Pinterest is Your Friend....

Until I took the time and really started reading posts about Pinterest, I didn't understand (or believe) that it had so much power.  Well, I've been working on this during the summer and I'm here to tell you - it does, it REALLY, REALLY does.  

Prior to the summer, I used Pinterest occasionally to pin items that I found to be interesting to me personally, not really caring if anyone else liked what I was pinning or not.  That was fine for that purpose.  However, I wanted to see if I could really increase traffic to my Teachers Pay Teachers store and therefore, increase sales.  The answer is, without a doubt, YES.  

​Now, in all honesty I had paid Pinterest to promote a few of my pins before sales and things but after that - well, see for yourself.  The number of monthly viewers has (at least for me) turned into increased sales that I could not have believed if I hadn't experienced it myself.  

Now, I'm not turning into Deanna Jump (but who is?), but I can tell you this increase will help me pay extra toward my student loans that I'm incurring while pursuing my doctorate and I am very grateful.  I'm also slightly proud of the positive reception my products have had from teachers.  I made them for myself in my own classroom and I'm so glad to see that other teachers find them as useful as I do.
