0:00Hello, everyone. You're on the Masha
0:03about Pinterest channel. And today we
0:05have a super unusual video for you.
0:07It’s so hard for me to film this. Oh
0:09my God. I even changed my location to
0:13be a bit closer to you, because today's
0:15video is my personal story. To be
0:18honest, I rarely tell this story and it
0:21took me a long time to gather the
0:23strength to share it, but I’m sure it
0:26will inspire many, and I just have to
0:29tell it now. This is a story about how
0:33I became an entrepreneur, how I built
0:35my own online school with million-ruble
0:38launches, how I became a blogger
0:40working with cool brands, and how I'm
0:42invited to speak at national-level
0:45events. Multi-channel blogging with a
0:48very loyal audience. In short, how I
0:50reached the point of working for myself
0:52, having freedom of choice, and running
0:55my own projects. And it all started
0:57from a point where I was just a
0:59burned-out SMM specialist with an
1:02income ceiling of 30,000 rubles.
1:04Spoiler. Everything I have, everything
1:07I mentioned to you earlier, all of it
1:09is thanks to Pinterest, or rather, not
1:11just Pinterest, but the profession of a
1:14Pinterest manager. This is the
1:16profession I'm talking about today, and
1:18it’s the profession that literally
1:20changed my life. I’m recording this
1:22video because I really want as many
1:24people as possible to know about it. So
1:27, are you ready? I’m a bit nervous
1:30because these are going to be some very
1:32personal things, so sit back and pour
1:33yourself some tea. Let’s go. So, the
1:37year 2022. The year when literally
1:40everything changed for all of us. I
1:41want to start right there, because that
1:44was the year Instagram was blocked for
1:46us. Just in case, I should mention that
1:48Instagram is banned in the Russian
1:49Federation. In 2022, I was a
1:51stay-at-home mom with an income of
1:5420,000 rubles. And I was doing SMM. I
1:57was an SMM manager. When it happened,
2:00when Instagram was blocked, my client
2:03told me straight: "You understand that
2:06half the audience is going to leave
2:08this platform, and for me to keep you
2:10on, so we can continue our work, we
2:13need to manage other social networks,"
2:15which makes sense. I accept that
2:19decision both as an entrepreneur and
2:21from the perspective of social media.
2:23Back then, we were forced to start
2:25embracing multi-channel presence.
2:27Basically, to keep you on, we need to
2:29manage something else. Let’s
2:31brainstorm, and we settled on the VK
2:34social network and, surprisingly,
2:36Pinterest. Back then I thought the
2:39circumstances were working out
2:41incredibly well for me because I asked
2:43the client to increase my income to
2:4530,000 rubles for managing two more
2:47social media accounts for their brand.
2:50So, my total income from this one
2:53project for three social networks came
2:55to 30,000 rubles. I was incredibly
2:58happy about it because, of course,
3:00I’d been working there for 20,000 for
3:02almost a year, I wanted some growth,
3:04and I thought everything was falling
3:06into place. If only I had known what a
3:09trap I had set for myself back then.
3:11Even though we ended up parting ways on
3:13bad terms, it was thanks to him, that
3:16client, that I learned about this
3:18platform, for which I’ll probably
3:20always be very grateful. Anyway, I was
3:22told that they had an account. This
3:25account hadn't been active for a long
3:27time—I think they hadn't touched it
3:29for over a year—yet it was generating
3:31500,000 views on Pinterest every month.
3:34I was stunned, thinking: "Wait, you
3:35mean you can just stop managing a
3:36platform and it still gets half a
3:37million reach a month?" Seriously? Some
3:40girl had set it up for them a long time
3:42ago, organized everything, set up the
3:44boards, and uploaded tons of pins. And
3:46this account, can you imagine, had just
3:48been growing on autopilot year after
3:50year on its own. Essentially, it was
3:52running itself. And when I found out
3:54about this, I was, of course,
3:56incredibly curious about how that was
3:57even possible, what kind of platform it
3:59was, and the fact that you could even
4:00use Pinterest was a total discovery for
4:02me. Well, like for many people, it
4:04opens up this option: wow, I thought
4:06you could only save pictures there. I
4:08had the exact same experience.
