Can You Actually Make Money with Pinterest Ads?

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably asked yourself at some point: “Are Pinterest ads even worth it?” In a world that screams about Instagram trends and TikTok hacks every five seconds, Pinterest feels like this quiet, often-overlooked little corner of the internet.

But here’s the thing. That “quiet corner”?

It’s filled with buyers. Not just scrollers. Not just people looking for entertainment. People actively searching for ideas, products, and services—and making decisions.

And if you show up at the right time, in the right way?
Yes, you absolutely can make money with Pinterest ads.
I know because I’ve done it. And today, I’m pulling back the curtain to show you exactly how.

Why Pinterest Ads Are Different (And Why That Matters)

First, let’s clear something up: Pinterest is not a social media platform.

It’s a search engine—with pictures.

That means when people log onto Pinterest, they’re not looking to kill time like they might on Instagram or Facebook. They’re searching. They’re planning. They’re shopping.

Think about it:

Brides planning their weddings.

Moms decorating nurseries.

Entrepreneurs looking for marketing strategies.

Homeowners searching for renovation ideas.

Business owners researching new tools.

When someone finds your product, service, or resource through a Pinterest ad, it doesn’t feel intrusive. It feels like they found exactly what they were looking for.

And that, my friend, is why Pinterest ads convert so beautifully when done right.

How I Started Making Money with Pinterest Ads

A few years ago, I made a decision: I wanted to grow my business without relying so heavily on social media. I didn’t want to be chained to my phone 24/7, chasing engagement and algorithms.

So I doubled down on long-form marketing (like my blog), SEO, and Pinterest.

At first, I was all about organic Pinterest traffic (which is amazing, by the way—and still a huge part of my strategy). But when I decided to test out Pinterest ads? Everything changed.

I started small—about $5 to $10 a day—testing simple campaigns promoting my best-selling products and services.

And what I found absolutely changed the way I think about marketing:

Over the last few years, I’ve spent $41,000 running Pinterest ads to promote a single digital product.

And from that one product?

I’ve generated over $684,000 in revenue.

Let’s break that down:

That’s a 1,568% return on ad spend (ROAS)

For every $1 I spent on Pinterest ads, I made $16.68 back

That’s the kind of performance most ad platforms DREAM about delivering

And it’s been almost entirely powered by Pinterest ads + my email list—no daily posting, no viral Reels, no constant burnout

This strategy didn’t just boost my revenue—it gave me my freedom back.

I built a system that quietly worked behind the scenes, allowing me to grow my business while being present with my family, without needing to hustle around the clock.

No massive ad agencies. No complex funnels.

Just a simple, sustainable strategy that kept working for me, month after month.

How to Actually Make Money with Pinterest Ads

Now, here’s where most people go wrong: They jump in without a plan. They run ads for the wrong products. Or they target the wrong audience. Or they create beautiful pins… but link them to confusing landing pages.

If you want your ads to actually make money (and not just rack up impressions), here’s what you need to know:

1. Start with Your Best-Seller

Don’t try to use Pinterest ads to “save” a product that isn’t selling organically. Promote your best-seller—the thing you know people already want.

Ask yourself:

What product or service has already proven itself?

What offer feels like a “no-brainer” for my ideal customer?

What solves a clear, urgent problem?

Start there.

The “I’m Not For Everyone” Content Prompt

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025

Content Prompt: I’m not for everyone—and that’s a good thing. If you’re looking for [X], we probably won’t vibe. But if you want [Y], then you’re in the right place. Here’s why I do things differently, and why that might be exactly what you’ve been needing.

Copywriting Formula: Polarizing POV + Clarity

This week’s content prompt is all about standing tall in what makes your business unique.

By owning your perspective and getting clear about what you don’t do, you make room for your dream clients to lean all the way in. That’s the magic of a Polarizing Point of View (POV) – it doesn’t mean you’re being controversial for the sake of it. It means you’re being clear.

This is your permission slip to say, “This is who I am, this is how I work, and this is why it works.”

Why It Works:

Because clarity is magnetic.

In a noisy online world, people are craving honesty, realness, and someone who knows exactly what they stand for. When you confidently communicate who you’re for (and who you’re not), you build trust faster and attract the people who are already aligned with your style, your values, and your offer.

This kind of content weeds out the wrong fits and draws in the people who will love what you do—and stick around for the long haul.

Wordsmith Instructions:

Use this content prompt to draw a bold line in the sand. Write a post that highlights what you don’t offer, what you do, and why your approach is intentional. Share a little behind-the-scenes or personal story that reinforces your perspective.

