WAHM Business: Pinterest vs. Youtube -- Which is better at getting you leads for your direct sales party plan business?


Here's the story:
Sure you know them, but taking a look deeper can show you how to make them work for you! First you have to understand what these platform are for and how they really work.


Youtube
PROS: Very interactive! Great for those who like to talk, be on camera and show how to do something. Perfect medium for engaging people quickly.
CONS: A hungry audience can lose interest quickly if you don't put out consistent content. Feeding the beast is a lot of work.

Pinterest: great at getting traffic and showing your products visually. Best for those who don't want to have to do their hair and makeup to get on camera.
CONS: Takes a few more steps to engage people, but it's growing quickly. Must have good photos and be able to capture and audience in a few words to get interest in your pins.
So...which is best for you?


 Either is a TRAFFIC platform meaning they are specifically for driving viewers and traffic to YOU.

Twitter doesn't do that.
Facebook prefers you stay on their site vs. going off-site--not great for driving off-site traffic.
Snapchat is way too brief to engage anything.

Modern marketers and networkers are using both Youtube and Pinterest to drive traffic, sales, recruits to them.

If you'd like to know how to do this, and do it well, on a CONSISTENT basis, stay tuned. I have a FREE training program coming out that I think you'll find very useful!

Personally, I like both platforms, but I will tell you that Pinterest brings in more leads for me. I don't like constantly having to do videos. I do sometimes when i fee there is a good reason, but they are a lot of work to do (for me). 

Pinterest I can sit down and knock out several pins plus a good article and drive traffic in about an hour. It's easy...no hair and makeup required!
I created a board about a month ago and worked on it for about a week. It started to grow and bring interest.
Since then I haven't touched it in about a week and it's already at over 10K views a month. I'm working on followers...under 100 right now.
But "followers" is different on Pinterest.
Sure they are good to have, like subscribers on Youtube, but views is really what you want, since most people will click on things that catch their interest without having to sit through a video. It's fast traffic.
MORE VIEWS = MORE CLICKS = MORE TRAFFIC
However, you've engaged more on Youtube so a click-thru is more likely REALLY interested vs. a quck click on Pinterest.
Or, is it?

INTERVIEW: Lynne Cooper Hall - Younique Opportunity: See New 3D Lashes!

1. Tell us about your business opportunity--what do you represent? Younique Minerals Cosmetics 2. How long have you been involved with this? How did you get into it? I fell in love with the 3D lashes by Younique because I discovered that fake lash glue has Formaldehyde in it!! Like the stuff in embalming fluid! The Younique 3D mascara uses all natural green tea fibers (I could almost hear my eyes saying thank you!). It was soon after finding the 3D lashes that I realized that ALL the other products that Younique offers have the same amazing results with none of the nasty, fillers, paraben free, talc free, never tested on animals and hypo-allergenic. I started my business in 2013 and we've been steadily growing ever since! 3. What type of team members are you looking for?

This is a GREAT business for WAHM’s because the plat

WAHMS: Build an amazing leads base with these tips

Tip One Build an amazing lead base by getting your business in front of as many people as you can. You can offer to do public speaking (too scary?), or give away samples/catalog at other sellers' parties or get a local leads group going (swap leads with other direct sales pros).

It seems the most daunting task for most small businesses, but it is the one that pays off the largest. Once you find a lead-generating system that works and isn't too painful :), you'll do it!

How to Get Direct Sales Leads from Amazon (Paid Free to You Leads)

How to Get Direct Sales Leads from Amazon on Autopilot This is a simple method! First, decide  on a niche for your products/business. For example, if you sell essential oils, one niche could be how they are used to help alleviate migraine headaches. Write several articles (ORIGINAL CONTENT) or have them written on this topic.  Articles could be similar to: Type of essential oils to use What oils do what Why they work on headaches Why they are good for migraine sufferers Why they are better than drugs/pills How they work on the system Etc.