4:11Naturally, I quickly started studying
4:13the platform because I was curious, and
4:16because I needed to earn those 30,000
4:18rubles. Which I would end up looking
4:21back on for a long time to come. And in
4:23reality, I was holding onto that money
4:25for dear life because, for me, it was
4:27literally everything. It was my only
4:30source of income since, remember, I was
4:32on maternity leave, and I had a
4:34desperate desire to help my husband
4:36with our family finances. And this
4:39money was literally, well, maybe not a
4:41lifeline, but a very important
4:43contribution to the family. In the past
4:45, even before 2022, I was a content
4:47photographer. I also did SMM, so I have
4:50quite a lot of experience—literally
4:52since 2017 I've had SMM experience. I
4:54had quite a lot of content photography
4:56clients in St. Petersburg, and among
4:58entrepreneurs, as well as just girls,
5:01we would host photo days. But there was
5:03a cap on my income there too, yes,
5:055-7,000 rubles for an hour-long shoot.
5:08And those shoots were absolutely
5:10exhausting. Constant moving around,
5:12constant trips to photo studios. Plus,
5:15I live quite far from the city center.
5:17It took up so much time and required so
5:19much effort to organize. I constantly
5:21had to think about who to leave my
5:23child with. She was still little and
5:25didn't go to daycare yet. In short,
5:27every shoot felt like some kind of
5:29heroic feat for me. And, of course, I
5:31was constantly thinking that I needed
5:33to change something. Those thoughts
5:35were literally wearing me out. And you
5:38know, every New Year, I would make a
5:40wish that I was finding a new
5:42profession, that I was leaving SMM,
5:44leaving content photography, and
5:46reaching a new income level. You know,
5:49all those wishes written on pieces of
5:51paper—that was just me for several
5:53years in a row. How much inner turmoil
5:55was there? Well, I think you understand
5:57why it's hard for me to record this
5:58video now. So I hope this video will be
6:00a source of support for those who are
6:03in such a situation, who are literally
6:05at this point right now. Whether you're
6:08a burnt-out SMM manager, a stay-at-home
6:11mom wanting to help her family, or
6:13someone dependent on a single source of
6:15income. These people will probably
6:19understand me and my feelings right now
6:21, because you're familiar with that
6:23terrible state where you desperately
6:25want to break that dependency but are
6:27also terrified of losing what you
6:29already have. Those clients, that money
6:32. It is, essentially, the only thing
6:34keeping you afloat right now. Anyway,
6:36let's take a deep breath. When I was
6:39first told about the magic of Pinterest
6:41, I had no idea that you could
6:43naturally get traffic, brand awareness,
6:45sales, views, and reach from that
6:47platform. And the funniest thing is
6:50that the client's account hadn't been
6:51active for a long time, but our new
6:53photos, which I personally shot for
6:55that brand, were constantly being
6:56uploaded to Pinterest. We kept finding
6:59our new collections there. And I kept
7:02thinking: "Damn, it's so frustrating
7:04that some stranger is uploading my
7:05photos, which I created." Anyway, we
7:08even tried to fight it, wrote to
7:10support, and filed complaints.
7:11Sometimes it worked, sometimes it
7:13didn't. A lot of foreign accounts were
7:15posting those photos to their pages.
7:17All in all, it was a complete mess.
