[00:00:05] – Pinterest Isn’t Just for Recipes and Weddings Anymore
Lindsay and Jenny bust the myth that Pinterest is only for party planning or home decor and explain how it’s actually a powerful search engine for business owners — especially teachers and moms with digital products.

[00:05:25] – The Real Reason Lindsay Returned to Pinterest
Lindsay opens up about ghosting her account for years, and how her renewed focus on organic marketing led her to work with Jenny to rebuild her Pinterest strategy from scratch — targeting teachers, digital product creators, and course buyers.

[00:07:25] – The Power of Keywords, SEO, and Optimizing Your Pinterest Profile Jenny breaks down how they revamped Lindsay’s name, bio, boards, and pin descriptions to target a broader (but still aligned) audience of moms and teacherpreneurs looking for passive income.

[00:10:30] – Why Your Website Should Be the Pin Destination
Hear why Jenny links pins to Lindsay’s claimed website (not just YouTube or TPT), and how it boosts Pinterest rankings and conversions while repurposing podcast and YouTube content into blog posts.

[00:14:25] – How Often Should You Be Pinning in 2025?
 No more 30 pins per day! Learn about safe pinning intervals, how to use Tailwind, and why spacing out repins across different boards helps build momentum without getting flagged by the algorithm.

[00:20:30] – What Pinterest Metrics Actually Matter
Impressions are just the start. Jenny walks through what really moves the needle: saves, outbound clicks, and engagement — and how you can track results using both Pinterest and Google Analytics.

[00:24:10] – Pinterest Strategy for TPT Sellers and Beginners
Even if you only have a TPT store, Pinterest can work for you. Jenny shares how to get started, why building a blog is a smart next step, and how to grow even if you don’t have a claimed domain yet.

[00:28:00] – Using Pinterest Catalogs for Digital Product Sales
Jenny reveals how to set up Pinterest product catalogs (think Shopify, WooCommerce) and track actual sales from your pins — a game-changer for anyone selling from their own site.

[00:29:15] – Pinterest Is Where People Go with a Purpose
Pinterest is built for planning, not doom-scrolling. Jenny explains how to tap into this intentional mindset with strong visuals, branded pins, and smart keyword usage that draws in users ready to take action.