New to Wordsmith? Just drop in this content prompt and a few details about your business. Wordsmith will create a blog post, newsletter, and social captions that sound like you and speak straight to your dream clients. It makes content creation faster, easier, and way more aligned.

How to Use This Prompt:

Start with something your business isn’t

Share what your business is

Explain why this difference matters

End with a CTA that invites your people in

Example Post Using This Prompt:

I’m not the kind of business that teaches you to post 5 times a day and hustle harder.

If you’re looking for fast hacks and overnight wins, I’m probably not your girl.

But if you want to build a sustainable, aligned business that grows with intention—welcome. You’re in the right place.

I built Wordsmith for people who want to connect with their audience, not just convert them. For people who believe their message matters and want content that reflects their values, their voice, and their heart.

You won’t find one-siz

Redefining Success: A Life Beyond Social Media

A few years ago, I thought having a big following meant I was successful. I measured my momentum by how many likes I got, how many new followers clicked over, how often my content was shared. Back then, the numbers felt like a reflection of my worth. They were the proof I thought I needed that I was doing something right.

But somewhere along the way, I started asking a harder question:

What does success really look like—for me?

And the honest answer? It didn’t look like constantly chasing content ideas or feeling the pressure to stay “on” just to be seen. It didn’t look like growing an audience just for the sake of growth.

Instead, success looked like freedom. Like peace. Like getting to be home with my kids, working on projects I love, and building something meaningful without having to share every moment of it online.

Stepping Away From the Metrics

My real reward hasn’t been growing a large social media following. It’s been building a business that doesn’t depend on one.

And I’ll be honest—at first, I wasn’t even sure it was possible. Everyone I knew who was doing great in their business seemed to be all-in on social media. They were sharing constantly, showing up publicly, and building visibility by staying front and center. And for a while, I tried to keep up with that rhythm.

Because there’s no real rule book on how to build a modern business without social media. It felt like I was trying to merge old-school business principles with a modern-day spin—and I didn’t know if it would actually work.

For a long time, I leaned on social media because I thought it was the key to growth. And yes, it helped me build momentum in those early years. But it also made me feel like I had to be everywhere, all the time. That I had to share everything to be relevant. That my visibility equaled my value.

It wasn’t until I shifted my focus to long-term, sustainable marketing that everything changed.

I started to really focus on building my email list. I focused on creating evergreen content that lives on (hello blog posts and newsletters). I paid attention to the parts of my business that still worked even when I was off social media.

And slowly, something powerful happened:

I started breathing again.

And to really prove it, I didn’t post a single time in 2024 to show myself that yes, I could 100% run my business without needing social media.

Living a Quiet Life That Still Moves Big Things

I stopped feeling like I had to document every single moment.

Now, I show up on social when it feels right. Sometimes that means sharing more. Sometimes it means taking a quiet step back. But either way, my business doesn’t stop. My growth doesn’t pause. Because I’ve built a foundation that doesn’t rely on being plugged in 24/7.

And I can’t tell you how freeing that is.

There’s something sacred about being able to live your life without constantly performing it. About being present in a world that keeps telling you to produce. Some days I look around at the stillness in my home, the sound of my kids playing, the quietness of this life I’ve created—and it feels like success in its purest form.

The “I Know How You Feel” Content Prompt

Friday, April 4th, 2025

Content Prompt: I know how it feels to [insert common objection or hesitation your audience has]. I’ve felt the same way before. But what I found is that when I [what you did or changed], everything started to shift. That’s exactly why I created [your service] – so you don’t have to stay stuck.

Copywriting Formula: Feel-Felt-Found

This week, we’re using a classic yet super effective formula: Feel-Felt-Found.

It goes like this:

Feel: Empathize with what your audience is experiencing

Felt: Share a personal story or experience that mirrors theirs

Found: Show what changed, and how your service played a role

This is the formula for overcoming objections in a way that feels natural, personal, and totally relatable.

Why It Works:

Let’s be honest—trying something new can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s investing your time, your money, or your energy, there’s always that little voice asking, “But what if this doesn’t work for me?”

I’ve been there. That uncertainty? It’s real. And chances are, your audience has felt it too.

That’s why I love the Feel-Felt-Found formula. It doesn’t try to sell or convince—it connects. It gives you the space to say, “Hey, I see you. I’ve stood where you’re standing. And here’s what happened when I took the leap.”