7:20Just so you know, it was an account for
7:22balloons, and I personally shot some
7:24very beautiful content for them. I
7:26started working with them as a content
7:28photographer, then did their SMM. That
7:30theft of their content went on for
7:32quite a long time, right? I think
7:33it’s probably still going on right
7:35now. But that means the content is
7:37great, it’s interesting, you could
7:39say, and it belongs on Pinterest. So,
7:42it was actually quite pleasant,
7:44personally for me, as the author of
7:45those photos, to see it getting boosted
7:47like that. So, if you notice this
7:50happening to you—that you aren’t on
7:52Pinterest yet, but your content is
7:53already living there, someone else is
7:55posting it—that’s a sign that you
7:56need to be there, that your content is
7:58great, and that someone has already
7:59started promoting it for you; keep that
8:01in mind. Let's get back to it. So, I
8:03started diving into Pinterest. I
8:05started learning all the nuances, I
8:07began running an account, and, you know
8:10, moving directly from theory to
8:12practice. I gathered information bit by
8:14bit, because back then, in 2022, there
8:16weren’t any courses like there are
8:18now; now I have colleagues, and I’m
8:21launching my own training. Back then,
8:23my client gave me some lectures from a
8:25girl who had managed it before them.
8:27They were some very poor-quality
8:29recordings of live presentations. I
8:32watched it all, absorbed it, and
8:34practiced right away. Yeah. And
8:36honestly, I didn't exactly have extra
8:38money to spend on training. Of course,
8:41I went on to figure everything out with
8:44my own hands, gathering it all bit by
8:46bit. And essentially, I had a great
8:48start because I had hands-on practice
8:50immediately. I mean, I was managing an
8:52account directly, testing different
8:54hypotheses, and we almost immediately
8:56started growing, reaching nearly a
8:58million views per month. Although at
9:00first everything seemed quite difficult
9:02, because it was a completely confusing
9:04platform; I understood right away that
9:06it wasn't Instagram and that it worked
9:08quite differently. The girl who managed
9:11it before, whose lectures I studied,
9:13used quite complex methods to promote
9:16Pinterest. And what can I say, the
9:19platform at that time, in 2020, wasn't
9:21as adaptive and user-friendly as it is
9:23now. There were indeed some rather
9:25convoluted schemes for posting pins.
9:26You had to use a computer, you had to
9:29label absolutely every file, rename it
9:32for SEO, and add all the tags you
9:35wanted. I mean, imagine, before posting
9:37an image, you sit there renaming every
9:40single file. And you write the titles
9:42and tags manually. All of that was,
9:44well, a real pain. And at the time it
9:46seemed to me that, yes, it works great,
9:48but it’s quite complicated, I want it
9:51simpler, and I will think about how to
9:53make it simpler. So I thought about it.
9:55And then it hit me, what if I start a
9:57personal page, because I’d been
9:59running Pinterest for them actively for
10:01half a year, everything was great,
10:02everything worked, I liked it a lot. I
10:04immediately saw the response from the
10:07platform, saw the views, saw the reach.
10:09The client saw it too, they liked
10:11everything. I thought: "Darn, I’m
10:12managing it for them, why can't I do it
10:14for myself?" At the time I was doing
10:16all this, let me remind you, I didn't
10:18have a personal brand. I mean, I was
10:20just a regular stay-at-home mom. I had
10:22my own Instagram with 500 followers. I
10:25had absolutely nothing else besides
10:27Instagram. Well, a VK page that had
10:29been around since 2009, you know. And,
10:32you know, there was certainly a sea of
10:34ambition to develop myself, but
10:36technically there was no time for
10:38myself. And I thought: "Why don't I,
10:41why don't I start my own page on
10:43Pinterest?" I started it. And those 500
10:46followers of mine on Instagram versus
10:49my first 17,000 views on Pinterest, of
10:52course, played a cruel trick on me.
