book a discovery call with Erin, our Pinteret Ads director and she can help you decide what the next right step would be for you. Note, this is not an ads strategy call. We have those too and if that’s the next right step we can make sure to get you set up. Go to simplepinmedia.com and click on Pinterest Ads to book a call. Or scroll down below in your podcast app. 
    If you’re interesting in Pinterest Ads Templates you can find them here in our shop.

    Stop trying to game the algorithm, do this instead

    Stop trying to game the algorithm, do this instead

    At a recent conference people explained to me how they make slight tweaks to their Pinterest images with the goal of making it “fresh”. Switching the font, moving the image, changing up a line. I gave them the advice I’m sharing in this episode instead. Stop playing the algorithm and really serve the pinner who want to connect with your content. Then you’ll end up serving both.

Practical, strategic, and understands small business

I've been listening to this podcast since nearly the beginning. I love how knowledgeable the host Kate is about Pinterest but she never makes you feel like an idiot for not understanding anything. She is honest when she isn't sure whether a change at Pinterest is helpful, gives you the information you need to decide whether to devote time to a specific feature, and gently kicks you into paying attention to your account. I particularly like the fact that the advice is never about just gimmicks and tactics, but always about building a gradually growing audience that will actually help your business in the long term. I'm about to put a lot of work into my own business's account and will be using lots of the advice from this podcast, and the useful pdfs and blog posts on the website, to move everything forward strategically rather than the haphazard way I might have done it otherwise. Advice much appreciated!

One of the best podcast about Pinterest out there!

This podcast from Simple Pin Media is just great! Full of insights with short and straight to the point episodes. I feel is super interesting to not just have a website with all this information but to also be able to put your headphones on and go for a walk while you listen to Kate and realising that you are actually learning things from Pinterest while listening. Every chapter is filled with useful, up to date and realistic information on what’s happening on Pinterest but also on how you can implement things yourself in your own accounts which is so, so valuable. The interviews are also extraordinary when you can learn from other’s people experiences, situations and ups & downs with their accounts. A podcast full of ideas and positive energy. All in all, one of the best podcast I’ve listened about Pinterest! Thank you!