It helps your audience feel seen and supported, and that shift—from doubt to trust—is where the real magic happens. Because once someone feels understood, they’re so much more open to the solution you offer.

Wordsmith Instructions:

Use this week’s content prompt to connect with your audience on a deeper level. Share a hesitation you’ve had (or one you hear from clients all the time), explain how you’ve felt the same way, and show what changed.

Using Wordsmith? Drop this prompt and a few details about your business into Wordsmith. We’ll generate a blog post, newsletter, and social captions that sound like you and speak directly to your ideal audience.

How to Use This Prompt:

Start with a common fear, frustration, or hesitation your audience has

Share a real, personal moment where you felt the same

Show what shifted when you tried something new (aka, your service!)

Wrap it up with a CTA that says, “You don’t have to stay stuck”

Your Website Is Your Best Marketing Tool

Your website is your best marketing tool—if you know how to use it. For too many entrepreneurs, their website sits quietly in the background, looking pretty but doing little to actually grow their business.

Sound familiar? Let’s change that.

Your website should be more than a digital business card. It has the potential to be a lead-generating, client-connecting powerhouse. But to get there, you need to approach it with intention. Let’s walk through exactly how to turn your site into a marketing tool that works for you 24/7.

Why Your Website Matters More Than Ever

In a world obsessed with social media, it’s easy to overlook the power of your website. But here’s the thing: social media platforms come and go. Algorithms change. Trends shift. Your website? It’s your home base. It’s the one place online where you have complete control over the user experience and the message you share.

Think about it—when was the last time you signed up for a service or bought a product without visiting the website first? Exactly. Your potential clients are doing the same thing. Your website is the bridge between someone discovering you online and becoming a paying client.

Step 1: Make a Killer First Impression

Your homepage is like a handshake. It’s your first chance to connect with someone and make them feel welcome. Here’s what it needs to do:

Clear Message: Within seconds, visitors should understand who you are, what you offer, and why it matters to them.

Easy Navigation: Make it simple for users to find the information they need.

Call to Action: What do you want them to do? Book a call? Download a freebie? Make it clear and compelling.

Step 2: Build Trust Through Your About Page

People buy from people they trust. Your About page isn’t just a place to list your credentials—it’s where you build connection. Share your story. Show your values. Let them see the human behind the business.

Pro tip: Use your About page to address your audience’s pain points. Make it about them as much as it is about you.

March Running Recap: 10-Mile Milestone!

Tuesday, April 1st, 2025

March flew by in a blur of gym days, steady strides, and more than a few proud moments. What stood out most? Not just the mileage milestones—but the mindset shift.

Even though I hit some exciting new goals this month, I also gave myself permission to slow down a bit and enjoy the process. I showed up consistently, even if that meant just a simple 3-4 mile run. I honored my need for rest, taking two days off each week. It wasn’t about chasing big numbers every day—it was about building a rhythm I could stick with.

One of the biggest highlights? Long run Fridays.

It’s the one day I get to run in the morning instead of the evening, and I made it count. This month, I set a goal to run 10 miles without stopping—and I actually did it! (Still smiling about it!)

I had a total of three long runs in March. The first time, I simply focused on running for two hours straight and ended up hitting 9 miles. For the second and third runs, I locked into a steady 5.5 MPH pace and was able to finish 10 miles just under the two-hour mark.

Now, if you’re a seasoned runner reading this, you might think, “Okay, not a huge deal.” But for someone who just started running three months ago?

It feels like a huge deal.

I’m learning how to maintain a slower pace for longer stretches—and that’s been a game-changer. I’m not ready for a marathon just yet, but the fact that I’m hitting mile 10 already? It gives me so much hope that I’m on the right track.

The “What I Wish You Knew” Content Prompt

Content Prompt: I wish more people knew that [insert lesson or truth about your industry]. After working with [clients/customers], I’ve learned that this one thing changes everything. Let me walk you through it—because this might be the shift you’ve been needing.

Copywriting Formula: Story + Teaching Moment

This formula blends personal storytelling with powerful takeaways. It lets you share something meaningful you’ve learned from your work, offer a new perspective, and gently guide your audience toward the next step.

It’s less about pushing a product, and more about pulling back the curtain on your expertise—in a way that feels human, helpful, and rooted in real experience.

Why It Works:

People love a good story—especially when it teaches them something new. This formula helps you connect the dots between what you’ve learned and what your audience needs to hear. It builds trust, adds value, and positions you as someone who knows their stuff and genuinely cares.

