You don't need to be

0+23 - 3+03
ten steps ahead of your idel client, even if we're two steps ahead of them.

3+07 - 4+33
That's still two steps more than where they're at.

4+33 - 6+13
And you can help them make those two steps.

6+16 - 9+02
So even if, yeah, it's my first course, but hey, it can help people.

9+04 - 10+24
And even then, like, when, like my students in there

10+24 - 12+29
because it's like a small group at the moment when they like those things,

12+36 - 15+12

52+19 - 54+04
Today, me and Tammi talk all about

54+04 - 56+18
how to take the hustle out of marketing using Pinterest.

56+18 - 59+18
I know showing up or feeling the pressure to show up on Instagram or TikTok.

59+18 - 61+17
20 47 can become a little bit exhausting.

61+17 - 63+34
So Pinterest is a great solution for those of us

63+34 - 67+14
who want to market to our ideal customers but don't want to be on social media.

67+15 - 68+07
24, seven.

68+07 - 70+19
So listen to this episode to learn about marketing strategies,

70+19 - 73+02
we can apply to our business with ease so that we're creating content

73+02 - 75+09
that works for us even when we're not online.

75+17 - 77+03
I hope you all enjoy this insightful conversation.

77+25 - 77+38
All right.

77+38 - 80+15
Thank you for joining us here on this Solopreneur Hustle podcast today.

80+15 - 81+25
To me, it is just so nice to have you here.

81+35 - 82+37
Thank you so much for having me.

82+37 - 84+04
I'm really, really excited. Yeah.

84+04 - 86+03
So if you could just start out by telling us a little bit

86+03 - 88+10
about yourself and your background and just a little bit about what you do.

88+26 - 89+00
Okay.

89+00 - 92+02
And my story is kind of funny, but funny how actually got into it.

92+02 - 94+18
So I went to uni to study nutrition

95+02 - 95+15
and after I

95+15 - 97+26
graduated, there was actually like no jobs in nutrition whatsoever.

97+36 - 100+07
And so I kind of started like a little blog on the side

100+07 - 102+21
just as like a hobby while I was like freelance writing nutritionist.

102+30 - 104+09
And then everyone, like, I was researching okay,

104+10 - 105+10
how can I get more traffic to my blog?

105+10 - 106+07
And Pinterest kept coming up.

106+07 - 107+17
I was like, it doesn't make sense.

107+17 - 108+38
Like, Oh, we're going to use this to help my blog.

109+08 - 111+10
And so I done like a lot of like studying and like research.

111+10 - 113+37
And then I finally figured out how it can actually be a useful tool for traffic.

114+06 - 116+15
And so I ended up growing my website traffic

116+15 - 117+27
and started getting email sign ups.

117+27 - 119+26
And then Fast-Forward to, I think 20, 20,

119+31 - 121+22
I was working a nine to five a call center, which I hated.

121+31 - 124+00
I literally used listen to podcasts with 1:00 in

124+19 - 125+35
because I just I didn't like it.

125+35 - 127+28
And then I ended up getting fired from there, like

127+29 - 129+37
right as the pandemic hit, they started to let a lot of people go.

130+05 - 131+28
And so I was like, well, I don't know what

131+28 - 133+33
what can I actually do that I would enjoy and what do I know how to do?

133+34 - 135+02
And I was like, Well, you has deep interest.

135+02 - 136+01
Why don't you just help people with that?

136+01 - 137+17
And so I started reaching out to like entrepreneurs.

137+17 - 139+23
And like I said, I listen to a lot of podcasts I shouldn't have been doing.

140+15 - 141+23
And yeah, that was people who needed help.

141+23 - 143+06
And so it just kind of snowballed from that.

143+23 - 144+15
Oh, my gosh. You know what?

144+15 - 146+26
I love when we end up in entrepreneurship because we're pushed there.

146+26 - 148+13
But I think that's where you're supposed to end up anyways.

148+16 - 149+29
Yeah, it was another entrepreneur that I interviewed,

149+29 - 152+15
one of the first interviews I did here on the podcast, and she her

152+15 - 154+31
name's Nashieqa and she was saying how getting fired from her job

154+31 - 156+14
was the best thing that ever happened to her because

157+07 - 158+28
she always knew she wanted to be an entrepreneur,

158+28 - 161+12
but it just really took that push to say, All right, yeah, with us to do.

161+19 - 163+35
And I can totally relate to you how you're working the nine to five.

163+35 - 164+20
You needed it.

164+20 - 167+18
I'm supposed to know and know, like, how you felt working that nine to five.

167+18 - 168+26
What about it? You didn't like it.

168+26 - 171+01
Why? Starting a business was kind of more appealing to you.

171+10 - 171+25
Yeah,

172+10 - 173+20
this sounds so bad, but

173+20 - 175+10
I literally used to cry in the talk

175+39 - 177+16
like it's a joke with me and my sister.

177+16 - 180+05
Now, there was this one time I literally just slid down the shallow cry.

180+26 - 182+34
I just it, you know, it was just awful because it was a call center

182+34 - 184+09
because it wasn't anything related to study.

184+10 - 186+21
And the boss would make fun of us because a lot of us were like

186+27 - 188+01
young in our early twenties at the time.

188+18 - 189+23
I think I was like 22.

189+23 - 191+16
And it was like all the people who were like around 21 22 as well.

191+24 - 193+31
And he's like, haha, you guys, you went to union look, you ended up working here.

193+31 - 195+32
So he was horrible. Really toxic.

195+32 - 198+11
And it was just a horrible, horrible work environment.

198+12 - 198+24
I was.

199+20 - 201+01
It was really like fun in inspiring.

201+01 - 202+04
You literally felt like the life

202+04 - 204+28
was being sucked out of you, like it was just meaningless.

204+28 - 206+09
And the reason why, like

206+09 - 208+03
the day I got fired because they done it in such a sly

208+07 - 209+27
way the way they like pulled me out to the side

209+27 - 211+25
and then kind of just got rid of me and I had a really good friend there.

211+32 - 214+15
We were kind of like our work buddies, if that makes sense.

214+15 - 216+16
And then one day she was like, I told her they fired me.

216+16 - 218+29
She's like, just like, now, who's my going to talk to right now?

219+11 - 220+22
Let's see what she was like. Aren't you upset?

220+22 - 221+00
Nope.

