    The Pinterest Algorithm Changed Again, and Here's What Actually Works Now

    Pinterest deserves more attention than Instagram reach or Google traffic fears because it has 640 million monthly users and over 80 billion searches a month, with 96% of top searches being non-branded, giving bloggers a strong chance to show up. We break down Pinterest’s recent announcements, including brands being able to promote creators’ pins (opt-in) and the ability to link an Amazon storefront for simplified affiliate tagging, while emphasizing a blog-first strategy for ad revenue and email list growth. We cover community chatter about traffic drops and why not to panic, and then we also explain what Pinterest is rewarding now. We share pacing guidance, using the same URL, video pins, collage pins, and practical scheduling options like Pinterest’s native tool, as well as Tailwind, and Buffer. WHAT WE GET INTO: → The Pinterest Presents 2026 news, decoded for bloggers (visual search + shopping engine, AI tools, Amazon affiliate tagging) → What the new algorithm (TransActV2) rewards: fresh pins over repins, save-worthy over click-worthy → Pin ideas + hooks that actually get clicked (and keyword/SEO basics) → How to make MULTIPLE pins for one blog post, lead magnet, or landing page → Why Pinterest is the billboard that feeds your blog AND your email list → LIVE: we build 5 pins from your blog post on air 👇 Are you on Pinterest for your blog — all in, barely, or not at all?

    Your old blog posts are a goldmine, but here's how to actually update them so they bring traffic

    Everyone's grinding to publish NEW blog posts while their biggest asset rots: the posts they already have. Most old posts didn't fail because they were old — they failed because they were thin, and in 2026 thin content is a death sentence (AI does thin better than you ever will). The good news: updating those posts is the highest-ROI move you can make. In this live coworking session we show you exactly how we take a post from thin to unskippable. WHAT WE GET INTO: → Why updating an old post beats writing a new one → Filling posts with experience + opinion — including the case FOR and AGAINST → Getting specific about who the reader is and their real intent → Building the "rabbit hole": internal links that pull readers deeper into your blog → Clean heading structure (one H1, H2s, H3s — and why you rarely need H4) → LIVE: we audit your old posts on air 👇 When did you last UPDATE an old post (not publish a new one)? Be honest.

    The only email lead magnets that will get people to stay and look forward to your emails every week

    You were told to "build an email list!" So you added a "Subscribe to my newsletter" box and got crickets. But after marketers ruined email for everyone, email isn't broken even though YOU get annoyed with your own inbox. But the reality is nobody wants to subscribe to a newsletter. They'll hand over their email for ONE thing: something specific, instantly useful, and worth their time. But getting them to stay and look forward to your emails? That's a whole other ball game. In this live coworking session, we break down the lead magnets that actually work in 2026 (hint: not another PDF guide, checklist, or printable), how to get people to sign up without becoming the creator who won't stop pushing their freebie, and how to get people engaged so they stay. So we'll show you how to turn your lead magnet into a journey that gives subscribers a quick win, builds a relationship, and makes them want to stay. We also break down how to structure the journey, keep the core information on your blog, link each email to relevant posts, and set up segments/tags and automated workflows (or manual updates for longer journeys). We also share promotion ideas (carousels, reels, Pinterest) and workshop examples from viewers in different niches. WHAT WE GET INTO: → Why "subscribe to my newsletter" fails, and what the lead magnet trade really is → The 3 lead magnets that work now: email mini-courses, challenges, and do-it-with-me journeys → Why a journey beats a static PDF every single time (they leave knowing YOU) → Where the sign-up lives: landing pages, embed forms, tasteful pop-ups → How to promote by DOING it, not selling it — plus Pinterest + the Instagram GRO auto-DM play → LIVE: we turn your freebie idea into a journey on air 👇 What does your sign-up say right now? Drop it; we'll fix it live.

