    Telling Your Brand Story to Get Sales

    Pinterest brings a lot of traffic to websites, but if we don’t have our conversion funnels set up or a pathway for them to connect with us, we’re missing out on valuable connections. I’m exploring different ways that website owners can increase conversions on their Pinterest traffic by interviewing experts who specialize in a diverse range of conversion optimization. Mariana Heninger does this through video and has an Emmy as well.

While growing your reach can feel challenging at times, understanding the algorithm makes a big difference.

    Are AI Images Bad for Pinterest?

    I’ve been asking about AI images on Pinterest for that last 6 months. I’ve watched some videos, seen people’s take on it, and even interviewed some people who are leveraging them for their business. But after spending a few hours the other evening diving into what is being taught regarding making money on Pinterest using AI I figured it was time for me to tackle the subject. 

    If you would like to work with the Simple Pin team in 2025 on your Pinterest marketing, whether it’s images, management, or paid ads, we would love to support you. Simply click on the link in the show notes to book a call with us and we can help you determine the next best step.
