How to Use Pinterest to Grow Your Business on Autopilot
Wanna know the number one secret we use to drive traffic to our website every single day? It's none other than Pinterest! 📌
Today, we're diving into the world of Pinterest, (what it is, how to get started, and why it should be your go-to marketing tool) and let me tell you, it's a game-changer for your business. Pinterest isn't just about recipes and decor; it's a traffic-driving powerhouse with 463 million users. 🤯
Why Pinterest, you ask? Well, it's not your average social media platform; it's a search engine buzzing with people looking for content every single day. Your job is to make sure they find you! So, we’re guiding you through a straightforward approach that can elevate your business. The best part? A winning Pinterest strategy takes less than 2 hours a month.
Here's what we're tackling in this episode:
📌 Create a Pinterest Business Profile: You can either convert your existing account or start fresh. Claim your website and social media handles, and you're good to go!
📌 Optimize Your Profile: Craft a compelling title and description with keywords describing who you help, how you help, where to find you, and what action they should take.
📌 Set Up Your Boards: Create 10-15 boards covering topics related to your content, and infuse keywords into their titles and descriptions.
📌 Design Templates: Using Canva, create 5-7 Pinterest templates that match your branding for a cohesive look.
📌 Start Pinning: Share your content. Don't sweat it if it's not perfect right away; the key here is to take action.
📌Static Pins vs. Idea Pins: Learn the difference, and why a mix of both is the sweet spot.
Feeling overwhelmed? No worries! If you'd rather not tackle Pinterest alone, we're here to help. Just send us a DM with “I'm ready to pin” over on Instagram at @amandarushholmes, and we'll schedule a 🆓 Pinterest audit for your account. Yep, you heard that right… we've got you covered with our done-for-you Pinterest strategy! Happy pinning!

Birthday Week: 30 Lessons I've Learned in my 30's
Are you team birthday enthusiast or more of a low-key celebrator? 🎂🎈 Well, I'm all about the cake, balloons, and fresh starts, so you can guess where I stand! Yes, it's my birthday week, and I'm turning 31! 🎉 But age is just a number, right?
To celebrate, I'm sharing 30 life lessons I've learned as a brand-new 31-year-old. This list is here to inspire you, nudging you to reflect on just how much you've experienced and ALL the wisdom you've gained along the way!
Here's a sneak peek at a few lessons:
⭐ You control your happiness: It's a choice, not a destination.
⭐ Hard times are just seasons: There's light at the end of every tunnel.
⭐ Size doesn't define you: It's how you feel that truly matters.
⭐ Parenting is a precious gift: Cherish it, even on the tough days.
⭐ Choose your mentors wisely: Not everyone's advice fits your unique path.
⭐ Take time to have fun: Life's too short to be serious all the time.
⭐ Invest in yourself: Shift from fear of failure to best-case scenario and the benefits of taking that leap of faith.
Life's an adventure, full of twists and turns. It’s a chance to learn, grow, and embrace the journey. So, cheers to another year of wisdom, sharing laughs, and creating unforgettable memories. 🥳
Birthday week is just getting started! Stay tuned to your inbox for daily surprises as we celebrate together ALL WEEK LONG! 💌
