Pinterest For Beginners
APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

 If you aren’t using Pinterest in your business it’s time to start. I will give you a few tips if you are a beginner. It is important to understand how Pinterest works so you can create a strategy and leverage it in your business marketing. This platform is a great way to increase your traffic and grow your brand. In episode 67, I talk all about it! 

Pinterest For Beginners

I once thought Pinterest was just for inspiration for decorating your house and throwing parties. I quickly learned this visual platform not only helps me throw a great party but also is a great tool for my business.  If  you aren’t using Pinterest in your business it’s time to start. I will give you a few tips if you are a beginner.

 

It is important to understand how Pinterest works so you can create a strategy and leverage it in your business marketing. This platform is a great way to increase your traffic and grow your brand.

 

PINTEREST IS A SEARCH ENGINE

Pinterest is very similar to Google. Statistics show that 250 million people use Pinterest every month. When we are looking for ideas, topics, and inspiration, we head to Pinterest. With that said, you need to ensure that your profile, boards, and pins are optimized so they appear in the search results.

KEYWORDS AND PINTEREST

Using keywords is the most crucial element to ensuring that maximize your reach. Your objective should be to connect with your ideal clients. 

 

Researching and utilizing keywords that your ideal client may search is key to growth. Take time to make lists of words and phrases your ideal clients might search for. You can use the search bar within in Pinterest or the Google search bar to find a great list of keywords that are applicable to your ideal audience.

 

Although you can follow and be followed in Pinterest, that number does not limit your reach.  With the proper techniques your reach potential is huge.

YOUR PROFILE

One of the first things you will want to do is convert your Pinterest account to a business account.

 

A business account also offers enhanced features such as access to website and blog URLs in profiles, so users can be directed to other platforms they might want to explore. In short, upgrading from a personal account to a business one gives you far more opportunities that can’t be found elsewhere.

 

Linking to your blog or website will ensure that all content is original, and you’ll have access to Rich pins, Promoted Pinterest pins, and statistical data. With this data, you’ll be able to track the number of views and clicks on each post, as well as see which boards are the most popular among your followers.

OPTIMIZE YOUR PROFILE

Having an influential presence on Pinterest begins with a list of carefully chosen keywords related to your specialty. These search words are essential for maximizing conversions and elevating visibility in the platform’s environment.

Once you’re navigating through, look out for auto-suggestions in the search bar – these will offer powerful insight into which terms people use most frequently as they hunt down what want/need!

 

A professional profile picture should include a headshot – it’s the easiest way to stand out and build trust with new customers or readers.

 

Display name: provide your first name, then select 1-2 keywords that best describe your blog/business. If there’s still space left, you can add your business name, too.

User name: this is the field where you add your blog’s or company name. Your user name will be visible in the url to your Pinterest profile. For example: pinterest.com/yourcompanyname.

 

About: Captivate your audience with a stunning profile description! Make sure to pack in the keywords as these will ensure you reach out quickly and effectively. Add important business information and demonstrate what makes your blog or business stand out, whilst keeping it cohesive – keep it simple yet engaging; try weaving 4-6 of those desired keyphrases into 500 characters for maximum impact.

CALL TO ACTION

You can’t add click-able links in the profile, but don’t let that stop you from adding your website, podcast, or lead magnet.

CREATE BOARDS TO STAY ORGANIZED

You can organize your content by creating different boards that can house different topics.  When creating boards, you are prompted to give them a title so you know what types of pins live in that board.  When you save a pin to Pinterest, you select a board to save it. To maximize your reach, try to come up with subcategories.  For example, I am a business coach so I have boards for SEO, Mindset, Growing Your Newsletter, etc.  When creating your boards, reference your keyword list to utilize words your ideal client may be searching for.

When using Pinterest to help with your business, use secret or hidden boards for personal pinning. When you make a board secret that means no one can see it but you.

 

With that being said, if part of your personal brand is fashion or home decor and that is what speaks to your audience you can include those boards.

