Stop Sitting On Your Gold
Us creatives, we have a habit of putting our blood, sweat and tears in digging and tunneling hard, searching for gold.
We find it, we polish it up. But when we take it to market, get scared that maybe it’s not gold. Not REAL gold. Cos we just got it from the ground. With our own bare hands. Whereas REAL gold comes from other people’s white gloved hands in fancy jewellery shops.
So we take it home. And sit on it so long, we begin to believe that it really IS shit.
You know what I’m talking about?
Me too.
I did that with this Pinterest for Creatives e-course I dreamed up, and hammered out. The tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way that I wanted to share with creatives to help them get more out of Pinterest.
And then chickened out of launching it.
But there’s something about writing a book called Burning Woman, that is making me step out of my shadow. So I’m chickening out of chickening out! And am sharing it, in the knowledge that it will support you on your way.
I’m bringing my gold to market.
It’s a mini-course. But guaranteed to help you improve how you use Pinterest. It’s the techniques I’ve used for the past two years to take my account from 2,000 followers to 16,500, and growing by 500 a month. Every month.
Whether you’re an artist, writer, crafter, entrepreneur or just wanting to enhance your Pinterest passion, this course will help you to create and curate fabulous boards. Build your following. And get your creative work shared. Through a combination of simple, actionable challenges, information and live interaction with me and your fellow students.
As a creative entrepreneur and visual learner it rocks my world… and my business. And I can’t wait to share my passion – and tips for success with you.
Are you one of the creative souls who knows that Pinterest SHOULD be good for your creative process… and your business… but never really got the hang of it. And so your account sits virtually untouched?
If that’s you, you’re not alone. It’s my self-proclaimed duty today to get you all fired up – and getting the most out of Pinterest. After all, you joined because you liked the look of it. But then maybe you got all flustered or overwhelmed.
We’re sorting that out right now!
Or maybe you’re a regular pinner, but just can’t seem to build your following… and you’re getting frustrated, because you don’t know why.
The knowledge I will be sharing here helped me quadruple my followers from 120 to 500 in less than 3 months. And then the next year, from 3,000 to 12,000 in just one year.
You get
- A private Facebook group to network, share tips and resources… and get new followers!
- Written content and video to help guide you through the process – this course is FULL of actionable tips and advice.
Watch my welcome video here http://youtu.be/QpVqtFWFxSI
So grab the Pinterest for Creatives e-course at mates rates – yes, that’s just $10 (originally $29). Follow the link and when you are registering, click REDEEM CODE and use MATES.

Whether you choose to join me on it or not, please promise me you’ll share your gold somehow today.
Be brave, dear creative soul, the world is richer for it.
