😕 Pinterest

plus Reddit agency

It’s been hectic for me since my last email due to the Reddit agency work taking over my life.

I’m not joking.

In fact, I’m gonna need to hire more people in the coming months…so if you are interested I’ve got a form you can fill out at https://tally.so/r/gDGY4N

These days my life is get up early to start doing calls with potential clients + onboarding calls with new clients + results calls with existing clients.

It’s both not what I signed up for and also exactly what I’ve been working towards.

(Quick reminder - you can see my recent emails in the archive here)

Got a project that needs some backlinks?

Try Authority Backlinker (previously DigitalPRBacklinker.com)

Last time we talked I mentioned how everyone in the Raptive group on Facebook was talking about Pinterest marking their best performing pins as spam.

Everyone agreed it was a fluke.

Well, last week I FINALLY got a response back to ONE of my support requests.

As you can see, François informed me that they won’t be unblocking this site…but here’s the thing -

…it’s only a few pins that are blocked. The rest of them are 100% fine.

And yes, the link in the email goes to the spam guidelines, and that would be cool if this was one of my spammy test sites.

But it’s not!

At first I was going to give François a few choice words. Then I decided to not worry about it since the rest of the pins are fine.

Let François feel like the glorified hall monitor he is. And me, well, I’ll take this as a green light to actually do some spamming on Pinterest if I’m going to be accused of it anyways.

you know, if I ever have free time again … but seriously I do love having this problem with an agency even if it has grown much faster than I ever expected and I was not at all prepared with my current staffing.

Reminder: I’m going to be slowly hiring for Reddit agency peeps over the next few months - https://tally.so/r/gDGY4N

More on what I’m working on and how it’s going.

Stay awesome,