10:55Because when I saw, wow, I'm struggling
10:58here with this new Reels format on my
11:00blog and they aren't getting anything
11:02at all. And here I posted a few
11:04pictures and I already had 17,000 views
11:06. For me, these were, you know, such
11:08wild numbers. I mean, I wasn't used to
11:11anyone noticing me, because the
11:13Instagram I'd been running had been
11:15quiet for almost 10 years, and here I
11:17jumped in and immediately got such a
11:19response. It inspired me insanely,
11:22cheered me up, and gave me the strength
11:24to keep moving forward. It was nonsense
11:26, absolute nonsense, to have anything
11:27take off on Insta, and then have this
11:29effect here. And of course, I was
11:31stunned that they noticed me so quickly
11:33. As for Instagram, I was already sure
11:36that I would never succeed in growing a
11:38blog, that those 500 followers of mine,
11:40just friends, would stay with me
11:42forever, because, well, I had tried
11:44everything, it felt like there was
11:46simply no hope left. So, you know, I
11:49sort of accepted the role of a shadow
11:51operator for myself, that yes, I’m
11:53great, of course, but one day, perhaps,
11:56I'll have time for myself, while for
11:58now I'll just be an SMM manager running
12:00projects. And I managed VK like that
12:03for another year, I managed Pinterest,
12:06and I managed Instagram for a client.
12:09What annoyed me the most, of course,
12:11was VK. It didn’t provide any
12:13response at all. And Instagram also
12:15went downhill because of the VPNs. Yes,
12:17our metrics were really bad in some
12:19areas. But Pinterest was the one thing
12:22that consistently made me happy, that
12:24brought me great pleasure and didn't
12:26require much involvement from me at all
12:28, which is the most important thing.
12:31After 2022, we got VPNs. Work with
12:34Instagram continued. Of course, nobody
12:36really left it. It’s clear that part
12:38of the audience dropped off, but still.
12:41At some point, I caught myself thinking
12:43that I was spending all my free time on
12:45the client. VPNs were still free back
12:48then, and constantly logging in and out
12:51was very difficult. I mean, it took
12:53twice as much time just to maintain the
12:55same social network. At this point, I
12:58should remind you that others started
13:01developing and many people were gaining
13:03an audience. I saw all of this, and I
13:06wanted the same. Naturally, I started
13:08to wonder, why am I any worse, why
13:10can't I do it too? I started getting
13:13angry at myself for not being able to
13:15devote enough time to myself, that all
13:17my free time went to the client, to
13:18stories that were no longer having any
13:20effect at all. And I was posting them
13:23almost without any days off. I had,
13:26mind you, one day off a week, on
13:28Saturday, and on Sunday we had a weekly
13:30segment for two years. I didn't really
13:34have any days off on Sunday, and
13:35Saturday wasn't much of a day off if
13:36you knew you had to post something the
13:38next day. Stories, let me remind you,
13:40are a format that you can't even
13:42schedule, meaning you have to post them
13:44in the moment. And that, to put it
13:46mildly, was not great. And of course,
13:49it all started to wear me down little
13:51by little, managing platforms, two out
13:53of three of which weren't giving any,
13:55you know, decent results, and you're
13:57constantly being nagged about every, I
13:59don't know, comma, about the number of
14:01subscribers, and so on. That’s not
14:03very good. My resources were dwindling
14:05to zero. I wanted freedom more and more
14:08. I was increasingly angry that I
14:10couldn't devote enough time to my own
14:12blog. But the most ridiculous thing was
14:14that all my attempts to raise my rates
14:17in this project, to be at least a
14:19little loyal to the client, to see some
14:21kind of development in this project,
14:23they all amounted to nothing. They made
14:26my place very clear, they made it clear
14:28that 30 was the ceiling, even more than
14:29what I was getting. Every time I tried
14:33to bring this up, the tone of our
14:34conversation would change, I was put
14:36back in my place, and shown how other
14:38employees were valued compared to me,
14:40partly because I didn't go to the
14:41office. It was remote work, like no one
14:45sees how hard I work every day. Anyway,
14:47there was a lot, let's not get into
14:49that right now. But what I know for
14:51sure is that Instagram brought and
14:53still brings good orders to the brand,
14:55thanks in part to the content I filmed,
14:58because they still use it today. At
15:00that moment, I wanted to leave more and
15:02more, but I held on to this opportunity
15:05, the opportunity for this income,
15:07because it suited me as a mom on
15:09maternity leave, yes, remote work, and
15:11overall we still had friendly, cordial
15:14relations with the client. We tried to
15:16maintain them well, despite all these
15:18moments. But I was mostly afraid of
15:20running out of money. That trap, where
15:23you depend on one source of income, it
15:26really had a grip on me. When I decided
15:29to run Pinterest for myself, and
15:31continued to enjoy it, yes, quietly, so
15:33to speak, I thought: "Why am I not
15:35talking about this in my blog? It's
15:37just so cool. Of all the platforms,
15:40this one is the one that really makes
15:41me happy and helps me. I even started
15:44getting followers there already. Why am
15:46I keeping quiet about this? Why am I
15:47keeping quiet about the fact that I run
15:48a client's Pinterest? And I started
15:50showing all of this, how many views the
15:52client has, what Pinterest brings. I
15:54just started posting stories about it.