    This is the only email course you will need and the bonus is it's all free (get the full deep dive)

    We're doing a free email course in one live, because your email list is the only audience you actually OWN: no algorithm, no gatekeeper, no pay-to-reach. The crazy part is almost nobody teaches bloggers how to do it well. This live “email deep dive” argues that an email list is the most valuable asset creators can build because social followers are “rented” and algorithms gate access, while email lets you reach people directly. The hosts address common objections that email feels spammy and outline three main struggles: not knowing what to send or how it drives traffic/income, inconsistency, and starting with an empty list. We recommend relationship-first lead magnets (mini email courses/challenges) over tired PDFs, using landing pages instead of embedded forms, and avoiding aggressive pop-ups. We also compare platforms (Flodesk, ConvertKit, Mailchimp, MailerLite), explain workflows vs one-off broadcasts, and cover subject lines, conversational writing, single CTAs, replies, segmenting by interest, list purging, and basic GDPR/spam compliance requirements Don't have a list? You'll know exactly how to start one by the end. WHAT WE GET INTO: → Why email beats every follower count (owned + algorithm-proof) → Choosing an email service provider (what actually matters for beginners) → The lead magnet that gets people to sign up + how to grow your list → Turning a blog post into an email + subject lines that get opens → How to write & structure emails people actually read (+ the welcome sequence) → Email best practices AND what NOT to do → Segmenting: giving people exactly what they want from you → Using email to drive traffic to your blog (especially for Q4) → LIVE: drop your freebie idea or a subject line and we'll fix it 👇 What's your email status? Drop it — no shame, we'll meet you there.

    Trends Bring Tourists. Here's What Builds a Real Audience.

    Everyone's chasing trends because we've all been told that's how you grow. But trending content brings you the worst audience there is: tourists. “Tourists” who show up briefly, don’t engage, and don’t convert into subscribers or customers, which leaves creators exhausted despite rising views or follower counts, so you have to start from zero every week. In this live coworking session, we show you the opposite: how to take your people on a JOURNEY so they actually stick around, get to know you, and trust you. Do this and you'll never have to chase a trend again. We recommend building a real business by taking people on a consistent content journey across blog, email, and social media so they feel like they know you, trust you, and move from stranger to reader to subscriber to customer and fan. We discuss using analytics to evaluate whether trends actually drive meaningful metrics, clarify the importance of a unique point of view and signature style, and emphasize brand foundations like clear pillars (not categories) through the Fix Your Brand Challenge. We also preview a future live deep dive on lead magnets. WHAT WE GET INTO: → Why trends bring fickle "tourist" audiences that never convert → The Fix Your Brand foundation: clarity, your Northstar, content pillars as journey "routes" → Journey content on every surface: challenges you do alongside them, email mini-courses, and a signature series for social → How showing the process (not just results) builds real parasocial trust → LIVE: we design your signature series on air 👇 Are you chasing trends because you don't know what else to post? Be honest. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Stop Chasing Trends 01:06 Tourists vs True Fans 02:51 Why Trends Don’t Convert 13:03 Niche Trends vs Platform Trends 14:37 The Tourist Problem Explained 18:11 Be the Fail Safe Choice 19:24 Brand Clarity and Content Pillars 22:22 Journey Content and Lead Magnets 26:21 Signature Series Deep Dive Plan 29:54 Fixing a Mixed Content Brand 35:40 Evergreen Content Seasonal Packaging 37:42 Evergreen Holiday Binge 39:13 Parasocial Journey Content 42:06 Consistency And Programming 45:31 Trend Crossover Ideas 49:04 Sewing Series Brainstorm 53:30 Faceless Content Tactics 56:25 Transformation Stakes Framework 01:01:12 Pinterest Affiliate Reality 01:10:25 Wrap Up Tourists To Residents 👇 JOIN THE FIX YOUR BRAND CHALLENGE: https://youtu.be/M8ZPlEzd_90 💼 ABOUT THE BRANDING FIX: We're two solo bloggers documenting how we rebuild and future-proof our content and brand. 🔔 New videos every Friday!