221+00 - 222+38
Like, I don't know what I'm going to do, but as long as it's not that, I'm

222+38 - 223+32
sure I will be fine.

223+32 - 225+10
And I ended up being fine.

225+10 - 227+36
And honestly, that's one of the things I love the most about being able

227+36 - 230+33
to have like my own little online business is the fact that I work with other women

230+33 - 233+18
who also have, like, goals and a vision beyond just a nine to five and being able

233+18 - 236+00
to help them get their brand up online in front of their Idol audience.

236+00 - 237+14
Just it makes it so worth it.

237+14 - 238+01
Oh, my gosh.

238+01 - 241+00
And I, too, like even just feeling your energy when we're talking.

241+04 - 243+13
It really is just something about working with we're

243+13 - 245+35
connecting with other women in business who have a vision, who have big dreams.

245+35 - 247+39
I mean, it's just on a day to day basis, so much more inspiring

247+39 - 250+34
than being tied to a cubicle and on the phone.

250+36 - 253+03
I mean, it's just it really shows our creativity

253+03 - 255+23
and just the life out of us because I mean, just thinking back to

255+23 - 256+35
I've never worked a traditional nine to five

256+35 - 258+32
because I jumped into entrepreneurship right out of college,

258+32 - 260+34
because you were smart that I'd worked an internship

260+34 - 262+34
for like two years when I was in college.

262+34 - 264+32
And that gave me a glimpse at that nine to five life.

264+32 - 265+09
And I knew that

265+36 - 266+20
I couldn't do it.

266+20 - 267+00
I couldn't do it.

267+00 - 270+11
So I just remember, like at my desk listening to podcasts, like you're saying,

270+11 - 272+20
thinking about all the other things I could be doing besides being at that job

272+30 - 275+03
and just sharing that just reminds me it was kind of

275+03 - 276+36
like nostalgic, taking me back right at that.

276+39 - 278+19
We literally yeah,

278+19 - 280+04
we weren't even allowed a proper lunch break,

280+04 - 282+17
and now I literally have a planner here, have my desk or my schedule out

282+18 - 284+24
an hour lunch break, and it's like, Okay, well, this like you appreciate it

284+24 - 287+38
so much more now that you know what it's like to not have that for sure.

288+14 - 288+24
Right.

288+24 - 289+31
So I'm curious as to what

289+31 - 292+16
some of the challenges are that you help your client overcome.

292+16 - 294+22
So I know that you specialize in Pinterest and helping

294+29 - 296+21
entrepreneurs grow their businesses by way of Pinterest.

296+21 - 297+18
And so can you just share

297+18 - 299+14
some of the things you help your clients with, some of the challenges

299+14 - 302+15
you help them overcome, and why Pinterest is perhaps the perfect solution

302+15 - 304+10
to some of these challenges, that solopreneurs experience?

304+19 - 304+39
Yeah.

304+39 - 307+30
And so when it comes to Pinterest, I was laughing earlier because people

307+30 - 310+04
think it's like food and like nail art and like planning your dream wedding,

310+18 - 312+11
but it works as like a search engine.

312+11 - 314+27
And so it's kind of like Google where you use keywords.

314+34 - 315+27
And so a lot of like my clients

315+27 - 317+29
that come to me, they want to get me website traffic and they want to get more

317+29 - 319+26
email signups and book clients down the line

319+26 - 321+29
because I typically work like coaching and online service providers.

321+38 - 323+39
But the problem they're having is the stuff that posting like

324+00 - 327+02
on Instagram and stuff doesn't necessarily result in people coming to their website

327+02 - 328+31
and signing up for like their freebie and entering their sales funnel.

328+37 - 331+16
And so what I do is I take the content that they create on their websites

331+16 - 333+37
or blogs, podcast episodes, and then I create graphics for them

333+37 - 335+26
and I teach them how to create graphics as well.

335+34 - 337+19
And then we repurpose that one to Pinterest.

337+23 - 339+22
And then because Pinterest works as a search engine, that Idol audience,

339+22 - 341+09
for example, like comes of my clients was a web designer.

341+24 - 344+05
And so when we create the pins and those graphics

344+05 - 346+20
and put them on Pinterest, people who are searching for like web design or

346+37 - 349+21
website templates or WordPress tips, they then see her pins

349+21 - 351+29
and then they can click on those pins and they get taken to a website

351+29 - 353+33
and then they can find it's like a freebie shoebox, a free guide

353+33 - 355+35
for something I can't quite remember, but then people and able to opt in.

356+00 - 356+19
And the best part is

356+19 - 359+09
you don't actually technically have to post and show up on Instagram every day.

359+10 - 362+03
Sometimes I don't even want to this little girl, I support everything.

362+05 - 363+38
I can't be on there. 20 47. I just kinda

365+10 - 366+07
I feel like sometimes the

366+07 - 369+12
algorithm plays up on Instagram like it's like I show up every day

369+12 - 371+12
why are my stories only getting seven views like that?

371+12 - 372+24
And sometimes it's just too much?

372+30 - 373+14
Whereas with Pinterest,

373+14 - 376+06
because it works as a search engine, the good thing is it builds up over time.

376+07 - 377+36
So one of my clients hasn't posted, I think

378+21 - 379+18
since 20, 20.

379+18 - 380+02
It's been a couple of years

380+02 - 382+05
since she's posted on Instagram, but she still gets traffic to a website

382+09 - 383+30
just to have people opting in for her free training

383+35 - 384+33
because we've leveraged Pinterest.

384+33 - 386+09
Yeah. Wow. Wow. And you know what?

386+11 - 388+33
That whole model of building up content so that it works

388+33 - 391+22
more in the future for years and years to come kind of aligns with everything

391+22 - 391+39
we're about here

391+39 - 394+21
at the Solopreneur Hustle, earning more while working less like work.

394+21 - 396+32
Can we how can we put in work now so that in the future

396+32 - 398+12
we don't have to work as hard, you know, like

398+31 - 400+07
what hours can I put in for my business?

400+08 - 402+11
Today so that I don't have to be hustling forever, you know, like

402+28 - 404+29
on Instagram stories every single day, day in and day out that can get

405+13 - 405+32
tiresome.

405+32 - 406+22
And that leads to

406+22 - 409+06
a lot of times when we're constantly like on a hamster wheel in hustle mode.

