    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

    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.

    Pinterest Q4 Investor Report

    Pinterest released their 2023 Q4 earnings report and it’s good news. Today I’ll break down the nitty gritty of what you need to know and not know for your marketing. And why this all means good news for the strength and longevity of the platform. 

    The Content Entrepreneur Research is out: Books are among the top 3 most profitable and most utilized tactics to monetize content. Having a book can help you land the speaking gig of your dreams,  spark a new funnel of prospective clients,  or take what you already have and create a digital product. But honestly, the book process can be daunting. 

    At a conference last year I came across Lulu. I had no idea who they were and struck up a conversation with one of their team members. They had examples of how content creators had taken their expertise and created books, journals, planners, and more. I instantly knew we had to turn our Simple Pin Planner into a physical copy. 

    Whether you already have content prepared or you’re starting from scratch, either way, getting your expertise into a printed book with Lulu has never been easier and more profitable. Their e-commerce plugins make it easy for you to publish your book and sell it directly to your fans from your own site, while they handle all of the printing and shipping on the back end. We use the Shopify integration and it’s slick! You keep 100% creative control, 100% of your customer data, and 100% of your profits. Create a free account today at Lulu.com to get started

    Pinterest recently announced their financial results for Q4 of 2023 and held their Quarterly Earnings Call to discuss the state of the company. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights.
