Helping Others with Free Marketing Tips and Tools Resource Page


Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I love to help others with free marketing tips and tools.

I have compiled a page of tips and free tools that you can use online.

I can help others in reaching their goals because of the help I have had from others in the online community. I will name three marketers who are wonderful examples of this tradition- Fred Lam (Facebook/Shopify marketer extraordinaire), Anthony Morrison, and Marian (Marian's IM Tips).

The value they give to others with their free tips is nothing short of amazing. At the beginning of one's journey, either blogging or working online in marketing, you simply don't know enough to be of great service to others and give a load of freebies.

So you need time to follow the influencers ie. after you have worked out who the influencers are! You get good advice- and you get bad advice- and sometimes you just get overwhelmed with offers and advice.

The white noise is deafening so you have to start culling your engagement.  Personally, I hate it when I sign up with someone to get something that looks like a good offer and I get barraged with their affiliate offers in their next email.

Please, let me get to know you first before we get married. I do understand that we have to make a living so you will present me with affiliate offers but date me first. So now that I have more 'kudos' about working online as a blogger and as a marketer, I am now sharing some tips and tools with you.

They are freebies that I have found useful or have developed myself for you to use. They are free to use. You can bookmark the page so it is easy for you to find! As a blogger, I initially blogged about Health and Wellness but decided to blog about marketing as I thought it was a good way for me to grow my knowledge about online marketing strategies. I find that some aspects of Health and Wellness are vital to bloggers and marketers, namely motivation, self-care, thankfulness or gratitude (attitude) and mindset.

If you don't pay attention to these factors, it reflects in your health and success in your work online.

So I find the blend of the two themes for my blogs to have been beneficial to me. For those of you who would like to have more tips and tools, I have so much to offer you. Often, we tend to get in a cycle of better-known strategies that everyone uses, and it is good to know other strategies that the influencers use, as well. If you do want more strategies, tips and tools, you have the opportunity when you visit this page to get them!

Pinterest Tips-How to grow your following successfully without automation







I decided   to write a short post on Pinterest Tips-How to grow your following successfully without  automation for two reasons:

1. It works and you should always be ready to add another string to your bow. New or different strategies in blogging or online marketing are always valuable.

Pinterest also rewards manual pinning by putting more of your pins in the feed.

2. There are times when 'life happens' in unexpected ways and we need to look for different strategies. The accumulation of monthly fees, especially if something unexpected happens, is tough for some people. 

The monthly fees add up and some people need to make choices and a brief (or longer) stint away from automation tools may be necessary.  

It can also help newbies understand the power they have sharing other people's posts, outside automation tools, when working online.  


Your Pinterest Tips


It's difficult to pin  50-100  pins a day, spaced out at optimum times. if you are working out of the home, so you can:

1. Go into your home feed and pin from your feed throughout the day. You only need to pin 2 or 3 (as many times as you can afford timewise) times a day to notice your followers going up on a daily basis, at a good rate.

I pin about 5 pins each time, sometimes less and sometimes more. But I always get a good result with followers the next day.

Make sure that some of these pins are not only from your followers but in your niche. 

This is super important as you want to introduce new followers and not just get pinned by your followers.

Click on a pin that is from your niche and that will take the pin onto a new page and out of your feed. 

You can follow up by checking out who pinned the pin or find the origin of the pin next to the pin, at the top right. 

Go to the profile of that person and choose to follow all or some boards. Pin one of their pins from a board, as well.

You will see what keyword suggestions come up next to their boards if they do not have a business account yet, and then make a better decision as to whether you would like them as a follower.

You would also get some 'love' if you pin others' pins to your group boards!

I usually have quite a few daily pins on Tailwind (75-100) and, believe me, if you're stuck and can't fund the automation, this method requires fewer pins to be pinned but will get you followers.

People like variety in their feed and they like to be pinned also!

2. Go into Tailwind.  

If you have had an account as you can still use Tailwind Tribes to find good pins in your niche.

 You will not be able to put them into a queue but you can click on the url at the bottom of the pin.


See if you like the pin, then share it from their website to Pinterest. Then send them a note on Tailwind Tribes to tell them you shared their pin.

Hopefully, they will go into your pin feed on Tailwind Tribes and share one of your pins.

One thing I always do is send a 'thank you' to anyone who shares one of my pins from Tailwind Tribes and then I reciprocate. 

People will follow up with you down the track.



3. You can find lots of great tweets on Twitter so you can share these, as well, if they have a suitable Pinterest-sized image. 

4. If you are in other bloggers' groups, e.g. Facebook, share their posts, if they have a Pinterest pin. Or you could also share your pin here.

The power of pinning quality pins from other people will show in your follower rate. 

It is noticeable daily and a great reward for sharing from the Pinterest community.

Tailwind is great and has its purpose but it must be teamed with manual pinning also, for maximum effectiveness. 

Pinterest is actually rewarding you for visiting your Home Feed and pinning from there.

Pinterest wants you to actually visit their site, not just automate your pins by queuing them on Tailwind.

When I first started blogging, the more experienced bloggers advocated the 80:20 rule to get followers-80 pins that belong to others in your niche, and 20 of your pins. 

This makes sense as you have a greater chance of getting your pin in front of their followers, not just your own followers. 

So don't be discouraged if you have come upon 'tight financial times'- you can still move ahead on Pinterest!