CREATING PINS

Most pins are vertical and this is the preferred orientation. I use Canva to create my pins and they have prefabricated templates that make it quick and easy.  Pinterest is a visual platform so use images, text, and colors that are appealing and draw people in.  Use images that are relevant to the content that you are pinning.

WHAT TO PIN

Pin all of your content.  Anytime you post content, pin it.  You can also pin from someone’s website or Pinterest feed.  If you read an interesting post or see an image that inspires you pin it to your Pinterest.  Some websites have a pin button installed which makes it easy to access.  However, you have the option to install a Pinterest extension that will enable you to pin from most sites.

MY PIN STRATEGY

When I create a piece of content, say for an example a podcast or blog post. I will create 5-10 pin graphics for that piece of content. The graphics are all different. I may choose different colors within my brand, different images, and even a different version of the title with similar keywords.

 

Once the graphics are created and I have written a brief, keywords rich description of the content then I will start scheduling the pins. You can use a program like Tailwind, or you can just use Pinterest. They both have scheduling features. When I pin my content I will pin each of the different graphics in different boards on different times. That way all my pins for one piece of content isn’t showing up all at once on my followers feeds.

 

If I create 10 graphics for each piece of content and pin 5 different pieces of content a month, that is 50 pins a month. When you break it down that way it doesn’t seem so daunting.

FOLLOWING OTHER PINNERS

You can follow other people on Pinterest, but you can also follow individual boards.  This is a great way to ensure that your feed is filled with pins that are relevant to what you what to view.

YOUR PINTEREST FEED

When you log in to your account there are several types of pins that will show up.  Different pins can come from different sources.

  • Pins from people you follow
  • Pins recommended by Pinterest based on your interest
  • Promoted pins or paid pins

ALGORITHM

Like other platforms, the Pinterest algorithm changes often. Every Pinterest user sees different pins on their home feed.  Your engagement may fluctuate, but pinning consistently is key.

It is important to try new things and create new strategies.  Keep an eye on your Pinterest insights and continue to watch for updates.  Take time at least monthly to educate yourself on what is working on Pinterest and adjust your strategies.

 

YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL

Your objective on Pinterest is to get people to pin your original pin. While you still want to share other people’s content, you ultimate goals is to promote your pins and get people to click on them and end up on your blog or website.

 

Become aware of what it is people are pinning and produce content that is similar to that. Pay attention to the images, graphics, text and content that is getting pinned the most. Create different graphics for the same content and see which one performs the better.  Utilize the Pinterest autofill search bar to see what is being searched for the most.

CONSISTENCy

In order to see results from Pinterest, you must learn to be consistent.  It will take several months of pinning and learning how Pinterest works before you will see results.  Schedule time every week to be active in Pinterest. 

Spending time learning and using Pinterest can be a great tool in your business. It can help you strengthen your brand and improve your visibility.

Stop The “I Don’t Knows” ,

Stop The "I Don't Knows"

REDEFINE PODCAST

Stop The "I Don't Knows"

Stop The "I Don't Knows"
APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

Stop The “I Don’t Knows”. We can do anything we want to do if it is important enough to us. Next time you are tempted to say, “I don’t know,” STOP!  Change your thoughts because you DO know! When you learn to control your thoughts, we open ourselves up to our full potential. 

Stop The "I Don't Knows"

I attended a networking event last night. The host asked us to think about a specific person and circumstance that was pivotal in our business. It was hard to think of just one specific example. We are constantly being molded into what are suppose to become. I have had many, many failures and defining moments in my life both business and personal, but if I had to pick just one it would be the time that I discovered Life Coaching and the mindset tools I didn’t realize I was missing.

 

Around 2018, I got certified as a life coach through the Life Coach School. I don’t think I really knew what I wanted to do with it, but I knew that I wanted to learn more about it. I am sure you have heard the saying, “You don’t know, what you don’t know.” Well this is the truth. I didn’t know what I was missing and the tools I gained changed my life and was so empowering.

