Since I got behind on YouTube videos while traveling, I went ahead and uploaded a second video today for the week.
Itās on choosing the niche for my new Pinterest project using the data in PinClicks. You can watch that video by searching on YouTube for: how to pick a profitable niche for Pinterest
One thing to note is that since recording the video, more votes have come in and $5,000/month is the current winner.
And before we move on, you wonāt hear from me for the next few days as Iām traveling again.

Now What?
Honestly, I suspect that I have my work cut out for me with this Pinterest race to $5,000/month.
Right now, itās looking like I wonāt be able to get started until Tuesday. Unless I end up with some downtime at the hotel.
Iām also working on fulfilling orders for Local Links Cupid and Growth Cupid. But hey, being busy is a good problem to have.
Anyways, with the crackdown on AI my goal is to find a way to not use too many AI images and then do heavy editing on the AI content. Iāll probably crank out some of the content myself every so often as well.
I might just go to the library and look for old recipe books that I can use by putting my own spin on them. Pair that with photos from Canva, and thatās that.
Side note: a couple of the people that I met up with last month are on Mediavine AND using AI content. Whatās wild is that both of them mentioned showing Mediavine how theyāre using AI to create content and MV was cool with it. One of them also mentioned being a heavy AI image user, not sure about the other person.
That being said, right now Iāll be going easy on the AI stuff. At least for a while.
Not that I plan on trying to get on Mediavine. Or that they would let me after all my criticisms š
Another side note while weāre talking about AI - this recent Google update has sent my raw AI content sites SOARING in the results.