409+06 - 412+07
And so it kind of sounds like Pinterest is a solution for some of us.

412+07 - 415+10
Who feel overwhelmed with marketing and and showing up all the time, every day.

415+11 - 418+06
Can Pinterest can Pinterest kind of help us step back and not hustle so hard

418+10 - 420+22
but fun and your percent like

420+37 - 422+37
it's changed and evolved and like sometimes I'm

422+37 - 424+39
even looking at Pinterest sideways because it does accept as well.

424+39 - 426+34
But like in comparison to Instagram, it's

427+09 - 428+32
I hope they don't see me, but

428+36 - 429+17
I hope they don't.

429+17 - 431+29
It is also so much better because, for example, one of my clients, we

432+17 - 434+27
created a pin back in 2020

435+10 - 436+28
and this pin one pin alone

436+28 - 438+26
drove 11,000 clicks to her website.

438+33 - 439+16
Oh my gosh.

439+16 - 440+33
And that was just one kid, just one graphic.

440+33 - 443+05
And still to this day it gets a couple of clicks each week

443+10 - 444+08
and it's like, I have not touched that theme

444+08 - 446+19
in almost two years because it builds up over time.

446+25 - 448+19
Like before on Pinterest, you could post a graphic

448+26 - 451+04
and then within a couple of days you've got 5100 clicks.

451+04 - 453+02
Whereas now because they really like honing

453+02 - 455+36
in on their algorithm and updating it, it is taking longer for your pins to rank.

455+36 - 456+21
So it does take

457+07 - 457+20
a month

457+20 - 459+18
or so now for you to really start seeing traction on your pins.

459+26 - 462+29
However, the good thing is once you've kind of planted that seed of that pin,

462+35 - 464+26
you're going to start to see the ROI over the long term.

464+26 - 467+15
So like pins that you pinned a month ago will be helping

467+16 - 468+14
to push people to your website.

468+14 - 470+11
And the good thing about Pinterest is it's new people.

470+11 - 471+02
I know, like on Instagram

471+02 - 473+31
and all the social networks, you're kind of limited to your followers

474+01 - 475+26
whereas on Pinterest, because people are on there searching.

475+37 - 478+38
If someone is searching for, like I said, website, web design tips, for example,

479+02 - 480+24
and your pin shows up in the search results,

480+32 - 483+04
you have a higher chance of being found because people aren't necessarily

483+04 - 484+29
going to go to Instagram with tip top four Web design tips,

484+29 - 487+12
but they'll go to Pinterest for that instead Oh, my gosh.

487+12 - 489+26
So I honestly feel like what you're describing is because you describe

489+26 - 490+29
Pinterest as a search engine.

490+29 - 492+11
And as you know, I know a lot of entrepreneurs

492+12 - 494+02
are big into SEO for Google and stuff like that.

494+15 - 496+29
But I was going to say that as we know, ranking

496+29 - 499+25
on the first page of Google takes a long time extremely expensive.

499+33 - 502+17
And so if someone is searching for Web site tips and you're trying to use

502+19 - 505+07
SEO to rank on Google, it almost sounds like it would be smarter

505+12 - 507+35
to try to bring more interest because it's probably more cost

507+36 - 510+27
effective to to create pins and you probably have a greater chance

510+28 - 513+37
on that search engine of someone finding your website or your services.

513+37 - 516+13
I mean, I've taken I mean, I I've been working over the years

516+13 - 519+01
at SEO and Google showing up for podcasts for Solopreneurs.

519+01 - 519+22
You know, now

519+22 - 522+11
after three years, I'm finally starting to see traffic from Google clicks.

522+11 - 523+17
But, you know, maybe Pinterest

523+17 - 525+04
could have helped me to accomplish some of those goals a little bit faster.

525+17 - 525+29
Yeah.

525+29 - 526+29
And, you know, I'm not sure

526+29 - 529+02
if the algorithm with the algorithm updates is might have changed, but

529+21 - 531+01
before when you would search for, let's say,

531+01 - 532+22
for example and podcasts

532+37 - 534+37
if you have pinned on your pin has performed well on Pinterest,

534+37 - 537+04
it actually shows up near the top pages on Google as well.

537+07 - 539+36
So they kind of you're kind of killing two birds with one stone with your traffic

539+36 - 542+34
as well, I'm sure now because they're like I said, that always updating things.

542+34 - 545+00
Maybe it's changed, but before people would kind of get

545+09 - 547+02
Google traffic and then Pinterest traffic at the same time,

547+02 - 549+02
which was just really, oh my gosh, that is so brilliant.

549+02 - 551+38
So if someone is listening and they are like, oh my gosh, this sounds

551+38 - 554+23
like what I want to incorporate into my marketing strategy today.

554+32 - 556+36
What are the first steps someone should take to start

557+02 - 557+37
incorporating a Pinterest

557+37 - 560+21
marketing strategy into their overall marketing strategy for their business?

560+28 - 562+19
Yeah, and the two most important things.

562+20 - 565+12
Number one, I would say have evergreen content on your website.

565+12 - 568+13
So look, post the podcast episodes or if you like, recording videos,

568+13 - 570+21
even YouTube videos as well, and then you can embed them on your website

570+27 - 571+15
and the reason why.

571+15 - 572+24
And before you go, what is evergreen content?

572+24 - 574+22
I know what it is, but I know there's are who are like, what is evergreen?

574+22 - 574+38
What does that mean?

574+38 - 576+20
So define that for us real quick. Yeah, yeah.

576+20 - 579+01
So from my definition of being content is like content

579+01 - 581+28
that will be searchable for a long period of time,

581+28 - 583+37
not just like seasonal content or like trending rules, but it's like

584+11 - 587+12
content that can answer a question or content that long-Form content

587+12 - 589+11
that can serve your audience over a period of time.

589+11 - 591+35
So for example, and let's say you had like a blog post

591+35 - 592+32
that was like a how to guide

592+32 - 595+29
because people are going to search how to in Google and on search engines.

595+34 - 598+01
And so you want to have long-Form everything content that can perform for

598+04 - 600+04
months and years to come that you don't have to keep going back

600+08 - 603+11
and updating or it's something that's only going to last for like a week

603+11 - 605+10
or two with all these rules that keep changing and then it's done.

605+12 - 605+28
Yeah. Yeah.

