Your Next Chapter Podcast Episode 49: Penney Fox – Sharing Pinterest Secrets

WEB Episode 49-Penny Fox

Penney was, in her own words, “terrified” when she left her corporate job, wondering how on earth she would ever be paid again. That’s a familiar feeling for many of us who step out into a whole new world when we leave the security of a weekly paycheck behind.

It wasn’t easy at first, but Penney soon began to realise that trial and error and the courage to say yes to opportunities even when she was not entirely sure she had all the answers were the keys to growth and confidence.

“I was so happy to realise that the things I’d done in my 20’s, 30’s ad 40’s, none of them had been wasted, it’s all connected and every single experience I had has been of value for my business and life today”

Show Notes

Stepping into Your Next Chapter is a huge learning curve, especially when you are starting a business, and there is no doubt that you have skills to share that others will benefit from. Penney’s area of expertise is Social Media, with a specific emphasis on Pinterest.

  • Always approach Social Media with a strategy and a plan, even at its simplest – no more “post and hope!”
  • What’s the final result you want? People to visit your website? Listen to your Podcast? To opt in for something? Sign up for a program?
  • You are likely to start with a focus on the actions you take when you really should be thinking about the outcomes you’re seeking and reverse engineering those
  • Pinterest is actually a visual search engine, rather different from traditional social media – people on the platform are actively looking for something to buy 70% of the time!
  • It’s hugely popular because we are such visual creatures
  • You can use social media authentically and effectively, combining your natural communication style with the platform that appeals to you and your clients
