Hello and welcome to your weekly dose of Pinterest marketing education.

I'm writing this on August 31, listening to Taylor Swift's August. I can't believe it's the end of summer, but frankly, I'm ready for it. My kids are rolling back into town from being gone all summer, the backpacks dusted off, family meetings commencing, and work schedules tightened up. I'm thankful for the routine after a very odd summer.

A few things I want to tell you:

1. I'm playing around with Tailwind's MCP after I brought it up in last week's Kate's Take. A few brave team members like it, and a few SPM Insiders are joining the trend as well.
2. We're managing for a few Amazon Influencers as beta clients for a new package testing out conversions and what type of sales we can generate for them. If you're interested, reply and let us know. We haven't publicly released the details on our site, but we have them in a Google Doc we can send your way to learn more.
3. The Shop tab showed up!! WHAT? This was only on one account, but reports are swirling that the feed is being changed up. This always causes glitches so don't be worried if that happens to you.

This Week's Simple Pin Podcast

I'm eager to introduce you to my friend Terry. We met in Puerto Rico at the TBEX conference, and she taught me how to play craps LOL. More on that another day. For this podcast, we covered her pivot from a TpT seller to a travel creator and how the sales from Pinterest helped her with that transition. I admire Terry for her commitment and dedication to her pivot and the inspiration she brings to those looking to do the same. I hope you're inspired by this if you're looking to pivot to a new industry as well.
