Jana explains why Pinterest is not a social media channel - and is actually a search engine! (Listen in for the full explanation.) The difference between content posting: Jana's course is "Pinterest with Purpose" which is perfect for people who are new to Pinterest and are trying to use Pinterest to grow your biz & make money. It teaches you to set up your profile properly and get amazing results from keyword research plus clarity on your audience. Plus jump into her FREE Pinterest Marketing Masterclass to learn: Do you need to pay for Pinterest tools? Jana says no, you don't. How often do you need to post? Only 1-2 per day maximum. How does Pinterest compare to Facebook ads? Pinterest is more organic and has a snowball effect of long-term results. Facebook ads (that have been optimized and tested already) and tend to be quicker, but you have to first optimize them and pay for them. Is Pinterest good for repurposing your content? Yes! Should I use my regular VA or social media manager for Pinterest? Since Pinterest is not really a social media site, regular VAs may not understand exactly how Pinterest works. COME VISIT JULIE!
