Blogger Interview: Sharing Pinterest Marketing Ideas with Jeff Sieh

I shared my best Pinterest marketing ideas in this interview with Jeff Sieh. But first, let me tell you a little about Jeff. He's the man behind the widely popular Google+ Hangout series called The Manly Pinterest Tips Show.

Yes, that's right, men love Pinterest too!Pinterest Marketing Ideas with Jeff Sieh

Jeff is also making a name for himself in the world of  video production and social media management with His Design Online, the company he started a few years back.

I think Jeff is the perfect person to advocate for the wide spread adoption of Pinterest by men around the world. I love when he talks about how he and his daughter have secret boards on Pinterest that are just for the two of them. Pretty cool right!

The Manly Pinterest Tips Interview

With all that Jeff has going for him when it comes to social media and especially Pinterest, you can just imagine how thrilled I was when he asked me to be on his Manly Pinterest Tips Show. Previous guests on his show included the likes of Shannon Hernandez, Rebekah Radice, Peg Fitzpatrick, Kim Vij and the list goes on. Jeff is so well liked that he has even been able to interview the folks from Pinterest analytics and scheduling apps like TailwindApp and Ahalogy.

Don't worry if you're not familiar with Tailwindapp or Ahalogy because I go into detail about how those tools can be used to improve your Pinterest marketing efforts.

So without further ado, here's the recording of the Hangout on Air event called Driving Traffic with Pinterest
