079: Skyrocket Your Digital Products with Pinterest

How to Use Pinterest to Get More Traffic, Leads, and Sales in Your Online Business

 

Want more eyes on your content, a growing email list, and consistent sales from a platform that keeps working long after you post? Say hello to Pinterest — your new best friend for long-term, organic growth.

In this episode, Lindsay chats with Pinterest strategist and manager Jenny Lang, a former scientist turned digital marketing pro, who now helps women-owned businesses boost their visibility and income using Pinterest. They dive into how Pinterest works differently than social media, why consistency (not virality) wins, and exactly how Jenny revamped Lindsay’s ghosted Pinterest account into a growth engine for her podcast, blog, lead magnets, and digital products.

Whether you're selling on TPT, launching digital courses, or just starting your business, this step-by-step conversation will give you the clarity and confidence to start using Pinterest as a real traffic and sales tool.