Sharing a lesson with a “this changed everything for me (and it can for you too)” energy makes your content both educational and deeply relatable.

Wordsmith Instructions:

Write a [Social media, newsletter, blog post] that shares something you wish more people understood about your work, your industry, or the transformation your clients experience. Start with a real story or example, add a helpful insight, and wrap it up with a CTA that encourages your audience to take the next step.

First time using Wordsmith? You’re in for something good. Wordsmith takes your message and turns it into content that sounds just like you (without you having to spend hours writing it yourself). Just drop in this prompt, share some details about your business, and let Wordsmith do its thing—helping you create content that feels true to your voice and super clear for your audience.

How to Use This Prompt:

Start with a story or reflection. What’s something you wish people understood before working with you?

Teach the lesson. What truth or insight has come from your real-life experience?

Relate it back to your offer. How does this insight connect to what you do?

Invite action. End with a call to take the next step (whether that’s booking, buying, or just learning more).

Information Needed About Your Business:

To use this prompt well, think about:

What’s a belief or mindset your audience might be stuck in?

What do you wish they understood before working with you?

How has your own experience shaped this insight?

How does your service or offer provide a better way?

This prompt works best when it comes from the heart. Let it be honest, helpful, and rooted in real-life moments your audience can see themselves in.

Example Post Using This Prompt:

I wish more people knew this before creating content: You don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time you show up online.

So many business owners believe they have to be wildly original or start from scratch every time they write a post. But after years of writing for my business (and hundreds of clients), I’ve learned that consistency and clarity matter way more than constant reinvention.

That’s why I created Wordsmith. To give you a foundation—a starting point—a weekly content prompt that helps you know exactly what to say, and why it works.

Every prompt comes with guidance, strategy, and the tools to make it work for your business. You can write it yourself, or let Wordsmith build it out for you—from social posts to newsletters to full-blown blog content.

When content stops feeling so hard, you

The Truth About the In-Between Stage of Success

Tuesday, April 1st, 2025

Nobody talks about the middle. We hear the stories of people who hit rock bottom and built something beautiful from the ashes. And we hear about the moments of massive success—the six-figure launches, the bestselling product, the business going viral. But what about the space in between? The slow, stretching, quiet middle where you’re not where you started, but you’re also not quite where you want to be?

That middle part? It’s where I’ve spent a lot of time. And maybe you have too.

It’s the part of business that doesn’t get shared as often. Because it’s not flashy. It’s not dramatic. It’s the long nights spent refining. The moments of questioning. The seasons where things are working, but slowly. The little wins that don’t get likes or applause, but quietly stack into something meaningful.

The middle is where you learn how to hold both gratitude and desire. Where you appreciate how far you’ve come, while still feeling a little restless about what’s next. It’s where you start to trust yourself more—your voice, your ideas, your vision. Even when the evidence of “making it” hasn’t fully shown up yet.

I’ve learned that the in-between is not a pause. It’s not a waiting room. It’s a sacred, active part of the journey. It’s the quiet space where foundations are built and roots go deep. Where clarity comes in slowly, piece by piece. Where you start to create not just for outcomes, but from alignment.

This stage might not feel exciting, but it matters. Because this is where you become the person who can sustain success when it comes. Not just chase it, but hold it. Build on it. Grow with it.

So much of entrepreneurship is about momentum. But the truth is, most days aren’t about quantum leaps. Most days are about showing up. About doing the next right thing. About staying committed to the work, even when it’s not being seen or celebrated.

There’s something tender about the middle. It asks you to find joy in the process, not just the milestones. To notice the subtle shifts. To celebrate the steady clients, the kind words, the small improvements.

It’s in this place where I’ve felt the most growth as a person. Where I’ve learned that rest doesn’t mean failure. That quiet doesn’t mean irrelevant. That consistency is a form of courage.

And honestly? There’s something beautiful about knowing that you can keep showing up for your work even when it’s not glamorous. That your love for what you’re building doesn’t disappear just because the outside world hasn’t caught up yet.

No one talks about how long the middle can last. Or how normal it is to wonder if you’re doing enough. Or how easy it is to compare your quiet, consistent days to someone else’s highlight reel.

But I want you to know: the middle is not something to rush through. It’s something to honor. Because one day, you’ll look back and realize this is where the magic happened. This is where you figured out who you are. This is where the foundation was laid for everything that followed.

And when you get to the place you once dreamed about, you’ll know it wasn’t just a single moment that got you there. It was all the small, unseen moments in the middle that mattered most.

