ARE YOU DAYDREAMING ABOUT USING PINTEREST?

You're a hard-working creative, knee deep in your unique work, juggling multiple clients, managing your inbox (will you EVER reach inbox zero?) and, fingers crossed, hoping your latest blog post will be read by more people than just your mom. 


WHAT IF YOU COULD...

Generate more client leads (without having to pay for expensive ads), grow your email list (and launch to an audience in love with your work), and finally get traction on all of your blog and content marketing efforts without having to constantly show up online every day (your gym misses you)?

Marketing is expensive—both in dollars and time. What if you knew exactly what to do when you hit publish on a new blog post with an automated workflow using Pinterest? What if you could grow your business with a solid organic strategy, broadening your marketing efforts on the content you are already creating, in less time with more results? What if you could feel less overwhelmed and make more progress toward marketing your creative business?

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

“I took a coaching session with Vanessa last year and since then, my Pinterest has exploded. I implemented as much as I could from all the ideas she gave me and grew my Pinterest referral traffic by 784% in one year (from 1,152 sessions to 10,188!).  Also, I'm at 929.5k monthly viewers on Pinterest, which I find amazing.

As far as revenue goes, last year I brought in over $16k from Pinterest conversions. It's hard to say exactly because not everyone fills out the "how did you find us" part of our contact form correctly - sometimes they put "search engine" and then I find out it was Pinterest but I'd estimate it to be over $25k. ”

- Alexandra Peterson, Idalia Photography


“Vanessa’s Pinterest tutorials grew my viewers by over 40x in 30 days! My business account went from practically non-existent, to now consistently growing in a very short amount of time. 

And, the best part is, I barely touched it since following her tutorials for the initial set-up! I wish I had realized how doable this was sooner.”

– Kathryn Joachim, Creme Brands