15:57And when my 500 followers started
15:59giving me such crazy feedback on my
16:01stories, I thought, wow, like this
16:03topic is apparently potential, this
16:05topic is interesting. And what’s more
16:08, when I started sharing what I do,
16:11what I post on Pinterest, and just
16:13talking about Pinterest, I started
16:15getting inquiries for management
16:17through word of mouth from my 500
16:19friends. I mean, people were being
16:22nurtured just by my stories about
16:23Pinterest. They were interested in this
16:25topic. They were all looking for
16:27something new, something fresh, some
16:29new source of traffic, and so on. And
16:31they wrote to me:" Masha, help me.
16:33Masha, manage it for me, Masha, tell me
16:35how. "So, I realized that this topic is
16:37relevant. At that time, by the way,
16:39guides for subscriptions were becoming
16:41popular, and I quickly realized that
16:43too. One girl came across my Reels. She
16:46launched a Pinterest guide for
16:48designers. Basically, how a designer
16:50can grow on Pinterest. I saw it and
16:52thought," Wow, that's a brilliant idea.
16:54"And I wanted to create a Pinterest
16:55guide for everyone, for anyone. I
16:57called it: Pinterest for everyone. I
16:59really wanted an average person who,
17:01like me, was burnt out from Instagram,
17:03to start growing on Pinterest, to try
17:05running a Pinterest account, because
17:07based on the response from my followers
17:09, I was sure that few people knew about
17:11it. And that’s exactly how it was. At
17:13first, the videos I made for this guide
17:16didn't take off. It was a guide, and I
17:19think it was for a repost at first. But
17:21after a few attempts that I didn't give
17:24up on, one of my videos went viral,
17:27then another one right after. And so, I
17:30went from 500 followers to 14,000
17:32followers in just a couple of months
17:35over the summer. That was the summer of
17:372023. I personally sent the guide to
17:40everyone in DMs because there were no
17:42bots yet. And I came up with the funnel
17:45myself back then; I was probably one of
17:47the first ten people to think of
17:48throwing the guide into a Telegram
17:50channel and directing everyone there to
17:51get it. The channel wasn't even
17:53properly set up. I just had the guide
17:55there and wrote that it would get
17:57interesting on the channel soon. Stay
17:59tuned. People just stayed voluntarily.
18:01Overall, it was a" wow "moment. It was
18:03something new at the time. People were
18:05incredibly grateful for that guide.
