Yes!  Should I use my regular VA or social media manager for Pinterest? Since Pinterest is not really a social media site, regular VAs may not understand exactly how Pinterest works.      COME VISIT JULIE!  Get on the email list AND get the FREE Ultimate Course Creators Planner -  https://coursecreatorshq.com/2024PlannerPodcast  Get this free course -  Is My Course Idea Any Good? here -https://www.coursecreatorshq.com/ideaGoodPods Let’s talk about this episode on GoodPods – https://CourseCreatorsHQ.com/goodpods (mobile only, download the app first) Website https://www.CourseCreatorsHQ.comFacebook https://www.facebook.com/CourseCreatorsHQInstagram  https://www.instagram.com/CourseCreatorsHQTwitter https://www.Twitter.com/CourseHQThreadshttps://www.threads.net/@coursecreatorshq  Disclaimers  https://coursecreatorshq.com/disclaimers/
