Summary

On this episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, I interviewed Melanie Duncan, the creator of the extremely popular online training program, Power of Pinning. Melanie is also the owner of Luxury Monograms and CustomGreekThreads, both online businesses for physical products. So she has a great mix of experience and knowledge using Pinterest to promote an online training program, like many of you have listening now, as well as using Pinterest to promote physical products. For this show I asked Melanie to focus on how to use Pinterest for lead generation in addition to using it to increase web traffic. If you are a coach, consultant, author, speaker, or a service professional (such as a local marketer or social media manager), then this episode will be extremely valuable to you. In this episode, here’s what we’ll cover: The secret to the success of Melanie's program, The Power Of Pinning How to best use multiple Pinterest accounts The advantages that service providers have on Pinterest over those who sell physical products The importance of the first two rows on your Pinterest page and how to use them effectively How to use "teaser images" to increase traffic and build your list Why using tall images is important and how to bring even more attention to them How to change a personal Pinterest page to a business page and the advantages of doing so The biggest mistakes that online marketers make on Pinterest and how to overcome them What ONE action you should take in the next 24 hours in order to increase your effectiveness on Pinterest And so much more!

Hello, hello, Amy Porterfield here and thanks for tuning into another episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast.

And let me tell you, it's been a crazy few weeks.

0:37.5

Now, I got to tell you before we jump in, you might be able to relate to this most people running a business can.

0:43.5

I've had some website issues this last week.

0:46.5

And not only did my website go down because I was getting so much traffic to it that my shared server actually shut down and didn't want me to allow any more traffic to it, quality problem for sure.

0:58.5

However, you never want your website to be down.

1:01.5

So I did some research, I finally migrated over to a new server, one that is just me and I don't have to share it.

1:09.5

However, during the migration, I got hacked.

1:12.5

So not only was my website down for about 48 hours and then it was hacked, which is just a sick feeling when you go to your website, which is like your home.

I used this great company synthesis. It's part of the copy blogger brand and they were amazing.

1:37.5

So a big shout out to synthesis for helping me migrate my site over and they actually partner with a company called Fantastic.

1:56.5

I wanted to crawl up in a ball and just cry for a few days.
