It started out as just an ordinary Tuesday when my car wouldn’t start—not even a single click to give me hope. Then, two days later, as if the universe wasn’t done with me, the refrigerator decided to join the rebellion, promptly turning my kitchen into a glorified cooler. But of course, things didn’t stop there. Just when I thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, the filtered water faucet decided to put on a dramatic performance, spraying water everywhere like a whale’s blowhole. Oh, and let’s not forget the toilets, which flat-out refused to refill after flushing, as if they were auditioning for the role of “Most Useless Appliance of the Year.”
All of this happened within 30 days.
Yep, one month. Four essential household items. Dead. Gone. Buried.
Now, let me be real with you—if this had happened a few years ago, we would have been in full-blown panic mode. Back then, an expense like this would have immediately sent me scrambling, trying to figure out which bill I could “accidentally forget” to pay just to cover the cost of even one repair. And honestly, fixing all of them? That wouldn’t have even been on the table.
However, this time was completely different.
So, what changed? Well, a while back, I made a critical decision: I decided to start building multiple streams of income. And let me tell you, that decision changed everything.
And let me tell you, that decision saved our butts.
Why You Need More Than One Stream of Income
Life happens. Appliances break, car repairs pop up, unexpected medical bills land in your mailbox, and suddenly you’re drowning in expenses you didn’t see coming.
If you’re relying on just one source of income, these moments can feel catastrophic. Trust me—I’ve been there. But when you’ve got multiple streams of income, it’s like having a safety net under your family’s budget. It cushions the blow so you can handle life’s curveballs without spiraling into financial chaos.
How to Use Pinterest for Business: The Game-Changer You Didn’t See Coming
Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Pinterest? Isn’t that just for recipes, DIY crafts, and wedding mood boards?” let me stop you right there.
Pinterest is NOT just a pretty collection of photos or ideas. It’s a search engine … and one of the most powerful tools you can use to grow a business, drive traffic, and (yes, you guessed it) even make money.
Here’s why learning how to use Pinterest for business should be on your radar:
1️⃣ It’s NOT social media.
No awkward dance trends or endless scrolling needed here (sorry, TikTok fans). Pinterest users are actively searching for solutions, ideas, and products … they're ready to take action.
2️⃣ Pins work for you over time.
Unlike social media posts that fizzle out in 24 hours, Pins have a long lifespan. Your content can keep gaining traction and bringing in traffic weeks, months, or even years after you’ve posted it.
3️⃣ It connects you with an engaged audience.
Pinterest is the perfect place to showcase your products, services, or ideas to people who are actively searching for them. That means you’re not just hoping for likes … you’re connecting with potential customers who are already interested.
Here’s the kicker: I’ve learned that Pinterest isn’t just for pinning dream vacations or holiday recipes. It’s a platform that can help you build multiple streams of income … the kind of income that saved my family from financial chaos during our infamous “Month of Appliance Tragedies.”
From a car that wouldn’t start to a refrigerator-turned-cooler and a faucet spraying water like a geyser, I could have easily been drowning in financial stress. But thanks to the skills I developed using Pinterest for business, I had the resources to handle it all … and even keep my sanity intact.
If you’ve been sleeping on Pinterest, it’s time to wake up. It’s not just a platform … it’s a game-changer. And the best part? You don’t need to be tech-savvy or a social media guru to make it work for you.
Curious about how Pinterest can help you create multiple streams of income, too? You’re going to want to join my friends' Pins to Paychecks Webinar on January 30th. Trust me, this is the training that can help you go from “just pinning for fun” to “pinning for profit.”
But I’m Over 50 and Not Tech-Savvy… Can I Really Do This?
Short answer: YES.
Listen, I get it. Starting something new can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not naturally tech-savvy. But Pinterest isn’t about being perfect or knowing everything upfront … it’s about starting.
You don’t need to be a tech wizard to learn how to use Pinterest to grow a side hustle, attract new clients, or even launch a business from scratch. You just need the right guide.