605+28 - 608+01
Like the pirate sounds, you do a little dance to a viral sound

608+01 - 610+07
and then no one wants to see it anymore because the people are sick of it.

610+07 - 610+15
Like,

611+19 - 612+22
it's like I've just record this

612+22 - 614+02
now the next one is trending like, oh, here we go.

614+18 - 614+36
Exactly.

614+36 - 615+02
Yeah.

615+02 - 616+35
But all right, I just wanted to make sure we all knew your content

616+36 - 617+29
because I know that. Yeah.

617+29 - 618+31
Author who didn't know.

619+14 - 621+10
And so and also, I would like to add as well with evergreen content.

621+10 - 623+16
It's also something that I also add it's own

623+25 - 625+14
a domain that you own as well

625+23 - 628+03
because we've content on other platforms.

628+39 - 630+39
If something goes wrong, they can.

630+39 - 634+00
It happened to me earlier, for example, I included a batched all my rules.

634+19 - 635+39
I'm editing one and then it suddenly pops up

635+39 - 637+10
with a Oh, your thing has been deleted

638+00 - 639+10
literally. So it's like it's gone.

639+10 - 640+23
I can't get it back. Right.

640+23 - 642+32
If it's on your website, you have complete access to that.

642+32 - 644+16
You own that content and it's going to live on your website

644+16 - 647+07
for however long you want it to live there and see it has ever been content.

647+07 - 649+04
And then also I would suggest doing keyword research

649+31 - 651+32
because you want to know what your audience is searching for.

651+32 - 652+30
And this is kind of like a mistake.

652+30 - 655+01
Some people will kind of when they say, Oh, I'm going to give Pinterest a go,

656+04 - 657+19
they will just put plans up.

657+19 - 659+33
But it's not necessarily what your target audience is searching for.

660+01 - 661+22
So these easy ways of doing the easiest way of doing

661+29 - 664+02
research on Pinterest, if you go on Pinterest in the search bar,

664+11 - 666+20
type up, for example, things you like solopreneur,

666+27 - 668+16
like entrepreneurship, business tips, things like that.

668+21 - 669+23
If you were to type in business tips,

669+23 - 672+02
it will come up with like a list underneath and all of those other things

672+02 - 674+10
that your target audience is searching for when they search business tips.

674+10 - 676+08
And those are like the keywords that you can use on the pins in open

676+09 - 677+16
titles, you can descriptions.

677+16 - 679+32
And that way when someone searches for business tips, you can show up.

680+01 - 682+18
So you have evergreen content and do keyword research

682+18 - 684+22
because Pinterest also wants fresh content

685+23 - 687+17
so that they can have fresh things, which is actually where the name came from.

687+18 - 689+21
Fresh synesthesia, because originally it was something else and that I rebranded

689+21 - 691+05
because I'm like, I like this because it makes perfect sense.

691+35 - 692+36
Yeah. Ooh,

693+01 - 693+24
okay, cool.

693+24 - 696+29
Those are such good tips, and I think the keyword research part is super important.

696+30 - 699+20
Obviously an evergreen content because obviously

699+20 - 701+21
like you were describing Pinterest is like a search engine.

701+28 - 704+36
So in order for your pins to work, you have to put tip to pin them with

704+36 - 707+35
keywords that represent what your target audience really wants to see online.

708+02 - 710+15
Yeah, I guess it's kind of like hash tags with Instagram.

711+02 - 712+33
Obviously, the algorithm has changed and they say less hash tags.

712+33 - 714+05
And they you they used to say max out the hash tags.

714+05 - 716+25
And seeing that they're saying only do ten hash tags or 12 or something like that.

716+25 - 717+32
I've given up with hashtags.

717+32 - 718+21
Oh my gosh, yeah.

718+21 - 719+04
Hash tag too hard.

719+04 - 721+24
But thinking about Instagram and hash tags or maybe even hash tags and tik tok,

721+24 - 724+14
this sounds kind of similar to the idea of keywords on Pinterest.

724+14 - 725+19
Am I correct? Or is it? Yeah.

725+19 - 727+34
And another thing to add because if your listeners are ready to go

727+34 - 730+33
and try it for themselves, don't list out a bunch of keywords in Arabic

730+33 - 733+09
as Pinterest will mark you as spam, and then you end up in Pinterest.

733+12 - 734+23
You don't want that to happen.

734+23 - 736+19
So the best thing to do with writing descriptions because people

736+37 - 739+01
whenever I audit like an account and I'll notice people

739+01 - 740+18
sometimes need their pin descriptions blank,

740+18 - 742+34
and you don't want to do that because I think you have 500 characters

742+34 - 744+38
in your PIN descriptions and that's like a lot of real estate for keywords.

745+04 - 747+06
So what you wanna do is let's say you've decided on,

747+12 - 748+32
you've got a blog post on business tips

749+12 - 751+08
and you've figured out your top three key words that you're going to use

751+08 - 751+24
for that post.

751+24 - 753+18
You want to use this keywords in sentences that makes sense.

753+18 - 754+05
So for example, it could be,

754+05 - 756+23
are you looking for business tips to help you start your own business?

757+03 - 759+14
In this blog post, I teach you five tips for entrepreneurship

759+14 - 761+30
to help you grow your business and make money online something like that.

761+33 - 764+09
And those are loads of different keywords that you can use to Pinterest to pick up

764+09 - 766+19
those keywords by using them in a sentence that makes sense.

766+19 - 767+28
That way they'll know, Okay, this isn't spam.

767+28 - 768+35
They're not trying to game the system

768+35 - 771+13
and they won't rest your account because getting your account back isn't working.

771+24 - 772+08
Right, right.

772+08 - 772+23
Oh my gosh.

772+23 - 773+36
Yeah, I've been in jail and other social media accounts,

773+36 - 776+07
and it's not fun when you can't use your account.

776+07 - 777+30
So that that's a really good tip.

777+30 - 780+00
Incorporating the keywords into a sentence or a quote or phrase

780+05 - 781+23
instead of just like listing them out.

781+23 - 781+39
And I agree.

781+39 - 783+23
I mean, it probably does look a little bit spammy. I mean,

784+09 - 785+05
I guess Pinterest probably

785+05 - 787+32
wants the platform to be more interactive with, with quality content, not just.

787+32 - 789+21
Yeah, it's blasting the keywords out.

