Hey yall! It's almost August and it's time for so many things: school to start back (maybe different this year), back to routines, getting ready for fall, only a few months away from the holidays, getting closer to the end of the 3rd quarter, and getting closer to 2021!
I have to say I'm excited it's August as I have some big things coming up in the business as well as moving in our house in Alaska which I've been so ready to get into (been moving and in a hotel since Father's Day!). Can you say cook and get that new office set up? YES!
It's now time to start pinning your August pins and plan content and your pins for upcoming things like the holidays! I know August may seem early but not for Pinterest. But to create valuable content it can be timely and you need to start now. You'll want to start pinning these holiday things as early as next month. So if you want the best results, it's all about planning those pins out this month so you can be ahead of the game!
