Your Day Is About to Get Better

Our Deepest Fear is not that we are inadequate....but that we are powerful beyond measure.  

Fear is what holds us back.  Holds us back from taking that first step towards being powerful beyond measure and successful.  Fear is that tight feeling we get in our chest when we think of trying something new. 

 Sometimes when I am talking to business people about using Pinterest I can see that fear - fear of trying something new to market their product. 

 Fear that I am not telling the truth......................

Fear that it won't work...........................................

Fear that it will be money wasted..........................

But what if it is a powerful marketing tool and you did not give up?

Pinterest is upgrading daily and amazing things are happening.  Let your own light shine and step out there and take a look.  Your brave step will shine the light for others to use the powerful Pinterest tools that are more viral and have a longer shelf life than any other social media.

Many small business owners will look at this and think social media is the end all, cure all.  What the small business owner doesn't realize is how much time it takes to develop that following, resulting in unreal expectations.  As a small business owner please remember the following about social media: 

• Pin, post, upload, etc. consistently 
• Cross promotion between the social medias is vital
• Having an email list to make clients aware  is golden
• Takes a lot of time and effort to search for your target market 
• Give the social media time to develop 
• Think long term

If you remember this points and are diligent, social media can be an awesome asset to your marketing plan. 

How Do You Choose Names for Your Pinterest Boards?

One of the Top 3 questions I get asked is "How Do I Choose Names for My Pinterest Boards?"  Peers seem to be more concerned about the name of their boards than the description of their pins.  Below is a short video giving hints for naming your boards.  Shadow, the Pinterest Tipster, sends the message "Enjoy and take notes." 

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR PINTEREST FOLLOWING

Wonder what I should share with these humans today????

Hello, Shadow, the Pinterest Tipster, here again.  Sometimes I hear Anna talking to clients about their Pinterest accounts and why they are not getting much traffic.  I often hear her referring to her friend Vincent Ng, who she just adores.  Vincent this, Vincent that, Vincent says.  Well, I peeked at this video as she was producing it and thought, "Hmm, he is pretty sharp."  Therefore, I thought I would share with you Vincent's video about mistakes Starbucks made with their Pinterest account and maybe you can learn from his solutions.  I wish I had gone to Vancouver and met Vincent.  Noooooo, I had to stay here with the Pet Sitter.  I often stood at the window like this looking for Anna and Ron to come back.  Write a comment and let me know what you think.