789+21 - 791+17
Now, one question that comes to mind for me, so

791+30 - 793+36
Are there any challenges that people who are new

793+36 - 795+15
to Pinterest may experience, that people

795+15 - 796+27
who are listening to your tips and they're like, Oh my gosh,

796+27 - 797+29
I'm going to create my Pinterest account today?

797+29 - 799+21
I'm going to get started with challenges.

799+21 - 800+23
And I know you mentioned that one challenge

800+23 - 802+25
about not ending up in Pinterest jail, but are there other just

802+38 - 804+20
general challenges that people tend Pinterest?

804+33 - 807+18
I think one thing is the longevity of it,

807+18 - 809+15
because it's not like on Instagram where you post

809+15 - 811+23
and then you get like that's one thing that's good about Instagram.

811+24 - 812+34
You get the instant gratification.

812+34 - 815+04
But then on the flip side with Pinterest, you post a pin, but

815+08 - 817+29
it's not going to immediately your phone blow up and your website

817+29 - 819+33
has all these people on that, and your email list is growing overnight.

820+03 - 821+33
It is something that does take time to build up.

821+33 - 823+34
And like I feel sorry when people sometimes doing Pinterest, they're like,

823+34 - 825+05
they've heard all these good things and then they get on there.

825+05 - 827+04
Like, I posted a pin, where's my website?

827+23 - 829+27
So like one thing I would say is don't be discouraged

830+00 - 833+03
even in the first three months if you're not seeing a lot of traffic.

833+03 - 835+14
And even then there was someone who I worked with

835+25 - 838+13
and she was getting good results for three months, but I think she had like

838+37 - 840+26
higher expectations for Pinterest

840+27 - 842+24
and then she was like, you know what, I can just doesn't help my business.

842+36 - 843+15
That's it.

843+15 - 845+31
And it's like if you just give it a little while longer, it can work

845+31 - 847+26
like one of my long time clients, the one who

848+11 - 848+25
hasn't post

848+25 - 850+37
on Instagram, and she still gets website traffic with her.

850+37 - 852+34
Again, something that you've had to build up over time.

852+34 - 854+15
But that's why Pinterest works so well for her.

854+15 - 855+27
It's because you have to be consistent.

855+27 - 857+11
So don't be discouraged if you or you're ready to get

857+11 - 858+21
when Pinterest and you don't see results right away.

858+33 - 859+14
They will come.

859+14 - 860+17
You just have to be consistent

860+17 - 862+21
in that consistency piece is so important for a lot of things.

862+21 - 864+23
I feel like nothing great comes from doing it.

864+23 - 866+16
Every once in a while, you really have to put in the work

866+16 - 868+20
and be consistent over time in order for anything to work.

868+20 - 871+37
And so it's interesting that that life lesson also applies interest.

872+02 - 873+04
So yeah, thank you for sharing those tips.

873+04 - 874+23
Those words are helpful.

874+23 - 876+33
So something else that come to mind is one that was that consistency

877+01 - 880+17
and with Pinterest actually will reward you when you are consistent.

880+17 - 883+01
So you'll order things that you spend will get bumped up

883+02 - 885+17
because you're continuously adding new valuable content to their platform.

885+17 - 886+19
So if you want to get on Pinterest, good.

886+19 - 888+36
So be consistent with your strategy because then it bumps up

888+36 - 890+05
your older pins as well.

890+05 - 890+36
Oh, wow.

890+36 - 893+08
So the more and more you post the you have more and more content.

893+08 - 895+28
And then all of this content starts to get more and more yeah.

895+34 - 896+25
Wow. Exactly.

896+25 - 899+00
Because they want quality value because they dislike investors, like

899+06 - 901+20
they want it to be the happy place where people can go for like inspiration

901+20 - 902+39
like one thing I love about Pinterest, they don't have like

903+10 - 905+03
negativity and toxicity.

905+14 - 906+14
No one spilling tea on Pinterest

907+20 - 908+35
even to the point where they like limited,

908+35 - 911+23
I think, weight loss topics you're not really allowed to talk about.

911+23 - 913+31
Like this specific diet

914+12 - 916+05
because they think it's building unhealthy habits.

916+05 - 917+26
You can talk about like health and give like health tips,

917+34 - 919+07
but there's a certain thing I just slipped my mind,

919+07 - 920+08
not that you're not allowed to do simply

920+08 - 921+28
because they want Pinterest to be a positive place

921+28 - 923+12
where people get inspired and make their lives better.

923+25 - 924+14
Wow. And you know what?

924+14 - 926+39
I definitely agree because I feel I'm really active on Pinterest,

926+39 - 929+03
not posting, but really consuming content.

929+03 - 931+10
I have all your home decor and fashion is.

931+17 - 932+15
Oh, I love it.

932+15 - 935+18
And I feel like mentally I go there when I need a break.

935+18 - 937+38
Like I go, Yeah, to scroll mindlessly sometimes,

937+38 - 940+00
but I'm still looking for inspiration and I feel inspired

940+00 - 942+09
when I'm on Pinterest to improve things in my life.

942+09 - 942+28
I look very healthy

942+28 - 944+39
and it's all types of stuff, so I've never thought about it that way.

944+39 - 947+01
But oh my gosh, Pinterest is no negativity on Pinterest.

947+16 - 948+34
You get banned, right?

948+35 - 949+09
Oh my gosh.

949+09 - 950+28
Even with COVID.

950+28 - 951+33
Oh, should I say it on your podcast?

951+33 - 952+19
It's kind of like, Oh,

953+30 - 954+02
because

954+05 - 956+15
they literally pop up now with bunnies if you say the C-word.

956+20 - 958+38
But yeah, on Instagram you mentioned it on your story,

958+38 - 961+33
you see a great box pop up, which I know watching you.

961+35 - 963+08
Yeah, it's everywhere.

963+14 - 966+05
But yeah, on Pinterest during at the height of the pandemic.

966+05 - 968+09
And I think even now, because I was working with a dietitian

968+15 - 971+34
and she had a blog post for how to stay healthy during the whole situation.

972+03 - 975+26
And I was doing like research and I noticed they they she had a warning

975+26 - 978+39
and they were like only the governing body's health officials can post that.

979+03 - 981+26
So if you were posting anything to do with that, they would take it down

981+26 - 983+21
and you would they would remove you because they wanted it to be a place

983+21 - 986+02
where people work because it's it was a difficult situation.

