Most people don’t know this… Pinterest is NOT

Most people don’t know this…

Pinterest is NOT social media! It’s actually a search engine (like google) 🤯

And the best part? It’s takes less than an hour of work each week to see results in your business.

✨ 450 million people are on Pinterest each MONTH and there’s no such thing as a popularity algorithm. Likes don’t matter over there!

✨ 85% of people say they go to Pinterest when starting a new project aka looking for guidance & support

✨ 97% of searches are unbranded which means Pinterest users are open to whoever would be that solution

✨ You are 7x more likely to influence people in their purchase journey than other social media platforms

This is exactly why I’ve been using Pinterest in my own business for the past several years.

Pinterest is my #1 driver of traffic to my website + how I’m able to spend LESS time online and more time enjoying my life 😊

I’m opening up 3 spots inside the Pinterest Lab for the month of April. This is a 1:1 coaching program that will teach you exactly how to…

✅ Develop your unique keyword strategy to get your content in front of the right people
✅ Create boards with optimized descriptions
✅ Create pins that stop the scroll (there’s a specific way to format them!)
✅ How to add your original content to work for your and get your offers in front of your ideal client (there is a strategy to this)

I’m walking you through everything step-by-step!

How to make:
1. Whisk together 1 cup milk of your choice with 1 tbs @ommushrooms peppermint hot chocolate mix on a small saucepan on stove.
2. Heat up nice and hot!

GF PUMPKIN BREAD 🎃

I’ve made this bread 4 times already in the month of October. So trust me when I say, it’s PERFECT 🤤 I love a good pumpkin bread in the fall! It’s probably by favorite fall baked good. Perfectly sweet with just the right amount of spices and super moist 👌🏻

1 cup maple syrup
1.5 tsp cinnamon

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE 🎃

But with functional mushrooms 🍄 I love a good PSL and even more when it has ingredients like Lion’s Mane + Cordyceps that help with energy and focus!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
1 cup almond milk
1 tbs @ommushrooms PSL Superfood Mushroom Blend

Froth together your milk + PSL mix and serve iced or hot!

CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO SWEET POTATO MOUSSE 🍠 🍫

CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO SWEET POTATO MOUSSE 🍠 🍫

The first time I made this and tried it, I said “OH MY GOSH” out loud. When I say this tastes like a chocolate pudding cup, I’m not joking 🤤 And you don’t taste the sweet potato at all!

You could get fancy and top with homemade coconut whipped cream, melted chocolate, chocolate shavings, etc. This is a great meal prep dessert to keep on hand for the week! Plus, is tastes better as a chills 🫶🏻

INGREDIENTS:

1 medium sweet potato (I used a white sweet potato)
3/4 cup almond milk (can use any milk)
1 shot espresso
3 tbs maple syrup
1/4 cup @navitasorganics cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Cut sweet potato in half and bake face down on baking sheet at 425F for 45 - 50 minutes or under soft and tender.
2) Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
3) Pour mousse into a glass and refrigerate for at least one hour *if you can wait that long 😉
4) Top with cacao nibs or chocolate shavings

I’ve been on an oats kick lately 😋 Protein overnight oats are one of my favorite hearty lunches or even afternoon snacks!

When I’m pinched for time, I love @eatpropergood Overnight Oats. The peanut butter chocolate flavor is my favorite 🥜 🍫 All I do is add the oats to a glass bowl or tall glass, add 1/3 cup dairy-free milk and one scoop of protein powder. That’s it! I like to let mine soak for 2 hours.

The REAL reasons you’re not making 6-figures as

The REAL reasons you’re not making 6-figures as a Health Coach (yet 😅)

1️⃣ Your offer isn’t interesting enough to your ideal client

You need to think “what is the ultimate end result people get from working with me?” Your messaging needs to focus on your ideal client’s pain points and how you help them achieve a specific result.

2️⃣ You aren’t getting in front of the right people

You don’t want to get in front of other health coaches. You want to get in front of potential
clients. You need to know your audience inside and out. Where do they hang out? Facebook groups, forums, etc. Don’t be afraid to ask people who are your ideal client where they like to get their information, who they like to follow, etc.

3️⃣ You aren’t meeting your audience where they are

You have to offer your offer to people who actually WANT it. If you’re a health coach who wants to help women with body confidence, that’s great, but your ideal client might actually want to lose weight and the body confidence comes as a by-product. Lead with what your audience actually wants.

4️⃣ You aren’t continually generating leads

If you are going fishing, you wouldn’t go to a lake that doesn’t have fish. You would go to a lake that you know has a lot of fish. This analogy applies to your business. You want to go where your potential clients are and bring them into your world. A great way to do this is to collaborate with someone in your space who has a larger audience than you do!

Building a 6-figure business starts with mastering the basics. My top clients who have created wildly successful businesses started with the basics - that’s it. It’s not complicated 🙅🏻‍♀️ It just takes consistency!

I’m helping you master the basics inside the 4-Week Accelerator. 3 spots left open this month!🔥

I get it. Social media can be very frustrating and feel like you’re on a hamster wheel of content creation without a return. AKA money or clients 😳

I felt this way when I started my business and it wasn’t until I learned how to leverage Pinterest that things really started to pick up. I even had my first $8,000 month after focusing on Pinterest!

