According to online content strategist and educator Jennifer Priest, Pinterest is a “cash cow” that not enough artists and creatives are taking advantage of. With Pinterest, viewers can find an aggregate of information on the topic of their choice, no matter who posted it, or when. In other words, this platform is essentially the Google of the arts and crafts world.
In this week's episode of the Pencil Kings podcast, host Mitch Bowler talks with Jennifer Priest, owner of Smart Creative Social, about using Pinterest to drive traffic to your online business or blog. Jennifer shares why she switched careers to start her digital business, how she found a way to stand out from the competition, and why Pinterest is her secret weapon for growing an audience and boosting sales.