18:06I’ve probably never received so many
18:08messages of gratitude. And now, when
18:11you send out some freebie on Instagram,
18:13nobody even says thank you. But back
18:16then, people were incredibly grateful;
18:18they really loved the information I was
18:20sharing. In short, I think I booked out
18:24my Pinterest consultation slots for two
18:27months in advance. In parallel, let me
18:31remind you, I was an active Pinterest
18:33manager, and from what I shared in my
18:35stories, yes, even with my 500
18:36followers, I got two more clients for
18:38Pinterest management. Why am I saying
18:41all this now? Because, yes, my audience
18:43grew, but at the beginning, when I just
18:46decided to share what I was doing, the
18:48fact that I was running a client's
18:50Pinterest account, I literally got two
18:52clients through word of mouth. One
18:55client was a wedding and evening dress
18:58tailor, and the second client was for
19:00Italian bags; one was international, a
19:02company from Montenegro, and the second
19:05was in St. Petersburg. So, back then,
19:09at that moment, I became a Pinterest
19:11manager, without even realizing how it
19:14all happened, with three accounts to
19:16manage, and I doubled my rate. Because
19:20for one account I was charging, I think
19:22, 15 to 20,000 per month at that time,
19:24and I doubled my income in just a
19:26couple of weeks, you know. I was
19:30honestly shocked that for just two new
19:32projects I was getting the same money I
19:35got for three social media accounts I
19:37managed for an SMM client, while
19:40spending significantly less time
19:42posting pictures on Pinterest. That the
19:45project which took all my strength, my
19:47resources, and my nerves wasn't that
19:49profitable for me anymore. Because I
19:52could earn the same money just by
19:54spending 2 hours a week. The project
19:58where I even posted stories on weekends
20:01, where I stopped being valued, didn't
20:03offer me any growth, even in a basic
20:06moral sense. Not to mention, when I
20:09started comparing the SMM specialist
20:11profession with being a Pinterest
20:13manager, I caught myself thinking that
20:15when I gave birth to my child a couple
20:17of years earlier, while doing SMM, I
20:19was posting stories from the maternity
20:21ward. I absolutely hate the stories
20:23format, it’s terrible. I have so many
20:25bad memories associated with it, you
20:26can't even imagine. And I am very glad
20:28that in the current reality, stories
20:30are starting to fade away. Just imagine
20:32, lying in the maternity ward, posting
20:34stories, or just posting pictures on
20:37Pinterest. Spending 2-3 hours a week on
20:39it. Well, the difference is obvious, I
20:41think. It started to dawn on me that I
20:43had been doing something wrong before,
20:45and that it could be done in a new way.
20:48And in general, yes, this thought:"
20:49Wait, was that even possible? "" Was it
20:51possible to do it differently? "Without
20:52getting scolded for every comma in the
20:54stories. And, of course, without being
20:56devalued. I realized that I could take
20:58on one more account, and another. I
21:00could earn 60, or even 100,000 rubles.
21:03On Pinterest. And I would be working
21:05for myself. I would have more free time
21:07for my child, for my own desires, and
21:10for my blog. I would literally create
21:12my own schedule. That’s just super.
21:14When the blog grew, I was already
21:16managing several accounts. I was
21:18already an active manager. I was
21:20already busy with Pinterest
21:21consultations. I mean, I understood
21:23that that was it, I was an expert in
21:25this field, this was my thing. And
21:27naturally, I dove even deeper into it.
21:29I’ve had so many stories, cases, and
21:32conversations with students, people
21:34coming for consultations, and brands.
21:37And you know, at that moment, I
21:39realized that Pinterest was exactly
21:41what helped me be seen, truly seen, and
21:44heard. It’s an incredible feeling.
21:47The inspiration, the peace, the comfort
21:49of this platform, and the lack of that
21:52endless content consumption like on
21:54that one famous app, well, it was a
21:56discovery and a big opportunity for me.
22:01Of course, when my blog grew, my SMM
22:04client found out and saw it, and we
22:06still tried to work for a while and
22:09keep things professional. But naturally
22:13, no one likes someone else’s success
22:15. At some point, I realized I just
22:16couldn't deal with them anymore, and I
22:18didn't want to. That moment when I had
22:21to be brave and say I was leaving—my
22:23growth, my financial situation, well,
22:25it wasn't exactly met with open arms;
22:28they didn't want to let me go. Being a
22:31good professional, I agreed to work for
22:33two more weeks. Just to mention, I
22:35wasn't officially employed there.