 

When you learn to see yourself and others in it in a different way it opens up the world to possibilities you didn’t think you were capable of. I know this statement is a tad eccentric, but it truly was life changing.

 

I have always been a motivated and driven person, but changing your mindset is most definitely is not the same thing

Stop the "I Don't Knows"

Let me give you an example:

 

I needed a new website. Feeling overwhelmed I didn’t know where to start. My website needed to have a distinct look and specific features. My particular style was unique and I knew from past experience that I was a hard customer to please. I began shopping around for web designers but couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for. I kept coming back to the same thought: “I wish I could just do it myself, but I don’t know how.” 

 

The “I don’t know” is a thought we have more often than we should. But that is it—it is just a thought. When we say or think “I don’t know,” we stop ourselves in our tracks. We have no action, no progress, and no result. 

 

What do you want for dinner? 

I don’t know. 

When are you going to finish your master’s degree? 

 

I don’t know. 

When will you write your book?

 

I don’t know. 

 

The result of all these scenarios is always the same: nothing happens, right?

 

Stop The "I Don't Knows"

So how do we change? First, take “I don’t know” out of your vocabulary.  Don’t think it or say it. We have to train our brain so we can get different results. Come up with a new thought that will serve you better. 

 

For example: 

 

When are you going to write a book? 

 

I am going to dedicate 2 hours every Friday to writing. I can even get more specific and say I am going to dedicate every Friday from 9:00-11:00am to write and goal is to get it done by September of 2025.

Changing our thoughts from “I don’t know” to “I will figure it out,” helps us progress. Our beliefs start to change about ourselves. We gain confidence because instead of stagnating, we move forward. We might not always get the results we wanted, but we progress and learn and that is ultimately what we want. The more we practice these thoughts, the less room we have for negative thoughts and self-doubt. We realize our grand capabilities and start working towards our goals.

 

I finally accepted that if I wanted my website to be a certain way, I would have to do it myself. Instantly I removed the “I don’t know” from my thoughts and changed it to, “I am smart; I can learn how to build a website.” And that is exactly what I did. I set a daily goal for myself. The goal was to spend one hour every day either learning how to build a website, working on my website, or finding someone to help me on my website. Some days I would spend the entire hour trying to change the font! The whole process took much longer than anticipated, but guess what? I built my website. 

 

 

Once I changed my thoughts, I was able to act and get the results I wanted. So often we think we aren’t capable, but in reality, those are just our thoughts. When we learn to control our thoughts and our minds, we open ourselves to our full potential. We can do anything we want to do if it is important enough to us. Next time you are tempted to say, “I don’t know,” STOP!  Change your thoughts because you DO know!

Defining Core Values In Your Business

REDEFINE PODCAST

Defining Core Values In Your Business

Defining Core Values In Your Business
APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

In Episode 63, Defining Core Values in Business, I talk about the importance of creating values and then aligning those core values with everything you do in your business. Your values will help guide you on your business path and make sure you are meeting your goals. 

Defining Core Values In Your Business

I once had a business acquaintance. I had a few negative experiences with her, but moved on and just decided to steer clear of her. She was well–known and very successful, but had a horrible reputation and was tabled a mean girl in the industry. Time passed and I had forgotten about her.


A few years ago she randomly reached out to me asking if I wanted to collaborate. It would be a great opportunity and it would give me some great exposure. Yes it’s true she waived shiny objects in front of me and I gave in. I agreed. I did my part of the collaboration and included all the bells and whistles, trying to ignore the fact that I wasn’t her biggest fan. When the time came to promote the project, I started going my part. I sent out emails and started promoting on social media. Within minutes I received a few messages from friends I loved and respected. They where taken back that I was collaborating with this individual. Immediately, I felt regret. I knew I had made the wrong decision. I messed up. #FAIL Defining core values in your business is one of the first things you should do when starting your business.

Core ValUes

Core values are the fundamental beliefs of a business, they are guiding principles that dictate how your business will run. You need to decide right now what yours are going to be. Once you determine your core values. You want to make sure that your core values are aligned with every single thing you do, this includes speaking engagements, podcast interviews, product collaborations and more.


