The Big Change for Creators {One Creators Review}

It’s been quite a wild ride for creators. With the google change last fall, algorithms changing, and people seeing less traffic to their websites, it’s been a tough year. It’s important to share good stories but it’s also important to acknowledge these tough spots so we can start to begin to think about the changes we can make going forward. Today I want to share with you a special friend I met recently and have her share her story with you. What she experienced and how she is going to refocus going forward. Intro - Call to Action: Pinterest is different than all the other platforms you use to market your business. If you have listened to the podcast or watched any of our videos you may have already heard me say that. But if you haven’t, Pinterest is different. People over there are cold meaning they don’t know you, they are interested in their own world, they don’t doom scroll and they are ready to buy or engage once they know you have something amazing. If you’re ready to dive into Pinterest marketing for your business, all of it or just part of it,  book a call with our team to figure out how we can serve you – whether it’s monthly management, a deep clean of your account, creating images or getting your Pinterest account started, we’re ready for you. simplepinemedia.com/services. If you’re interested in consults, you don’t need to book a call with us. Simply scroll down below in the app or here on YouTube and you can grab your time and pay for your consult all at once. —-------See full show notes for all episodes at Simple Pin Media and click on articles.Get our weekly Pinterest Made Simple newsletter delivered to your inbox every Wednesday by subscribing here.Looking to hire the best Pinterest marketing team?

Not your parents' accountant

I met a guy at a conference where we were a sponsor and his company was a sponsor. We got to talking about his business, centered on accounting and taxes for creators, and it hit me. This is not your parents' CPA. Nate Coughran talks with us today about what you need to look for when you hire a CPA and it can’t be just because your parents know a “guy”. Today’s episode is sponsored by Cookie Finance. You’ll hear more about Cookie Finance throughout this episode. At SPM we choose sponsors because we believe they have great tools for our audience. Accounting and tax services are essential for small businesses and choosing the right one can mean you sleep better at night and know that once you hit tax season you’re confident all the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed.

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.

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.—-------See full show notes for all episodes at Simple Pin Media and click on articles.Get our weekly Pinterest Made Simple newsletter delivered to your inbox every Wednesday by subscribing here.Looking to hire the best Pinterest marketing team?
