I've become a huge fan of tailwind in the last couple of months. I've found it to be the most intuitive of the pinterest schedulers that I've tried, and has the most features that make sense for my Pinterest strategy. It allows you to schedule the same pin to multiple boards at once, but space out when they go "live" on pinterest. It also allows you to connect with other bloggers and work together with them in tribes! There's much to love on ...
Ok, this is the question on everyone's lips these days: Why are my pageviews down? You were hoping to double your pageviews or hit that million this month and then you look & see the reality of your goals: lower views.

Make sure that some where in your post you have an ah-ha moment. You need something unexpected in your post or ...
Have you ever seen another blogger's post go viral and you think to yourself "I wrote on that exact concept a few months ago and no one cared???" It can be a bit frustrating, but rest assured this has happened to all of us. Sometimes it's just because the other blogger already has a larger platform with more people to share their content. Other times they may have just caught a lucky break or posted at the exact right time. But there are some ...
Ok, well... get ready for the moment of truth... I am not the best photographer. haha!! I try to take pictures of things that I blog about, but since I am also not the best baker, it kind of works out (because I don't have to take pictures of food too often). lol. So when my friend Khrista started her blog, EzeBreezy, and I saw her AMAZING pictures, like this one: So I asked her what she does to make it so amazing: She said ...
One thing that I don't like to do is to write a review, but you can write a sponsored post that is not a review. I make a lot of money on sponsored posts, so I want them to be great to keep the sponsor coming back again and again.
