Hi Jessica, so glad you found this helpful! And yes, you absolutely can use Pinterest without Tailwind. Tailwind is totally optional! We just find that it's beneficial for those of us who pin and re-pin all the time.
@@evergreenauthors9479 Okay, thanks! I know you said not to delete old pins, but what about the pins that are not evergreen? Such as a limited time free download of a book that is no longer free but the picture clearly states "free download" or something like that so I can't change the description to make it evergreen. Should I delete those?
@@jessicaadamsot We always suggest only pinning things that are evergreen. Pinterest really isn't a great platform for time-sensitive things. So yes, if you have pins that are no long relevant, you'll want to delete those :)
I know this is an older video the algorithm suggested it and I have found it so helpful. Can someone share what it is suggested to start advertising to play around with to begin? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for this! I have an online art store where I've pinned products to Pinterest. However, I've just created a short visual story that I want to sell - Would you recommend a separate site to promote it or the same site I have... even though the content is unrelated??
Hey there! We like to keep things stress-free and simple. So, if we were you, we'd probably have one Pinterest account with two different "types" of boards. Much easier to manage :)
Hey ladies thank you for the great info! I do have a question that I hope you can help me with. As a middle grade fantasy author there are not many -how to- or -lists- that I could pin like you suggested that would lead to my books. What suggestions would you have for authors that are not in the self help genre? Thank you 🌸
So glad you found the video helpful! For you, we'd suggest thinking of other YA authors as well as YA resources as potential content for Pinterest. You could have a board for beautiful book covers, writing resources for young adults and adults writing YA, boards highlighting artists you are inspired by, or simply "YA Books to Read" that would be lists curated by other authors or bloggers. As far as your own website goes, just one post of your favorite YA books of all time could be a beautiful, evergreen pin for you that you could continually boost to lead people to your site.
Much gratitude for all the great advice. I have been struggling with social media. I am excited to start my author journey. I look forward to checking out your website. Again much gratitude for sharing and helping author like me get started and feeling confident.
Thank you for this informative workshop. I enjoyed it, and you are both fantastic. It would be interesting to know your recommendation regarding Idea Pins. Do you recommend these over the standard Pin?
I just found this video and it was great! Once someone gets to your post/blog, do you have a call-to-action regarding your book or do you link your book in the post somehow? Thanks so much!
This is super useful for me as a self- published and self marketing author, thankyou!
We love hearing this! Educators have such a great audience on Pinterest-- you will love using it to its full potential to sell your work!
Thank you.
Thank you for the tips. Is it possible to make a go of this without tailwind?

@@evergreenauthors9479 Okay, thanks! I am definitely only posting evergreen stuff from now on!

@@evergreenauthors9479 ..I agree - thank you! If you ever need a book illustrated - let me know.. !!
I loved this. Thank you. I love Pinterest and have subscribed to you guys. Great job.
So glad to have helped!
Question? Do you recommend that all your Pinterest post and list be original content or do you ever recycle content?
We always recycle content! That's the best part about Pinterest!
@@evergreenauthors9479 Dope! Thanks for your response.
Thank you. I am not a FB or IG or Twitter fan, so knowing how to use this option (which feels more like my target market anyway) is so useful.
BTW: Pinfinite Growth appears to no longer be available. None of their links to the course work.
Great Content, you ladies Rock😀

@@evergreenauthors9479 thank you so much for taking the time to respond. This has definitely helped me and sparked other ideas as well 🌸💕
This video is so helpful for self-published authors trying to navigate Pinterest. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Much gratitude for all the great advice. I have been struggling with social media. I am excited to start my author journey.
I look forward to checking out your website. Again much gratitude for sharing and helping author like me get started and feeling confident.
What if you sell different niche books, like no content books. I see journals, logbooks, notebooks and etc. What type of boards would I create?
I fell in love❤️❤️❤️
You both are amazing.
Thanks.
I do I join your community.

thank you, super useful :-)
Thank you for the free advice!
Would this work for a children’s book author who has less than 10 published books so far?
Absolutely. Children's book authors have so many options for multiple boards on Pinterest!
Am a teacher too. Wow
I just found this video and it was great! Once someone gets to your post/blog, do you have a call-to-action regarding your book or do you link your book in the post somehow? Thanks so much!
Yep! That's exactly how it's done :) So glad the video was helpful to you!
@@evergreenauthors9479 Perfect! Thanks so much!!
