Organic Outreach: Pinterest Edition
After taking years longer than my mother and best friends to discover that Pinterest is one of the most amazing sites to get lost in great DIY projects, recipes, projects, home decor, you name it…
I read again and again about a few savvy entrepreneurs using Pinterest to blow up their businesses.
It took me about two years of finagling to understand the Og Mandino quote,
Grow a thousandfold, something about planting seeds and reaping a wild harvest.
If you’re okay with being your biggest supporter, cheerleader, and promoter… and know that your followers aren’t seeing the vast amount of pins you keep positing… you can think of yourself as the most overzealous online garderner out there and BLOW SHIT UP.
First, you have to have great content. Period.
I wouldn’t have a job if most people had a natural eye for good design.
I wouldn’t even consider myself a great designer, but I feel I have at least a little bit of an intuitive knack for color theory, consistency, and minimalism to get me through.
My biggest advice to all entrepreneurs and small business owners?
Stop telling yourself things are “too hard”.
They only are if you make them.
Like working out. You might get your ass handed to you the first few classes. But eventually, I promise, what seemed impossible will eventually become EASY. A WARMUP.
