6 Reasons You Should Be Using Video Pins + How to Make Them
There are nearly 300 million daily users on Pinterest. That’s 300 million potential customers and clients out there just waiting to scroll upon your content. In fact, 97% of searches on Pinterest are unbranded, which leaves a huge opportunity for your content to show up. But how do you make them stop scrolling to check it out?
Since Pinterest is a visual search engine, you can bet that there are millions of beautifully stunning images already, but images are static, so a great way to catch someone’s eye is by creating a video Pin.
They’ve been around for a while, but their popularity has been rising exponentially in the past couple of years with the amount in 2019 increasing six times what it was in 2018. Even though video Pins are gaining traction, they’re still less used than images, which means there’s a huge opportunity just waiting for you to increase your visibility on the platform.
Another great thing about video Pins is that they automatically start playing when they’re halfway on a user’s screen. In a sea of static images, that’ll immediately catch someone’s eye and, hopefully, entice them to click through to your website. Why else should you create video Pins, though, and how do you create them?
The Dos and Don'ts of Email Marketing
The great thing about having an email list is that it’s yours, and you’re able to market to people who you know are interested in hearing more about you and what your business is up to. It’s amazing for building lasting relationships with your audience, which is the key to making consistent sales and seeing growth.

That’s why, today, we’ll be going over these do’s and don’ts. Some we’ve experienced ourselves and others we’ve seen firsthand with other businesses. And if you really want to up your email game, stick around till the end!
What the Heck is the Instagram Algorithm and How Does It Work in 2020?
The Instagram algorithm, A.K.A. this seemingly mythical being that’s confusing the heck out of tons of people. You may see it talked about a lot either by Instagram gurus or in Facebook groups, but one piece of information that seems to get left out is what it is and how it even works.
We’re all aware that a few years ago, Instagram stopped showing posts in users’ home feed by chronological order, so now it almost feels more like a popularity contest. (We miss those simpler times!)
Everyone is scrambling around searching for information on how to beat this beast, so we pulled together a list of our top tips for making Instagram’s algorithm your very best friend.

When was the last time you were excited about creating a sales page? When was the last time you felt empowered to create something that was going to put your amazing offer out into the world?

The Complete Guide to Webinars: Lessons We've Learned from Hosting 50+ Webinars
Hosting webinars is a super fun way to engage with your audience, pitch your product or service and add amazing value. But there’s also a lot to think about!
It can be both crazy-exciting and super duper scary to host a live webinar. There are probably tons of thoughts and what-ifs floating around in your cute little brain.
“What if I forget what I want to say?”
“What if no one thinks what I’m talking about is interesting?”
“What if…?”

We’ve hosted countless webinars (literally.. we lost track somewhere around 50), so we’ve picked up a few tips along the way that we’d love to share with you. Stick around for the end because we have a treat that will help you knock your first webinar out of the park!
Do This Before You Pitch Your Business to Brands
You’ve been doing this business thing for a little while now, and you feel like you’ve finally found your footing. Everything seems to be going great, except for one thing.
You don’t have any features, collabs, partnerships, or PR opportunities in general!
Opportunities for exposure could be so many different things, but they all circulate back to working with another brand. This could be writing a guest blog post or being featured in a blog post, collaborating with another brand on an upcoming launch, being a guest on a podcast episode, having your story told in a popular magazine, landing an interview on a daytime talk-show program, etc.
Some of those examples seem far more reachable than others, but in order to land any of them, it all starts with the steps you take before and leading up to pressing send on that pitch (and don’t worry, we’ll be going over that, too!)
A few of these steps you might not even think twice about, especially if you’re DIYing this whole pitch-your-biz-to-other-brands thing, which is why we’ve made sure to give you a solid plan to put yourself out there confidently.

Here's Why You Should be Using Header Graphics in Your Emails
So, you either already have an email list or you’re wanting to start one. You’re putting together all of the awesome, value-packed emails, your new announcements, simple chatty messages, and you’re done, right?
Wrong.
Out of all of the important factors that go into an email, one thing we highly highly recommend you don’t forget is your header. This is the eye-catching graphic at the top of an email. They can serve different purposes, but the main point is that 1. They help your email stand out, and 2. They have the ability to give your reader a quick idea of what your email is going to be about.
We’re positive that in all of the newsletters you receive in your inbox on the daily, 100% of them probably have some sort of opening header graphic. This is their staple. This is the one thing you can expect to see every time when you open their email.
Today, we want to help you figure out why you need your staple and what it can do for your emails.
