What It’s About
Today’s caller seeks advice on where to send visitors from Pinterest.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1523
A listener is interested in Go Imagine, a new online marketplace that donates profits to charity.
She’s getting attention from her Pinterest pins and wants to know where to direct traffic—to the new marketplace, or somewhere classic like Etsy?
Hi, Chris, I’m Kim from Pennsylvania. I discovered the podcast a couple of months ago, and I’ve spent every morning since with you. I look forward to the 15 minutes of motivation on my commute, and I’ve learned a lot. So thank you. I’m hoping you can help me start today with a little insight. My goal for the New Year is to increase traffic to my business through social media. I’ve chosen to start by focusing on Pinterest, but I’m not sure how to best direct my efforts. I have an established Etsy shop that does well and I also just began listing my items on a new online marketplace Go Imagine.
I have high hopes for the new site. I love its concept as a caring marketplace that donates its profits to charity. I really think it’s going to grow, but it’s just not there yet. Since I can only add one URL to each pin, which site would you advise? I drive traffic to Etsy or Go Imagine. Or should I split my attention between them? Thank you. I really value your opinion and I would appreciate your help with this next.
