Project 24 is our membership program that teaches you how to work toward replacing your current income with income from websites and KZbin channels in 24 months.
Project 24 is a product of Income School LLC. Results mentioned are not typical. The trademark “Project 24” refers to the goal of some people to create a successful business in 24 months, but is not a promise or guarantee of that success. Many online businesses fail because, like any business, it requires hard work, skill, and dedication. Before making business decisions, consult financial and legal professionals licensed in your jurisdiction.

I think it was three years ago I started a blog and struggled with creating it. Like most people, I haven't worked on it as much as I should and it's just hanging out doing nothing. Oh wait, it's me doing nothing, not the blog, it's waiting for me to make things happen. Thank you for all the information you share. Being retired my finances are very limited but from the time I started following you, I have wanted to enroll in Income School. I'm going to start saving my pennies so I can do it this winter and concentrate on my blog. You inspire me to do it. Now to figure out Pinterest, it's something I don't use and should. Thanks again.

Excellent, Ricky, awesome research and analysis and showing us how you did it as a deep dive as well. I have to come back to this again and again so I don't forget it. The steps you showed is practical and easy to follow as I do mine. Thanks as always. You have quite some expertise and broad :-) 👍

[@MadMadViking]

I've noticed my non-Google traffic has picked up as well since this last update

[@michellehouareau3615]

Great video Ricky thank you❤

[@mrengine]

Thanks for this info

[@PittsTake]

Great info, thanks

[@docutainment1852]

What kind of industries / businesses is Pinterest suitable for beyond fashion, cooking, lifestyle and hobbies?

[@IncomeSchool]

Great question. I’ll dive into this thoroughly soon.

[@altran1125]

Yea, it is mainly for art, fashion, cooking, and lifestyle types.

[@aprildoucette9552]

thank you, Ricky!

[@job6801]

Awesome Ricky. Eyeopener for someone who never embraced social media and so now issing out ob the benefits

[@ayafukuda2852]

Hi, do we pay extra money for the Pinterest course or is it included when purchasing the project 24?

[@IncomeSchool]

It’s included at no extra cost 😃

[@ayafukuda2852]

@@IncomeSchool thank you!

[@ciprodriguez]

Will you talk about Universal analytics coming?

[@karenbishop9421]

How do you source photos? Do you have a stock photo site you recommend? I'm thinking of starting a blog, but I don't have a good camera. I heard Pinterest likes unique photos.

[@IncomeSchool]

Unique photos are definitely best. We’ve used 123RF for stock photos for a while and they have a good selection. Now I try to take as many of my own photos as I can so they’ll be unique.

[@nabilnawaz9332]

2:07 EXACT situation for me as well! :(

[@Tonemind]

Can I use it to send people to a Wordpress store?

[@IncomeSchool]

Absolutely. Kara uses it to send traffic to her store on her site and to Etsy directly.

[@iriskarakas8807]

At last! Pinterest😃

[@Ehtizan-Editor3]

Hey income School, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel

[@altran1125]

lol dont make me laugh man. They have software for that now that is cheap monthly.

[@MohamedAli-eo2iz]

Let the man finish his proposal

[@OliviasWorldOfTech]

Can being on Pinterest have a negative effect on Google ranking?

[@KaraBuntin]

no, they're not connected.

[@digitalbizweb]

After what we've faced in the last year. I wouldn't want to let what Google thinks or wants decide what I do with my website. But yeah, Kara's right.

[@SleazyNinja]

So Tailwind is worth it again?

[@IncomeSchool]

Nope. You can do everything you need without using any paid scheduling tool.

[@SleazyNinja]

@@IncomeSchool I agree but years ago they had this feature called "Tribes" where other people would share your pins on their boards. I used to get good traffic (lower quality though) from those. Then Pinterest did their updates and it kind of became redundant. Do you think those Tribes would still be worth it?

[@SleazyNinja]

@@IncomeSchool I agree but they had this thing called "Tribes" (it's been years so I think that's what it's called) where other people would share your pins on their boards and vice versa. Some of those had hundreds of thousand of monthly views. Do you think that would still be useful or just do everything as organically as possible? Pinterest has changed a lot...

[@SmittySahn]

or.... or.... I took an entire Saturday... Had chatgpt build me a python script to scrape that info off my own websites and then I used a program to create all the pins for me and scheduled them out. And now I have 2,000+ Pins scheduled out to post to my boards at about 10~15 a day until 2025. :D

[@codydodd5313]

@@SmittySahn I’d like to know more. This could make a great product for you to sell!

[@digitalbizweb]

Just build this product man. I would if I could. We could work together if you want.

[@dhruvd8953]

I thought Etsy saved you

[@IncomeSchool]

When did I say that? Check again.

[@electronicearnings]

Didn't you give this website away in a competiion?

[@IncomeSchool]

Yep, at least we tried to. The winner stopped responding after a few emails and never transferred the domain. After 2 years and multiple follow ups I decided it was probably okay to move on.

[@digitalbizweb]

​@@IncomeSchoolwow! You'd give away a whole website. 👍🤝

[@Peak195]

@@IncomeSchool It's amazing how unresponsive people are in general. I find it a big challenge. People fill out a contact form, get a fast comprehensive reply, and we never hear from them again even if following up. If they're not interested they don't care to communicate that I guess. It would be an interesting topic to research what's causing this and how to get more out of leads. Just knowing why they're not interested would be very valuable.