If you are not firm in your core values you will not be prepared when someone or something might not align with your core values.

Stay true to your core values and who and what you want to be in your business.


Core values are the fundamental beliefs of a business, the guiding principles that dictate how your company will run.


Your business’s values help you determine if you are on the right path to fulfilling your business goals. There are plenty of values that you can consider.


Here are a few of my favorites:

PROBLEM SOLVING

Building a great company is about solving one problem after the next. If you can surround yourself with people who are excited to hop from one problem to the next, you will achieve great things.

DRIVE

I have always felt that there are three types of people: people who want things to happen, people who watch things happen, and people who make things happen. I have found that ambition can be a really powerful value if it leads to people being the change they want to see in the
world.

AUTHENTICITY

There is too much at stake for a business to fall into a trap of trying to please anyone and everyone. Over the years, I have found that if people are honest, open, and direct in all they do, their relationships are solid and lasting.

COMPASSION

This is probably one of my favorite personal and professional values. Compassion is not something everyone possesses; it is a gift. The ability to understand the challenges that others deal with, what they care about, and how you can help them thrive to hit their goals and maximize their potential is a character trait I look for in everyone I interact with.

ADAPTABILITY

For me adaptability means one thing: How well can you pivot when you need to? While perfection is never possible, how well we adapt to change will determine how durable our success will be. In a world of constant speed bumps, but those who can roll with the change and still perform are prime time players you want to work with.

ACCOUNTABILITY

When we can own our part in anything good or bad we see massive growth. Blaming things on others doesn’t serve us and can stop our progression. Recognizing that we can create the results that we want is essential to success.


We have to be accountable for all the things in our business and that includes failure. Own up to what is not performing well so you can find ways to improve. If you are not accountable you may begin to sweep things under the rug or, worse, begin to point fingers or pass blame around.

INTEGRITY

Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. It is generally a personal choice to uphold oneself to consistently moral and ethical standards and a business should surround itself with people who care deeply about integrity. When this happens everyone benefits — partners, customers, and, most importantly, you.

Every business needs to make time when defining your core values in your business. Make it a priority to identify and acknowledge your values. Everything you do in your business should reflect these values. When you are clear on your core values, all your interactions, choices, and goals should reflect those values. When your business begins to scale and when you hire or work with other people, make sure your values are shared with everyone you work with to ensure you maintain the integrity of your business and
brand.

How To Get Your Content Seen

How To Get Your Content Seen

REDEFINE PODCAST

How To Get Your Content Seen

How To Get Your Content Seen
APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

One of the best ways to get your business noticed is through content marketing. Your goal is to get noticed by your potential client and generate leads. Did you know that 1.79 billion people where online last year? The majority of people looking for services or products begin their search online. Content marketing is one of the most effective ways to direct these searches toward you and your business. That is why it is important to learn how to get your content seen.

How to Get Your Content Seen

Content creation can take a lot of effort and time. I often hear small business owners complain about the time it takes and so, in turn, have “given up” on their efforts. Like anything in our business, it’s not about the time, but more so about the priority, we give things. Online marketing is quickly becoming the trend and in order to achieve the success you desire, content creation needs to become a priority.


Once you commit to content marketing, you’ll want to maximize your efforts. Don’t just write a blog post, share it, and then move on. In order to justify the time you spent creating, you must extend your reach. Your goal is to understand how to get your content seen and there is a better system that will help you produce results.

CREATE VALUE WITH YOUR CONTENT

Take the time to really know your audience. Who are they? What are their needs? What are their struggles? Create content ideas that will serve them and help them achieve success. Determine where they are in their business and help them develop. Do your market research. Reach out to your ideal clients and inquire about what they need help with right now. You want to become the expert and the way to do that is by helping your clients achieve their desired results. Remember, you might be a chapter ahead of your ideal clients, so try to put yourself in their shoes.