So if you’re there right now—in the in-between, the middle space—hold on. Keep going. You’re not lost. You’re not behind. You’re in the becoming. And that is a beautiful place to be.

Create a Month’s Worth of Content in Just One Day

It’s Monday morning. You sit down with your coffee, open your laptop, and realize you have no clue what to post this week. You scroll Instagram for inspiration, peek at what other people are doing, and before you know it, your time is gone—and you still haven’t posted.

Sound familiar?

Friend, it doesn’t have to be this way.

One of the most powerful shifts I ever made in my business was learning how to batch my content—and not just a few days at a time. I’m talking about building an entire month’s worth of content in just one afternoon.

Let me show you exactly how I do it. (You can apply this strategy to anything; Social media, your blog, newsletter.)

Step 1: Decide How Often You Want to Post

We’re not aiming for “post every single day or you fail.” We’re aiming for consistency you can actually stick to.

For those wanting to focus on social media, I think every other day works well.

That’s about 15 posts a month. Enough to keep your business visible and your message strong without making content your full-time job.

Step 2: Define Your Content Pillars

These are the categories your brand talks about regularly—the foundational themes that reflect what you do and who you help.

Think of them like buckets. Every piece of content you create will fall into one of these. Here are a few common examples to get your wheels turning:

Educational (Teach something your audience needs to know)

Inspirational (Share your journey, behind-the-scenes, or a mindset shift)

Connection (Ask a question, tell a story, start a conversation)

Promotional (Talk about what you sell, how to work with you, and why it matters)

Testimonial/Social Proof (Share wins, feedback, or results from clients)

Pick 4-5 that feel right for you. These will guide everything.

Step 3: Brainstorm 3 Ideas for Each Pillar

If you have five content pillars and you write down three ideas for each, guess what?

That’s 15 content ideas—your whole month planned.

Let’s break down 15 post ideas—3 for each pillar—that any business owner can adapt to fit their niche:

EDUCATIONAL

1. 3 mistakes to avoid when [doing something your audience regularly does]

2. How to [solve a challenge your ideal client faces every week]

3. One quick tip that helped me [save time / save money / get better results]

INSPIRATIONAL

4. That one time I almost gave up on [your work] and what pulled me through

5. A behind-the-scenes look at [a recent launch, tough decision, or lesson learned]

6. A story about a client who [saw real change or growth with your help]

Content That Sells (It’s Not What You Think)

Wednesday, March 26th, 2025

There’s a lot of noise out there about how to write content that sells. If you’ve spent any amount of time trying to figure out why your content isn’t converting the way you hoped, I want you to know: it’s not just you. The advice out there is often confusing, conflicting, and missing the one thing that actually makes content work—connection.

If you’re a female entrepreneur trying to grow your business online, you’ve probably heard the same old advice: write killer headlines, post every day, use strong CTAs, and get to the point fast.

And while yes, those things can help… they are not the reason people buy from you.

Here’s the truth: content that sells isn’t just persuasive. It’s personal. It’s rooted in trust. It’s built on timing, messaging, and most importantly—it meets your audience exactly where they are.

Why Your Content Might Not Be Converting

The biggest mistake I see? Business owners trying to do it all alone. Writing every caption, every email, every blog post from scratch… all while second-guessing every word. You’re trying to make sales while also sounding like yourself. You’re trying to be strategic while also staying authentic.

And it’s exhausting.

Because here’s what no one tells you: the content that actually converts? It’s rarely written in a rush.

It’s not the content that follows the trending audio. It’s not the beautifully styled graphic. It’s the kind that’s written from a place of clarity—where your message meets your mission and speaks directly to the person you want to help.

Connection Content vs. Conversion Content

Let’s break this down a little more.

Connection content is the kind that builds trust, makes people feel seen, and creates that “me too” moment for your client. It’s the stories, the behind-the-scenes, the why behind what you do.

Conversion content is the kind that shows your reader exactly how your offer solves their problem. It’s specific, value-packed, and ends with a clear invitation.

You need both. But most business owners lean too hard on one or the other. They’re either storytelling without a clear CTA, or they’re selling without the connection—and neither works well on its own.

What Actually Drives Sales (Hint: It’s Not Just Great Copy)

Want to know what makes content sell?

Trust – Your audience needs to believe that you understand them, that your offer is the right fit, and that you can deliver on your promise.

Timing – Most people need multiple touchpoints before they buy. If your content shows up consistently, you’re building momentum without realizing it.

