Pinterest Marketing Strategy for Authors

Do you know that Pinterest is one of the tools you might want to add to your marketing strategy as an author of you’re an author, trying to gain some traction.

I’ve seen many business blogs gaining traffic to their website merely by being active on Pinterest.

However, Pinterest is not a social media platform where you connect with your fans. You’re most likely to gain followers if you post tips and collections of useful information pertaining to your subject matter.

With that being said, you can also find other public boards related to writing and contribute to the boards by pinning interesting news from your blog posts.

I’m still learning how to optimize Pinterest for marketing but I thought this post of worth your time.

Today, I’d like to talk about family time. It’s so important in today’s busy world. When did we become such a busy society? We’re always doing instead of taking moments to enjoy each other and our family members. My kids are growing up way too fast. It’s driving me crazy how fast they’re growing up. I’m trying to slow it down, but I can’t. It’s like a runaway freight train. So, I try to plan family nights and we try to eat our evening meals together. We also try to have one evening of family time where we watch a movie together or play cards.

Will Writers Lose Their Jobs To Robots?

The Robots Are Coming by Andrés Oppenheimer

The Robots Are Coming by Andrés Oppenheimer

I have an app called Blinkist that I’ve downloaded on my phone. Blinkist is basically an app that offers you the essence of many non-fiction books. It’s a paid app and you need to pay too read most of the book summary.

You can click on the image above and it will take you to Blinkist, if you’d like to read “The Robots Are Coming” by Andrés Oppenheimer.

Well, there’s one thing about Blinkist that I have not told you yet. It offers you one free quick read everyday. Today, “The Robots Are Coming” was on my free reading list.

So, the book ideally discusses about who will lose jobs in the future and to what extent the loss would be. As I reach the end of the book summary, interestingly I noticed that those in the creative and entertainment industry are less likely to lose their jobs. This means that writers, like us, would be more needed than ever in the future.

I think that this is something I anticipated because think about a drama screen play. How can it ever be produced by machines when everything in it requires the human touch?

The other good thing that probably could arise due to automation, as mentioned in the summary, is the growth of culture.

Think about people who are so enthusiastic about producing documentaries. By having the mundane tasks being fulfilled by robots, they can now fully focus on exploring more exciting topics to be covered for us the audience.

Would this also mean that we would then have more time to pause, look around and learn to be more compassionate with one another?

I think it’s going to be a great time ahead.

Share your thoughts with me below as I’d love to understand your opinion on this too.

Love,
