Why Pinterest? First let me give a little background, I previously
did Beachbody Coaching and was pretty successful at it, not enough that I was
quitting my full time job, but enough that I was making a decent second income
and I was really enjoying helping other woman. My main and only form of reaching
out was Facebook. I had a blog then but didn’t hardly use it. Facebook took A
LOT of constant work. I spent a lot of time posting and following up with
people and just tons of work to show people what I had to offer. It wasn’t too
much work, but it was a lot.
I stopped doing it for about 2 years now, went through a separation
and a whole mess of things and just needed a break. I’ve settled my life and
wanted to get back into doing something I really enjoyed that was a positive
impact on my life and others. I didn’t want the constant need to be on Facebook
and posting, aside from in my Accountability groups. That’s where Pinterest comes
in. I’m a mom of 2 wild ones that are constantly running wild. I want to do
Beachbody because I enjoy it, but don’t want to have to put so much effort into
asking people if they are ready.
My thoughts on Pinterest is that it will be working, even
when I’m not. Facebook is the home for my Accountability Groups, but Pinterest
will be where people find me to connect. Pinterest is pretty much a Google
search engine for pictures and ideas. It’s pictures and ideas that bring you to
blog associated with what you are looking for. Pins go on and on forever and don’t
get old. Pins can be saved anytime and gone back to and looked at any time. On FB
one post lasts a day and then it’s gone, you consistently and constantly must
keep up with it. Using Pinterest and a blog, one blog post can last months with
people pinning and visiting your site.
The other benefit is when someone finds me on Pinterest, it’s
because they are looking for what I can offer. That’s one step closer to being
ready. It’s them simply filling out my form to chat and going from there.
Previously where FB was my hub now my blog will be my hub
and I’ll grow my business from here.
