Helping everyday people start and grow their online businesses with strategies and tools that get results.
📉 Social Media Didn’t Help Them. This Did.

Last week, I saw a bakery with a long line down the street. No fancy ads, no Instagram, just tasty bread and happy customers. It made me smile. Not every business needs to be on social media. If you’re tired of posting every day or chasing likes that don’t lead to sales, I want to tell you something: There are still many real ways to grow a business, even now, in 2025. 1: Use Email Like a ProIt’s old-school, but it works. When someone signs up for your emails, they’re letting you talk right to them. That’s strong. You don’t need to worry about algorithms. You own that link. 2: Show Up on GoogleA free Google Business Profile can turn someone looking around into your next customer. Keep it up-to-date with good info. 3: Blog About What People AskIf people are searching for it, write about it. Even if search has changed, helpful content still works. Social media’s a tool, not the whole toolbox. If it fits your business, use it. If not, that’s okay too. And I have talked about this a lot in my last blog post. Yes, there are even more NON-SOCIAL MEDIA ways that still work for promoting a business. Stay curious, Minosh. ​ |

So, if you’re just starting (or want to improve your Pinterest strategy), here’s what I wish someone had told me. Tip #1: Pinterest is a search engine, not just...
While working at my first job, I came home at night, took a shower, had dinner and went to bed thinking about starting a business. I wanted to start something new, but no ideas came to mind. My brain felt empty, even though I knew there must be something out there for me. After a few minutes, I fell asleep. Have you felt like that? That’s how my nights were a few years ago. But now, things are different. We have AI. So, instead of just hoping for ideas, we can use tools like ChatGPT, Claude,...
Last week, I was looking for a t-shirt I saw on Facebook. No clue what brand it was. No name, no tag. So, I took a screenshot, opened Google Lens, and uploaded it. Boom. Found the same one in less than 5 seconds. This is what visual search feels like now. It’s no longer a nice-to-have thing. It’s becoming normal. Big platforms like Google, Pinterest, and Amazon are making it super easy. Pinterest Lens might be even more impressive. It can recognize over 2.5 billion objects on its own. It’s...