Pinterest has completely changed my business, to put it bluntly.

I’ve been less interested in posting every single day on IG and more interested in enjoying summer and just being present with other things in my life!

I wanted a way to market my business + grow my audience without needing to be “on” 24/7.

Curious how I signed 2 private clients and grew my email subscribers by over 350 people this past week? PINTEREST.

IG is great for building connections + relationships, but Pinterest is a powerhouse for marketing.

98% of my clients find me through Pinterest.

If you’re still just using Pinterest to find your dream kitchen inspo or the best GF chocolate chip cookie recipe, your missing out on web traffic and clients.

To put it lightly, you’re leaving thousands of $$$ on the table 😱

Need help getting started? Join The Pinterest Lab and I’ll teach you the exact steps to turn Pinterest into your #1 marketing tool 🔥

SINGLE-SERVE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE 🍪 I have t

SINGLE-SERVE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE 🍪

I have to say, this cookie has been one of my favorite desserts to make for the past few years because it’s like a bakery style cookie - extra chewy, puddles of melty chocolate, and just the right amount of sweetness 👌🏻

Here’s what you’ll need >>
3 Tbs almond flour
3 Tbs oat flour
1 Tbs vanilla @getbetterblends protein powder
1 flax egg (1 Tbs ground flax + 2 Tbs water)
1 Tbs almond butter (or fave nut butter)
1 Tbs maple syrup
1 Tbs melted coconut oil or applesauce
1/2 tsp baking soda
Splash of vanilla extract
Pinch of pink Himalayan salt
Handful of @enjoylifefoods chocolate chunks

I recommend splitting this into two cookies for baking purposes!

Bake at 350F for 10-13 minutes. Let the cookie rest for 5 minutes before enjoying 😋

RASPBERRY CHIP SMOOTHIE 👌🏻 I’m a daily smo

RASPBERRY CHIP SMOOTHIE 👌🏻 I’m a daily smoothie kind of gal and this one is quickly becoming a favorite. Raspberries are packed full of fiber and antioxidants making them a fruit you want to eat on the reg! Just make sure they’re organic. The sweet tart flavor of the raspberries combined with the rich cacao nibs make this smoothie just perfect 💗

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup water
1 cup frozen raspberries (ideally organic)
1/2 frozen banana
1 tbs ground flaxseed
1 tbs cacao nibs
1 scoop @equipfoods vanilla protein powder
Handful of ice

Blend in a high speed blender and top with extra raspberries + cacao nibs 😋

I love a good fruit crisp in the summer! Served with vanilla ice cream and it’s just pure perfection 🫶🏻

3 tbs melted coconut oil

Pinch of salt

It might surprise you to learn that I don’t rely

It might surprise you to learn that I don’t rely on social media for sales.

Do I think social media can still be a part of your business? Of course!

Having been in this industry for almost a decade now, I’ve done plenty of experimenting and learning from other businesses…

One thing they all have in common? They don’t rely on ONE platform to drive sales.

If your business is entirely dependant on an algorithm, that’s a risky place to be.

You should have control over your sales.

That’s why I turned to Pinterest 📌

Because once you master the art and science of using Pinterest to make sales, the doors open for more opportunities…

✅ YOU are in control. There is no algorithm to obsess about.

(Compared to social media, which works best when you share things in a trendy way and post religiously)

✅ You get to be as private as you want — your pins speak for themselves

(Whereas the whole point of social media is to be social. And the algorithm will punish you if you stray from “popular” topics.)

Now Pinterest is more than just creating some pretty pins and pinning them over and over again.

It’s about knowing how to:

…Speak to your audience

…Convey your message

…And sell with confidence

It took me a few years to figure it out.

But once I did, I started regularly making five-figures or more during every promotion I do…where the only thing I have to do is create new pins and pin them!

Once I find something that works, I want to share it with all of you, so you can skip a lot of the trial and error and get it straight.

Everything I do and have done, to make 6-figures from Pinterest.

It’s all inside The Pinterest Lab.

If you want to learn how to make sales from Pinterest - by creating eye-cathing, SEO-optimized pins, you can get all the details by commenting “PINTEREST LAB”.

How to Make MORE SALES as a Health Coach on IG 💵

Here’s the secret and quite frankly, the good news! You don’t need a massive following 👀

I work with clients who have as little as 300 followers who have made $5,000 a month. If
you’re thinking, “Wait really? That could be me!” Keep reading👇🏻

The secret to making more sales is in your POSITIONING.

Here’s how I want you to master your positioning:

1️⃣ Identify your ideal client’s pain points

Do I sound like a broken record with this one yet? 🤣 But for real, this is SO important. If you understand what keeps your ideal client up at night and can communicate that you understand how they feel, you’ll have new clients begging to work with you!

2️⃣ Show how you provide a solution to their problem

Now that you’ve identified the problem, how can you help them? This is what people will pay for. Prove that you have a solution that they can’t live without.

3️⃣ Create consistent content around their pain points and your solution

This makes you the go-to expert in your industry and in your niche! Focus your content on speaking to your ideal client’s biggest pain points and then show them how you can help them.

Tell me which tip you’re going to focus on this week! 👏🏻

🔜 I’m opening up 3 spots for my 4-week Intensive Coaching Program in August.
