💥 What’s Trending Leverage the power of trends on TikTok/Instagram for increased reach & engagement.
I pay attention to things most people ignore…
Creators are using this sound from Olivia Rodrigo’s new song to share something they always notice. Be sure to have on-screen text that says: “I pay attention to things most people ignore” and then write in brackets something that you always notice. Here’s a great example.
How disappointing is that question?
To join this trend, use on-screen text to share a question someone would or has asked you that was disappointing (or turned you off). Be sure to lip sync to this sound from Rihanna. Here’s and example and here’s another.

Make a short skit to emphasize your stance on something. Here’s a good example, a woman adds on screen text that says “Please don’t kiss my kids,” then acts as the other person and mouths “Why not?” Then it goes back to the first position and the creator lip sync’s “B*tch I said what I said.” This trending sound could be used to emphasize a thought or hot take in any industry.

🌟 Creator Spotlight From Pins to Profits: How One Pinterest Creator Made $13k in 3 Months!
Today, we're shifting our focus to Pinterest, a platform many have loved for its plethora of inspiration. But while we've been pinning our favorite recipes or DIY hacks, there's someone who has truly cracked the Pinterest code for business success: the savvy creator behind 'Millennial Nextdoor’ aka Jennifer Leach.
She started on not just as an enthusiast, but with a strategic eye. Curating and crafting content from remote work tips to personal finance advice, she managed to grow her following to 15,300 in just two years. (She’s now at over 27k followers on the platform).
Now that's some strategic pinning.
What's her story? This creator didn't just hang out on Pinterest for inspiration. She saw an opportunity. She nurtured her profile, creating and curating content about everything from remote work to finance. And, within two years, boom! Over 15,300 followers.
The Accidental Discovery Now, here comes the fun twist. Just when you think you know a platform inside out, it throws a surprise. Enter: Pinterest Creator Hub. A by-chance discovery for our creator, this turned out to be a gold mine, fetching her close to $13,000 in three months! 💰
What’s the Magic Potion? It's the Pinterest Creator Rewards program. In simple terms: accomplish campaign goals, get paid. The magic lies in consistency and aligning with campaign targets. Whether it's creating a pin that amasses 100 saves or consistently posting idea pins, each effort counts.
So, what's the catch? Consistency, my friends. While some might find it tempting to bombard their boards with their content only, remember: it's all about balance. A mixture of personal and others’ content is the key. Moreover, with video content making waves on Pinterest, it's no wonder our creator focuses her energies on idea pins – an engaging feature that's pretty fresh in the Pinterest arena.
The Big Takeaways for Fellow Creators
Evolve with the Platform: Just as our creator embraced the new idea pins and started integrating video content, always be on the lookout for platform innovations. These fresh features can often be your ticket to gaining more traction.
Analytics is Your Best Friend: Pay attention to what's working. Is there a specific pin that's getting crazy engagement? Delve deeper. Maybe it's time to create a series around it.
Balance is Key: Don’t drown your followers with just your content. The mantra is simple: mix, mingle, and then stand out!
Dedication and Consistency: Spend time each day to nourish and grow. Our creator spends roughly 20 minutes daily. It might seem like a tiny commitment, but remember: tiny droplets make the mighty ocean.
In a world saturated with content creators, what makes you stand out is often not just what you create, but how you leverage the platforms you're on. Our creator’s journey with Pinterest is an exemplary testament to that.
To all the creators out there, let this be a nudge: sometimes, it’s not about seeking new platforms, but understanding and evolving with the ones you’re already on. Happy pinning! 📌🎉