Clarity – You can’t sell what you can’t clearly explain. If your message is confusing, your audience won’t take the next step.

Why I Stopped Relying on Organic Reach

If you’ve been relying solely on organic marketing—posting on social media, hoping for engagement, and waiting for website visitors to show up—you’ve likely felt the highs and lows of unpredictable traffic. One day, your content reaches hundreds (maybe thousands) of people; the next, it barely makes a ripple.

The reality? Organic traffic alone isn’t enough.

The average organic reach for a Facebook post is just 6.4% of your total followers (Invoca).

On Instagram, engagement rates have dropped significantly as competition for visibility increases (The Graygency).

Pinterest, while still a strong organic traffic driver, requires consistent content creation to maintain visibility.

So what does this mean for your business? If you’re relying on organic marketing alone, you’re leaving potential customers on the table. That’s where paid advertising—especially on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest—fills in the gaps.

How Paid Ads Solve the Organic Reach Problem

1. They Guarantee Visibility

Instead of hoping your audience sees your posts, ads put your content directly in front of the right people. Whether it’s a warm audience (people who have engaged with your brand before) or a cold audience (new potential customers), ads ensure your content actuallygets seen.

2. They Target Your Ideal Customers

Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest offer detailed targeting options, allowing you to reach people based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and even past interactions with your brand. This means you’re not just reaching more people—you’re reaching the right people.

3. They Create Consistent Traffic & Sales

One of the biggest struggles with organic marketing is inconsistency. Some weeks are booming, while others are slow. Paid ads create a steady flow of traffic, bringing potential customers to your website every single day.

4. They Provide Measurable Results

With paid advertising, you’re not guessing what’s working. Every ad campaign comes with detailed insights—click-through rates, conversions, return on investment—so you can see exactly what’s bringing in results and adjust accordingly.

How to Get Started with Ads (Without Wasting Money)

If you’re new to paid advertising, the key is to start strategically and avoid common pitfalls. Here’s a step-by-step approach:

Step 1: Set Clear Goals

Before running ads, ask yourself:

Do I want more website traffic?

Do I need to generate leads?

Am I looking to increase direct sales?

Why You Need To Lean Into Your Zone of Genius

Tuesday, March 18th, 2025

I’ll be the first to admit—when I started my business, I thought I had to do everything myself. Every email, every blog post, every customer inquiry, every little task that came across my plate. After all, wasn’t that what running your own business meant? Hustling hard, wearing all the hats, and proving you could handle it all?

Turns out, that mindset didn’t just slow me down—it exhausted me.

And here’s the truth I wish I had embraced sooner: Success doesn’t come from doing everything yourself. It comes from doing the things you’re best at—and letting go of the rest.

Why Your Zone of Genius Is Your Superpower

We all have that thing—that one skill or area where we shine. The thing that feels almost effortless, that lights us up, that makes time fly because we’re so in the zone. Maybe for you, it’s designing, coaching, writing, photography, or product creation. Whatever it is, that’s where your energy belongs.

Your zone of genius is where you do your best work, where your creativity thrives, and where your business will grow the fastest. But if you’re stuck in the weeds—managing emails, figuring out tech, or struggling with tasks that drain you—you’re robbing yourself of time and energy that could be spent on the work that truly moves your business forward.

And the thing is? Your ideal clients aren’t looking for someone who can do everything. They’re looking for someone who is amazing at what they do best.

The Cost of Doing It All

If you’ve ever felt completely overwhelmed by your to-do list, nod along with me:

You spend hours on tasks that aren’t in your skill set, just trying to figure things out.

You fall behind on the work you actually love because you’re too busy putting out fires.

You feel like you’re constantly working, but your business isn’t growing the way you want it to.

You’ve thought about hiring help but keep telling yourself, I can’t afford that yet. I should be able to handle this myself.

I’ve been there, too. I spent years believing that in order to be “successful,” I had to do everything in my business. That outsourcing was a luxury reserved for entrepreneurs who had “made it.” But I was wrong.

Delegation isn’t an expense—it’s an investment in your business growth.

How to Start Delegating (Without Feeling Overwhelmed)

Okay, so you’re nodding along, realizing you need to step back from certain tasks, but you have no idea where to start? Here’s how to make it happen without the stress.

1. Identify What Drains You

Take an honest look at your daily workload. What are the tasks that feel heavy? The ones that leave you exhausted, frustrated, or stuck in analysis paralysis? Maybe it’s bookkeeping, answering emails, editing