22:37Nevertheless, I worked those two weeks.
22:40Then they asked for another two weeks
22:42to train a new specialist. I passed on
22:45everything I had—all my skills and
22:46all my knowledge. What’s more, I even
22:48posted content for this specialist,
22:51even though I didn't have to anymore.
22:53In short, it was a long, tedious
22:54process to get out. And in the end,
22:56naturally, I became the scapegoat. They
22:59accused me of training the employee
23:01poorly, of leaving on bad terms, and of
23:04not dedicating enough time to it all.
23:07Even though I was working for free,
23:09mind you, and training them for free
23:11for the last, what? Four weeks, if not
23:13more. Well, naturally, it all ended
23:15miserably, and we parted on bad terms.
23:17I felt that all my hard work had been
23:19devalued. I won't say that I was just,
23:22you know, a little innocent lamb. I
23:23spoke my mind at the end, too, and
23:25probably dumped everything that had
23:26been bothering me. Considering I’m
23:29not a confrontational person at all, to
23:31push me to that point—well, I’m
23:33usually very patient. Yeah.
23:35Nevertheless, we parted ways badly. But
23:37even at that price, guys, how happy I
23:40was to finally be free. It's just
23:43impossible to put into words how glad I
23:46was to realize that was it—I was on
23:48my own, my own boss. I could take on my
23:51own projects, choose which ones to take
23:53, who to work with and who not to,
23:55dictate my own terms, show my
23:57professionalism, not be devalued, and
23:59so on. Despite such a bad ending and a
24:03bad price, I am incredibly grateful to
24:05that client, my customer and friend at
24:08the time, because thanks to their case,
24:11I made a name for myself and learned
24:13about Pinterest. They were the ones who
24:17showed me how Pinterest can work. This
24:20is a story for those who might be
24:22feeling burned out right now, who are
24:24managing accounts just like I once did
24:26for 30,000, 40,000, or maybe even
24:2820,000 still today. There are such
24:30people, I know for a fact. And,
24:32consequently, they are hitting a
24:34ceiling. Friends, please pay attention
24:36to the profession of a Pinterest
24:38manager. The market is still wide open.
24:42There are extremely few decent
24:43specialists. I mean, those who can
24:45provide high-quality help to businesses
24:47, manage accounts, and bring in great
24:50results—they are truly worth their
24:52weight in gold. By the way, what
24:54exactly does a Pinterest manager do in
24:56more detail? What do they earn money on
24:58? What does a business pay them for?
24:59I’ve covered the functional side in a
25:01separate video, which you can find on
25:03my channel. And I will definitely leave
25:05a link in the description now, go ahead
25:06and watch it. Two years into blogging,
25:10fast-forwarding to this point, I
25:12realized that I want to teach this
25:14specific profession, that I am ready to
25:16talk about it without inner pain, and I
25:18am ready to take responsibility for
25:21graduating top-tier specialists. During
25:24this time, I’ve already helped many
25:26brands and many bloggers. I even had my
25:29own Pinterest management agency a year
25:31and a half ago, but due to being so
25:33busy, I couldn't fully commit to it
25:35because I moved into educational
25:37products and blogging, and I can't
25:39devote enough quality time to brand
25:40promotion; I believe it's a separate
25:42profession, and I want to provide the
25:44market with great specialists. I am
25:47stating this right now with full
25:48responsibility. Today is a rather
25:51difficult time, we have many bans, but
25:53Pinterest is not banned. And, my God,
25:56it is so great at helping to attract
25:58organic traffic without any unrealistic
26:00investments in advertising. If you are
26:03a stay-at-home mom or an SMM manager
26:06tired of the constant search for
26:08clients, or maybe an online specialist
26:10or just looking for a new profession
26:12for extra income for a few hours a week
26:14, be sure to look into this profession.