986+02 - 988+15
They wanted only proper information to be on there

988+20 - 991+20
to stop spam and people posting all these hacks that don't work.

991+20 - 993+30
So they wanted it to be really streamlined and screened properly.

994+03 - 996+36
Wow. And I would have never known that that was happening behind the scenes

996+36 - 999+24
that they're so intentional about making their app a happy place.

999+24 - 1002+23
But no, I can think of even that value being related to so many things.

1002+24 - 1005+32
Like like if someone's business, if there is positivity inspiration,

1005+32 - 1007+10
I mean, that could be a really nice alignment

1007+17 - 1009+06
that also goes along with someone, someone's values

1009+06 - 1010+18
and what they know their target audience is looking for.

1010+18 - 1011+28
So, yeah, so interesting.

1011+28 - 1013+07
I really never knew that they were

1013+07 - 1015+06
about making sure their platform was so positive.

1015+13 - 1016+33
Now, think gears here a little bit.

1017+00 - 1018+23
I know that you started your business.

1018+23 - 1018+37
You did you

1018+37 - 1020+22
did you say you started like at the height of the pandemic

1020+22 - 1021+33
when it was kind of kicking off world? Wow.

1021+33 - 1023+01
I started it in.

1023+01 - 1026+16
So I know about February and because like, I was always looking at my manager

1026+16 - 1028+15
sideways, like one day this guy is just going to start firing people.

1028+15 - 1031+14
So I was literally stashing away all my paychecks just in case.

1031+15 - 1033+38
I'm very fortunate that I my parents, I live at home like I'm living at home

1033+38 - 1036+03
till I'm married because, yeah, these house prices were expensive.

1036+03 - 1036+38
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Here.

1036+38 - 1038+31
It's crazy right now to shoot girl.

1039+00 - 1040+00
I know.

1040+00 - 1040+28
That's a whole nother story.

1040+28 - 1041+26
I have so many friends who were like, oh,

1041+26 - 1043+39
my gosh, now is a terrible time to buy a house, a terrible time to rent.

1044+05 - 1045+09
Everything is just so expensive right now.

1045+09 - 1046+28
We're I'm in the U.S. Where are you at in the world?

1046+38 - 1048+34
I'm in Surrey. In the UK.

1049+00 - 1050+05
Okay, so I sound like the Chris

1050+33 - 1051+13
Bosh.

1051+13 - 1052+16
Yes. It

1052+25 - 1053+39
it's so bad, honestly.

1053+39 - 1057+01
And yeah, so I was like stashing all of my money away because I'm like this guy.

1057+12 - 1058+10
I just don't trust the way he's moving.

1058+10 - 1059+36
I feel like he's going to start firing people.

1059+36 - 1062+33
And so I'd had, like, a good life savings saved aside.

1062+33 - 1064+10
And so I kind of took like a couple of months

1064+17 - 1065+27
to figure out what I was going to do.

1065+27 - 1067+30
And then I kind of started putting things together when I got the idea

1067+30 - 1068+27
and I started pitching.

1068+27 - 1071+13
I want to say the end of May, around May time, something like that.

1071+18 - 1073+36
And then I ended up signing like my first official client in June

1074+02 - 1076+05
was funny enough, she was a podcast of I'd been listening to for years.

1076+05 - 1078+14
Like even when I was that much of the I did it like, like, it's so crazy.

1078+24 - 1079+12
That is so cool.

1079+12 - 1081+01
Because my question was going to be, how did you start

1081+01 - 1083+03
to put yourself out there and attract your first client?

1083+03 - 1085+24
I know there are a lot of solopreneurs listening or who may discover

1085+24 - 1088+03
this episode in the future who are just looking for resources

1088+03 - 1090+29
online about how to start their business or how to get their first client.

1090+29 - 1092+22
You know, that can be really challenging when you're new and you're like,

1092+23 - 1093+24
Oh my gosh, I just want one client.

1093+24 - 1096+16
So how did you attract your first client and how did you start

1096+16 - 1097+01
putting yourself out there?

1097+32 - 1099+04
So I definitely like done

1099+06 - 1101+05
a lot of cold outreach in the beginning, and I think that's probably

1101+05 - 1103+02
one of the only good things that came from that horrible

1103+02 - 1105+00
nine to five is we would have to do cold outreach.

1105+08 - 1107+35
And so that kind of took me to like organize like my needs and the people

1107+35 - 1109+00
that I wanted to reach out to.

1109+00 - 1110+18
And I just had to send a lot of emails.

1110+25 - 1113+04
And if you try this method, it does take time and you will get a lot of noise.

1113+29 - 1115+18
But some people are actually interested because, you know,

1115+19 - 1116+21
I've never thought of that before.

1116+21 - 1117+35
They want to know more about how it can help them.

1117+35 - 1119+20
So I did outreach also.

1119+20 - 1121+38
I think I got clients in Facebook groups as well.

1122+24 - 1124+15
With Facebook groups, there's a lot of competition because as soon as

1124+15 - 1127+01
someone post that, there's like 50 people also trying to get it as well.

1127+20 - 1128+39
And then after that

1128+39 - 1130+36
I kind of started building up like traction on like social media.

1130+36 - 1132+31
Like a lot of people found me through like Instagram

1132+31 - 1135+10
and just other areas on line and referrals as well.

1135+10 - 1137+26
Like if you've once you've got one client, it's good to always ask them

1137+34 - 1140+17
if you know anyone else that's looking for a virtual assistant

1140+17 - 1142+09
or web design or whatever is that you specialize in

1142+15 - 1144+20
because sometimes people actually are like five months.

1144+20 - 1146+36
And one of my clients, in fact a couple and last year

1146+36 - 1150+02
and even this year has said, Hi, I'm my colleague, or they've worked with

1150+03 - 1150+20
they've got a coach

1150+20 - 1152+33
and they say, oh, that interested to I'm going to post your details on.

1153+03 - 1154+33
And sometimes you're not always a good fit, but it does help

1154+39 - 1157+08
if you just ask people if they know anyone that needs referrals.

1157+24 - 1158+02
Oh, and you know,

1158+02 - 1160+12
I think that's such a powerful tip because a lot of times when you're new,

1160+12 - 1162+37
you're kind of hesitant about asking for what you want or,

1163+03 - 1165+12
or pitching yourself to a cold audience.

