Today’s Back to SKOOL Office Hour is𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆: 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗘𝗢 with @Tim Adam from Pinterest Skool! And yes, Tim knows Pinterest. There’s a reason I call him the Pinterest King. 👑📌 But one of my favorite things about Tim is that I’ve learned just as much from watching how he builds a community as I have from what he teaches about Pinterest. On December 25, 2025, I posted a celebration post about Pinterest Skool reaching 555 members! Today? 5.4K members. 🤯 That kind of growth in less than eight months isn’t just about making pretty pins. Tim understands search, SEO, traffic, community building, consistency, and how to create something people actually want to be part of. I’ve personally learned SO much from him, not only about getting found on Pinterest, but about Skool and building a community people want to keep coming back to. But remember, today isn’t a Pinterest training. It’s Office Hours. Come hang out with us and meet the man behind Pinterest Skool. Bring your questions about Pinterest, SEO, Skool, community growth, or whatever else you’ve been curious about. Hey, maybe you can even get him talking about his newer community, Deal Hub, or get him to give us a virtual tour of his 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗷𝗮 𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝗚𝘆𝗺 ... yes, he owns one IRL! So, who's ready for a little Independent Study with the 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗷𝗮 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 before we head into the weekend!? 👑📌 We will be live in the classroom at 11am CST / 12pm EST! Come Join Us! Missed one? Catch up here!

Most people think Amazon affiliates only get paid when someone buys a product. Some campaigns now pay up to $2.50 PER CLICK. 🤯 That's right... Not per sale. Per click. Now imagine combining that with Pinterest... 📌 Evergreen traffic that works 24/7. 📌 Pins that keep getting discovered for months. 📌 A system that consistently sends qualified visitors to Amazon. This is why I'm so excited about what we're building inside Deal Hub. We're creating an Offsite Traffic System that combines: ✅ Trending Amazon products ✅ Done-for-You Pinterest Pin Kits ✅ Evergreen Pinterest traffic ✅ More clicks ✅ More earning opportunities HERE are 10 TOP Amazon products PAYING up to $2.50 per CLICK! If you're serious about Amazon affiliate marketing, I believe Pinterest + Amazon is one of the biggest opportunities available right now. 🚀

I've been following the launch of 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗻𝘀, and they officially open their doors this weekend! A few themes that are popping up over there from the 28 owners 👀 💛 Stop waiting until you feel ready. 💛 Don't quit. 💛 Find joy every day. 💛 Do the thing you've been putting off. That feels like the kind of energy we all can appreciate! From what I've seen so far, Schooligans is bringing together people who love communities and want a place to connect, ask questions, share ideas, encourage one another, and just enjoy the journey together. Since it's launch weekend, everyone will be jumping in at the same time, which is always a fun way to experience a new community! So if you are not in yet ... you might want to grab your place in line!

If all of your advertising budget is going to Facebook or Instagram... You might be overlooking one of the highest-intent audiences online. Here's why. Pinterest isn't just another social media platform—it's a visual search engine where people actively search for ideas, products, services, and inspiration before they're ready to buy. Every month: 📌 619+ million people use Pinterest to discover what's next. 🔎 Users perform 80+ billion searches every month, with more than half having commercial intent. In other words, people aren't just browsing—they're looking for solutions and products to purchase. That means you're not fighting for attention in a crowded social feed... You're meeting people exactly when they're searching. Pinterest Ads vs. Meta Ads Meta (Facebook & Instagram): ❌ Interrupts people while they're scrolling. Pinterest: ✅ Connects with people who are already planning, researching, and shopping. That's a huge difference in buyer mindset. Many advertisers also find Pinterest to be a cost-effective platform, with clicks often ranging between $0.10–$1.50, compared to $0.50–$2.00+ on Meta. While results vary by niche and campaign, Pinterest's high purchase intent can make every advertising dollar work harder. Before You Spend Your First Dollar... One of the biggest mistakes I see is promoting a Pin that hasn't proven itself. Instead: ✅ Create several versions of your Pin. ✅ Let them perform organically first. ✅ Identify the one that's getting the most clicks and saves. ✅ Then invest your ad budget behind your best performer. Think of organic Pinterest as your free testing ground. Want to learn how to grow with Pinterest before spending money on ads?