SHARE, SHARE, SHARE

Get the most out of your created content. There are a plethora of social media platforms—use them all. As long as your content is relevant, keep sharing it over and over. Make a list of all the social media platforms your ideal clients use and repost on all of those sites. You can pull little snippets or quotes to create graphics or smaller posts on different platforms to maximize the reach.

LINK OLDER CONTENT IN YOUR NEW CONTENT

A great SEO tip is to link your older relevant content to your new posts. When you are writing the new content, look for keywords or phrases that relate to some of your past content. This will boost your SEO and also help position you as an expert in several different areas.

UPDATE OR AMP UP OLD CONTENT

Take some time to go over analytics to see which of your content performed the best. Which topics did your audience find most valuable? Search the content for a topic or section you could elaborate on and dive deeper on. This supports your expertise and educates your audience on a topic they may find interesting to learn about. This will expand your reach and hopefully bring new visitors to your site.

CREATE NEW RESOURCES FROM OLD CONTENT

Figure out which of your blog posts performed well. Turn that content into a guide, checklist, or cheat sheet. Create a video and post it on Instagram, FB, or YouTube. Sharing different content on different channels is a great way to reach new audiences and expand your brand.

FEATURING YOUR WORK

Reach out to others in your industry to collaborate. Offer to be a guest blogger. You can place your work in front of new audiences. Occasionally, publishers will want your fresh content to show up on their blog first, but after time you can post that same content on your own site. Other times they won’t care.


There are plenty of ways to extend your content. Don’t feel like everyone is seeing your content over and over. Once you learn how to get your content seen, you will see an increase in traffic to your site and exposure to your brand. Your time is valuable. Make sure it counts!

APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

How to stop caring about what other people think is the topic I’d like to focus on today. We spend so much of our lives worrying about what other people will think of us. Our kids misbehave, and we worry that others will view us as a “bad” mom. We skip a social event and we assume that people will think we are rude. When we say what’s on our minds, we are convinced we have offended. We tell someone no and then we feel like we need to give a reason and a justification. The list goes on and on and on. When we learn to stop caring what other people think, we will find empowerment. We gain the confidence to become who we want to be.

How To Stop Caring About What Other People Think

I think to a certain degree we all care what people think of us. If we didn’t we probably wouldn’t go to extreme lengths to look thinner, smarter, or younger, right? But when it can hinder our progression, hold us back, or takes control of us, that is when it becomes an issue. That is when something needs to be done.


One of my favorite analogies is called “A Peach is A Peach.” It goes like this: You could be the sweetest, juiciest, tastiest, prettiest peach, but some people just don’t like peaches and you know what? That’s okay. If someone told us they didn’t like peaches would we constantly try to convince them that peaches are good? Would we coerce them into adding sugar or whip cream and try again? Probably not, but we do that with ourselves!

You Won't Please Everyone And That is Okay

Do we often act in a way that we think will please or impress other people? We do this in an effort to convince them what to think. We are seeking constant approval in our words and actions. The truth is some people just don’t like or agree with us. That is okay. I could speak to a group of 100 women, fifty of them could agree with what I said and fifty of them could disagree. I know that I have no control over other people’s thoughts no matter what I do or say. None.

Have you ever bent over backwards to try to please a client or friend. You may have compromised your boundaries, spent endless hours working on a project, extended your budget or time to still received unwanted criticism?

How To Stop Caring What Other People Think

I am uncertain if it my age, my energy level, the skills I have gained, or a combination of all of those things, but I have learned many skills that have helped me learn to stop caring what other people think.


You can gain the right tools to help you learn to believe and accept that you have no control over what other people think. Don’t get me wrong, it takes practice—LOTS of practice—but once you can accomplish this you will gain unbelievable freedom.

 

You do this by learning.You will build confidence you didn’t know existed. You will become the truest, most authentic version of yourself. As this happens you will start to live a life that allows you to be and do things that will best serve you. Your relationships will become deeper and more meaningful. You will be a better mother, wife, sister, or businesses woman and begin to spread your wings and accomplish your goals.