1165+12 - 1168+38
But yeah, I love what you said about sometimes people genuinely are interested.

1168+38 - 1171+10
They are looking for exactly what you offer but how will

1171+10 - 1173+15
you know that if you don't just ask if you don't just reach out?

1173+21 - 1175+03
And cold outreach is hard. But I loved that.

1175+03 - 1177+03
That was all you learned when you were working a nine to five

1177+03 - 1179+38
and you were able to translate that into skills that you needed in business.

1179+38 - 1181+35
So and that gets me thinking about the fact

1181+35 - 1184+09
that sometimes when we hate our job and we want to do more is an answer.

1184+09 - 1185+11
We think we want to start when in the future we're like,

1185+11 - 1186+20
Oh my gosh, this is such a waste of time.

1186+20 - 1188+16
But at times on your job, you're learning things

1188+16 - 1190+30
that will grow faster once you do so.

1190+37 - 1193+01
And so I love that you are using skills in your business.

1193+01 - 1194+13
Now you're on the job.

1194+13 - 1196+01
Yeah, I like people. Pitching is

1196+27 - 1197+00
don't be.

1197+00 - 1198+24
If you are going to try it, don't be discouraged.

1198+24 - 1199+21
Will take it personally.

1199+21 - 1200+26
If you get like

1200+37 - 1203+06
a not so delicate response back.

1203+06 - 1204+39
Sometimes some people, I think they just don't respond

1204+39 - 1207+06
well to people reaching out to you

1208+00 - 1210+00
but at the same time, I think if you structured your email in a way

1210+00 - 1213+03
that it comes from a genuine place of serving, people will pick up on that.

1213+03 - 1215+20
My longest client that I've had, it was through called Outreach.

1215+20 - 1217+26
And I remember when I sent her the email, she responded really quickly.

1217+27 - 1218+07
She was like, You know what?

1218+07 - 1220+36
I've had so many emails over the years and uses the only one that I've responded

1220+36 - 1222+39
to because you've really shown the value of what's in it for me,

1223+06 - 1225+03
as in like for her and how I can help her.

1225+03 - 1225+30
So if you look at it

1225+30 - 1228+24
from a place of service and not just there another number because I know, okay,

1228+26 - 1231+20
when you were reaching out, obviously numbers do matter, but don't look at them

1231+20 - 1233+24
from a place of just, hey, this is what's wrong with your website.

1233+24 - 1235+02
If you're a web designer, for example, you need to change this

1235+03 - 1236+01
and that, it's not going to go down well.

1236+01 - 1238+06
But if you reach out for the places I would love

1238+06 - 1239+39
to help you, here's the value that I can help to grow your business.

1240+07 - 1241+18
Then people tend to respond well to that.

1241+30 - 1244+33
Oh, and that even can take away that mindset, can even take away

1244+33 - 1246+13
some of the anxiety about reaching out in general

1246+13 - 1247+25
because you know in your heart

1247+25 - 1248+37
that you're reaching out because you want to help people,

1249+02 - 1251+14
not because it's about I mean, this amount of money, then

1251+24 - 1255+08
that makes you even feel less sleazy or weird about reaching out.

1255+10 - 1258+07
Because sometimes when you're reaching out and doing cold outreach

1258+07 - 1259+15
as an entrepreneur and I've been there as well,

1259+15 - 1261+26
I feel uncomfortable about even doing it cause I'm like, Oh, am I bothering them?

1261+26 - 1262+37
Do they think I'm like, you know?

1262+37 - 1265+27
Yeah, sometimes with cold outreach people just it gets a bad rap.

1265+27 - 1268+06
And if you make it about, you know what, I'm not reaching out to them

1268+06 - 1270+09
to be annoying I'm reaching out to them because I genuinely want to help them.

1270+09 - 1271+19
I know I can improve their business.

1271+19 - 1272+23
I know I can help them get results.

1272+23 - 1274+34
Then now all of a sudden, I don't have to have anxiety

1275+16 - 1277+10
or feel like there's some sort of halo of judgment around me.

1277+12 - 1278+35
Yeah, because this is about them.

1278+35 - 1279+22
This is not about me.

1279+22 - 1281+35
So that even I just feel like that takes pressure off 100%.

1281+35 - 1282+06
Yeah.

1282+06 - 1283+16
Because like, I even still kind of

1283+35 - 1285+19
I haven't done, like, outreach for a while, but

1285+19 - 1286+30
when I was like getting started

1286+30 - 1289+22
and also when I worked with a business coach because she would set, like my goals

1289+22 - 1290+38
while I was working with her and she was like, okay, maybe

1291+03 - 1291+34
how did you get your first few?

1291+34 - 1293+10
And that's something I should pick back up on.

1293+10 - 1295+38
And and I remember I sent an email before and the person didn't receive it well.

1296+24 - 1298+04
She was like, Oh, I think it's like you're trying to tell me

1298+04 - 1300+10
what's best for my business by outreaching to her.

1300+21 - 1302+39
And I just have to even then, like, you internalize it and you think,

1302+39 - 1304+37
Oh my gosh, I'm never going to send another email again, but

1305+16 - 1307+37
you have to look at it as a place from some people won't receive it well,

1308+08 - 1310+00
and you can't take it to heart

1310+10 - 1312+29
and be encouraged and know that, okay, you have something valuable

1312+29 - 1315+35
to offer and share, and the right people will see that because if someone responds

1315+35 - 1318+16
in a salty way, would you really want to work with someone like that anyway?

1318+24 - 1320+20
No, I wouldn't look at that in a ways.

1320+20 - 1323+20
They've shown you their cards and how they are in from the get go.

1323+20 - 1325+36
You know, so I would look at it like that was, well, don't take it to heart.

1325+36 - 1328+18
And also I think the right people that you meant to work with, things

1328+18 - 1329+10
will align as well.

1329+35 - 1331+06
That is such a word because we do things

1331+10 - 1333+35
we feel like I just saw a post a few weeks ago on Facebook

1333+35 - 1334+31
and it was just saying how,

1334+31 - 1336+34
you know, a lot of times as entrepreneurs we get so upset when we start a business

1336+34 - 1339+27
and our close friends and family don't support us, but it's just how it is.

