How to Drive Massive Traffic with Pinterest- With Rosemarie Groner
This is the first podcast interview on blogging that I found, and I cannot have enough of it. It is an interview by Side Hustle Nation’s Nick Loper with Rosemarie Groner of The Busy Budgeter, on how to drive lots of traffic using Pinterest.
In this interview, Rosemarie gives you a step by step introduction to Pinterest and how to use it efficiently.
I discovered this podcast interview when Grace Moser (of Chasing Foxes) sang endless praise of how the strategies Rosemarie gives in this podcast helped her drive traffic to her blog when she first started blogging.
Rosemarie is a former police officer who is now a stay at home mom. After 12 months of starting her blog, she grew her site (busybudgeter.com) from 0 – 400,000 page views per month.
She shares her secrets on driving massive traffic to her blog from Pinterest in this podcast interview.
Even though the podcast is over two years old (at the time of writing this post), there are so many lessons you can pick on building your Pinterest account. This podcast interview on blogging is worth downloading and listening.

From 0 to 2,000,000 Views a Month in ONE Year-Chasing Foxes
These two are my favorite people! Their drive inspires me. They reflect on how you can make your dreams come true when you work hard and smart. Grace Moser and her husband Silas Moser started their blog at a point in their lives when they were very broke (they could not afford to sign up for hosting at the beginning).
They describe themselves as the couple everyone knew was broke (I was touched when I read this :). Silas was working in stressful jobs and the couple desired bigger things than what they were experiencing, and blogging changed everything.
In this podcast with Do You Even Blog, the couple talk about their journey to success, not niching down, analyzing viral headlines, the best ways to make money as a blogger and lots of other valuable blogging lessons.
The podcast is about an hour long (filled with a lot of goodness). I must add that Grace and Silas are nomads and travel around the world, so the quality of sound is not too clear because of the network connection of where they were at the time of the recording.
I bet it is worth every minute of your time. I have listened to this podcast several times.
