MY FAVORITE PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE 53

The Power of Pinning

Did you know that I have a course that tells you everything you need to know about marketing on Pinterest? 

From the wedding industry to online education to launching my memoir, Pinterest is my #1 marketing strategy. 

Why? With Pinterest, I can share visual content that links directly to my website with a single click. And these pins don’t get lost in a newsfeed or hidden by an algorithm. They get pinned and repinned for years, and I get inquiries and purchases today from pins I created months ago. 

If you’re a wedding professional, newsflash! Brides are already hanging out on Pinterest! Stop using Pinterest just for inspiration and start booking your dream brides using Pinterest

If you need a Pinterest plan that is uncomplicated and easy to understand, you need my course, The Power of Pinning, taught by me and my personal Pinterest manager. Check it out at zimmermanpodcast.com/pinterest

Sleeping with a Stranger

Sleeping with a Stranger is officially available everywhere books are sold in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook. Since the book’s launch, I’ve been amazed by how it has been received. From being named a best seller by USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Amazon and Barnes & Noble to incredibly personal and touching reviews from my amazing readers, it’s been such a wild journey!

Here’s one of my favorite reviews…

“I just finished the book, I’m emotionally renewed. The book felt like a good cry, after all the tears, snot and pain, It felt like a refresh for myself. I felt connected to Jessica, but also Brian. I don’t know either of them personally but I felt like a best friend sitting there listening as a sounding board. There were moments where I was like a crazed football fan yelling at the tv, I would give advice to a digital book as if they were listening.”