1339+27 - 1340+30
Like sometimes the people

1340+30 - 1341+21
you expect to support you

1341+21 - 1343+17
while you'll send an email to someone and that is not your client.

1343+17 - 1345+28
And you can tell people that that they are, you know, kind of salty.

1345+35 - 1346+14
Yeah, right.

1346+14 - 1347+32
That's not a client you want to work with anyways.

1347+37 - 1348+24
Now that I think about it.

1348+24 - 1351+15
So I love that you share that because I think so many of us

1351+15 - 1353+21
take it personally when you kind of shoot us down and

1353+36 - 1356+07
I like to think of it as every time you get to know,

1356+07 - 1358+03
that's, that's also getting you closer to a yes. Yes,

1358+32 - 1359+21
I know that.

1359+21 - 1359+29
Okay.

1359+29 - 1361+36
I I outreach, I send out email outreaches often

1361+36 - 1364+19
and last time it took me 20 no's to get one. Yes.

1364+24 - 1365+27
So I did.

1365+27 - 1366+34
Yeah. So next when we get that.

1366+34 - 1368+34
Yes, you're like, Okay, now I got to go to your nose to get another. Yes.

1368+39 - 1369+18
Yeah.

1369+18 - 1371+05
Variation even I know every,

1372+01 - 1373+07
every client is a good client.

1373+07 - 1374+18
Like I have client

1374+30 - 1375+35
leads, I should say, people

1375+35 - 1378+05
that have approached me, they filled in my booking form.

1378+05 - 1378+34
I did an outreach.

1378+34 - 1381+04
Then you came to me looking for a Pinterest virtual assistant.

1381+12 - 1385+03
I get on call with them and you send your invoice and the contract

1385+06 - 1387+35
and I can see and upside that they posted it and they just go to you.

1388+01 - 1389+06
That's also going to happen as well.

1389+06 - 1390+25
You are going to get people that you say they want to work with.

1390+25 - 1391+39
You to this day, I don't know where they go.

1392+11 - 1393+20
Oh, my gosh. They just

1394+28 - 1395+20
you're going to get that as well.

1395+20 - 1396+24
Again, don't take it to heart.

1396+24 - 1398+30
Maybe look at it as something that maybe something came up or they realized,

1398+30 - 1401+11
you know, now's not the right time for them to invest with you.

1402+00 - 1403+18
It's nothing to do with you

1403+18 - 1405+18
as a person or even your business for that matter.

1405+18 - 1407+20
It was something going on with them, right?

1407+35 - 1408+14
So you should never, ever,

1408+14 - 1410+26
like internalize it because you are going to get trolls as well online.

1410+32 - 1412+11
You're going to get people ghosting you.

1412+11 - 1413+29
You're going to get even bad reviews.

1414+03 - 1415+19
I'm on edge for that one to come.

1415+19 - 1418+08
I'm not looking forward to it, but I know it's all part of your business.

1418+08 - 1420+09
It's all part of the journey of entrepreneurship.

1420+20 - 1422+33
I'm definitely one of those hard pills to swallow and things like that,

1423+04 - 1426+01
but it is definitely just a part of what it is to run a business

1426+28 - 1427+07
for somebody else.

1427+07 - 1429+18
You don't see those negative reviews, and also you don't take it as personally

1429+18 - 1431+34
because it's not your business, but it's your business and it's

1431+34 - 1433+34
a reflection of you and it's your baby and you're so passionate about it.

1433+34 - 1436+17
Then it feels like it just it hurts sometimes,

1436+37 - 1438+16
too shared that we have it personally

1438+16 - 1440+18
because business is business and day.

1440+19 - 1442+13
I mean, there will get good reviews and we'll get bad reviews,

1442+13 - 1444+04
but yeah, yeah, yeah.

1444+13 - 1447+07
And even then with bad reviews, obviously if someone's being literally unkind,

1447+18 - 1447+38
that's different.

1447+38 - 1450+18
But sometimes if someone said if they've given you maybe three stars

1450+18 - 1452+11
or four stars or whatever in your feedback, form,

1452+23 - 1454+01
maybe look at it as a place of, Okay, you know what?

1454+01 - 1455+23
Maybe they didn't enjoy this part of my process.

1455+23 - 1458+03
Now I can tweak it and make it better for the next person as well.

1458+09 - 1460+21
But I think it's difficult because like you said, your business is your baby.

1460+21 - 1461+32
It's your identity almost.

1461+35 - 1464+34
I know you should internalize and put yourself together but it's like

1465+13 - 1466+36
if I don't show up and open my laptop

1466+36 - 1468+37
and work, no one else is going to because it's mine.

1469+02 - 1472+11
And so when negativity is on it, you attach it to you

1472+11 - 1473+26
because it's your business.

1473+26 - 1474+25
But try not to.

1474+25 - 1475+16
Oh gosh, yes.

1475+16 - 1477+28
That was such a good reminder because I experience that as well.

1477+28 - 1478+12
So thank you.

1478+12 - 1480+01
Now, as we move into

1480+01 - 1481+21
wrapping it up today, this conversation has been so good.

1482+01 - 1482+36
I don't want it to be over.

1482+36 - 1486+05
But can you share any resources you think can help solopreneurs

1486+05 - 1488+14
improve their businesses, increase their productivity?

1488+15 - 1491+02
Are there any resources you offer that you think can be helpful?

1491+02 - 1493+32
And just in general, what can we do to support you?

1494+08 - 1496+16
Is there anything is do you do you offer anything that you think can help you?

1496+31 - 1498+01
Just kind of a little bit about that.

1498+01 - 1498+11
Yeah.

1498+11 - 1500+23
So I do have like I launched, of course, earlier this year

1501+12 - 1502+21
was something I was wanting to do.

1502+21 - 1504+09
But again, imposter syndrome like stuff.

1504+23 - 1507+01
I need to put it in a cupboard somewhere and close the door because I told people

1507+19 - 1510+17
on Instagram the other day, imposter syndrome just kept me small for so long.

1510+24 - 1511+17
Yeah.

1511+21 - 1513+19
But you know, I look at it as also this is something really valuable.

1513+19 - 1514+15
And I was talking about this the other day.

1514+15 - 1517+01
Even if you don't need to be ten steps ahead of your ideal client,

1517+01 - 1518+17
even if you're two steps ahead of them,

1518+20 - 1520+06
that's still two steps more than where they're at.