    We're sharing our exact Q4 calendar framework so you can plug in your niche + posts and grow

    Q4 makes most of a creator's yearly income, and it starts in about ten days. Most people wing it and miss it. But we won't, not this year. In this live coworking session we hand you the exact FRAMEWORK we used to build our whole Q4 calendar, and this is not a rigid template, it's a plug-and-play system you drop your own niche and products into. Then we show you the repurposing engine that fills all three months without burning you out: how we turn ONE blog post into 60 pieces of content. Bring your niche. WHAT WE GET INTO: → Why a framework beats a template (it flexes to any niche) → The 3 layers: money moments, content types, timing (what needs an October head start) → Plug YOUR niche in → The repurposing engine: 1 blog post → 60 pieces across the quarter → How to assemble it into an executable 3-month calendar → LIVE: drop your niche and we'll build your Q4 framework on air 👇 Open a doc and drop your niche, build yours with us. We also discuss not changing original post dates when updating, showing “last updated,” avoiding Google AdSense in favor of networks like Mediavine/Raptive (and their starter programs), and focusing on consistent habits and realistic growth.

    This is the only Instagram course you need and the bonus is it's all free (get the full deep dive)

    Instagram has changed and you need to change with it. It stopped being a place where your followers see your posts and became a place where strangers FIND them, and bloggers and content creators never adjusted. This is our full, free Instagram course deep dive: with six lesson modules, and everything you need to know to grow and make money. This Instagram course has two doors. Bloggers: if Instagram sends you no traffic, it's not that you're posting wrong but there's no path from the post to your site, and we build one live on screen. Instagram creators: if it stopped working, the reason is in Lesson 1, and it's not the algorithm being unfair. WHAT WE GET INTO: → LESSON 1: What changed (the interest graph, why follower count is nearly meaningless, why you should never delete a post) → LESSON 2: The 3 formats and the ONE job each has (Reels / Carousels / Single image / Stories) → LESSON 3: What each format actually needs (the build specs most accounts get wrong) → LESSON 4: Captions as writing (the first-line hook, the "tiny blog post," and searchable captions) → LESSON 5: DM automation with GRO, we are building LIVE on screen (comment → auto-DM → link) → LESSON 6: The full blogger loop — billboard → blog → email list 👇 Is Instagram growing for you, flat, or did it just stop working?

    The blogging personal curriculum that will replace all the courses and we're giving it you free

    People sell thousand-dollar blogging courses and five-figure coaching programs for information that's stale the second you buy it. So instead of buying one, we built ourselves a PERSONAL curriculum: a complete, free course to go from zero to a profitable blog, in order, with no gaps. The keyword is personal: a generic course dumps the same lessons on everyone; a personal curriculum meets you where you're actually stuck. In this live coworking session, we hand you the whole thing AND show you how to build your own personalized version: no course to buy at the end. We talk about why blogging is making a comeback as creators seek non-algorithmic, long-form connection and better monetization, and we explain why our own traffic dropped when we wrote primarily for Google by keyword chasing and stripping personal experience out of posts. We outline what’s changed: blog for depth using interlinked content clusters built from three pillars and 10 specific user questions each, write from lived experience or “learning in public,” and prioritize brand recognition and human-first search intent over faceless, search-only strategies. We warn against AI-written, AI-optimized, or AI-generated content, citing reports of Google de-indexing blogs, and urge deleting all AI posts and images. We cover practical setup and promotion: self-hosted WordPress with a simple theme and minimal plugins for performance, plus promotion via one social platform, Pinterest, long-form video or podcasting, and a newsletter built around journey-based mini-courses rather than freebies, and lots more. Plus we answer your questions live, replay crew: pop your thoughts and questions in the comment section. 👇 Where are you stuck right now?