26:19Moreover, friends, this platform itself
26:21will give you peace, confidence, and
26:24that inspiration it once gave me.
26:27Believe me, Instagram definitely won't
26:29give you that. May my story inspire you
26:32to always choose yourself, not to be
26:34afraid of stepping into the new, and to
26:36put yourself first. I will remind you
26:39that my first clients and my first
26:41income came when I had 500 followers on
26:43my blog. Simply because I started to
26:46make myself known, sharing what I do,
26:49and stopped putting myself last.
26:52Overall, from the height of my
26:53experience, I can say that my main
26:55failing was that I was very convenient.
26:59I was such a convenient girl, a
27:01convenient employee; I agreed to
27:03everything, compromised, and accepted
27:05every condition I was invited to or
27:07offered. But thank God that at some
27:10point—I don't know, maybe my frontal
27:12lobes finished developing—I realized
27:13that I needed to choose myself. Even if
27:16it meant losing something, even if it
27:19meant letting go of that 30,000 monthly
27:22income to open a new chapter in my life
27:24, because I knew that otherwise, I
27:26would be making the same wish every New
27:29Year for many more years. You know, if
27:33back in '22 someone had told me that
27:35today I’d be recording this video,
27:38running a blog—even several blogs—
27:40and that I’d have not 500, but nearly
27:4230,000 followers on Instagram, I
27:44certainly wouldn't have believed it. I
27:48also wouldn't have believed that I’d
27:50be launching my own products, teaching
27:52people, speaking at SPB Fashion Week,
27:54or being invited as a speaker by the
27:57Aesthetics Department or Fit Stars. I
27:59would never have believed that Gold
28:01Apple would offer me a collaboration.
28:03In short, of course, I wouldn't have
28:05believed that I could help hundreds—
28:08thousands now, yes—of people discover
28:11Pinterest and be free. I definitely
28:13wouldn't have believed it. But
28:16everything starts with a single
28:17decision. Trying to learn something new
28:20, trying to walk into your fear,
28:22sometimes allowing yourself to go
28:24beyond the usual, and of course,
28:25valuing yourself and your time. I
28:28really want as many people as possible
28:30to learn about the profession that
28:32changed my life. And I really don't
28:35want you to spend months, as I once did
28:37, studying information, piecing it
28:39together bit by bit, and bumping into
28:41the same obstacles I once faced. I want
28:44you to be able to reach your goals much
28:47, much faster. And, of course, be able
28:50to reach your first stable income much
28:52faster. That is exactly why today I
28:55created a comprehensive Pinterest
28:57Manager training course, the likes of
28:59which practically doesn't exist on the
29:01market, because it's not just some
29:03platform course on" How to run
29:04Pinterest, "but a full-fledged system
29:06containing everything: from
29:08understanding how the platform itself
29:10works to finding clients, managing
29:12projects, and increasing your income.
29:16If while watching this video you
29:17recognized yourself even once, or maybe
29:19caught yourself thinking," Damn, this
29:21is exactly what I need, "please check
29:22the description. I have left all the
29:25detailed information there about the
29:28product, the program, its content, and
29:30the next start date. A few years ago, I
29:34couldn't even dream that I would be a
29:36Pinterest expert, an entrepreneur with
29:39my own online school, and have students
29:43I would teach and open new
29:45opportunities for—people just like I
29:48once was, SMM specialists or
29:50stay-at-home moms, my dear ones. But
29:54the more I see the results of my
29:56students, active managers, the more I
29:58realize that it’s all worth it. Stay
30:01on my blog, watch more about Pinterest,
30:04and learn more about Pinterest. I have
30:06a lot of free information about it. And
30:09may it inspire you to make changes just
30:11as it once inspired me. That’s all.
30:14Sending a hug.
