    If all of our followers, email subscribers, and social media accounts disappeared tomorrow, there's one platform we'd prioritize from day one: Pinterest (that we neglected originally).

    In this episode, we break down exactly how we'd use Pinterest to build an art business from scratch. Not to gain followers, but to attract buyers. From creating artwork-specific landing pages and optimizing for search, to building trust with collectors and generating long-term traffic, we're sharing the strategy we'd use to make Pinterest a consistent source of art sales. Kendal shares how she is doing this in *REAL* time and gives us practical tips to fold it into our everyday processes.

    If you've been treating Pinterest like social media, this episode may completely change the way you think about the platform.

    It can be lonely selling art every week without a solid group of like-minded friends. Meet your new business besties Kayla Cole Pacana (Art Business Coach) and Kendal Blanchard (Fine Artist from Fairhope, AL) as they dissect all things life, art, and business. Tune in to learn how to navigate the ups and downs of running your own creative business.

    SUMMER CHALLENGE

    What would happen if you had to step away from your business tomorrow?

    Whether it's maternity leave, a family emergency, burnout, a health challenge, or simply a much-needed season of rest, every entrepreneur will eventually face the question: Could my business keep going without me?

    In this episode of The Splatter Effect, we're continuing our "If We Had To..." series by discussing how we'd prepare our businesses for an unexpected break. We share the systems, team support, communication plans, and financial safeguards we'd put in place to protect both our audience and our peace of mind.

    If you've ever wondered whether your business depends too much on you—or if you're dreaming about taking a real vacation without checking your email every five minutes—this conversation is for you.

    You'll learn:

    • The biggest risks of stepping away unprepared
    • The things we'd prioritize before taking a break
    • How to keep serving customers while protecting your time
    • Why building a business that can function without you is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself

    Because sometimes the most responsible thing an entrepreneur can do isn't push harder, it's create enough margin to step away when life calls for it.
