As a highly sensitive person, your path to creating a business that supports you in every way and feels good probably looks a bit different than someone who’s not an HSP. Ask me how I know 🙌 Trying to do things the traditional way has led me to overwhelm and burnout many times before. These […]
Since mentioning I use Google Drive and Notion together to manage my business, I’ve been getting questions about what information I put into Notion and how I use it. I love not being restricted by the (in)abilities of a project management software and being able to build my own systems in Notion. Particularly as someone who loves to […]
Lately, I’ve been applying KonMari magic to my business and weeding out mindsets, strategies, and tactics that bring anything but joy. It’s been a blast, to say the least. So whether you love to get a peek behind the scenes or are just binging (hey I see you), this is for you. What I No […]
New brand, new website, who dis? Just kidding, it’s still me but my corner of the internet is sporting a new look. Pop the bubbly and throw all the confetti because we’re celebrating the new era of Jungle Soul Collective! I hope you like it much as I do, especially after I tell you why […]
The cat’s out of the bag – I’m done with HoneyBook and Hello Bonsai. Yes, I’m crawling back to Dubsado’s loving arms. Yes, I feel like a cheater who’s been given a second chance. But there is no better CRM than Dubsado and I had to give others a try to be convinced. Dubsado was […]
Recently, I’ve been reflecting on where I’ve been and where I want to go, both in my business and in life. I’ve learned a lot about what works for me and what doesn’t, the latter always bringing more change. I’m leaning into a new direction that feels more aligned with who I am and what […]
With the number of files an online business produces and needs to function, I’m really glad most of it is digital. If you don’t have an easily manageable system, it’s going to get out of control fast. A case in point… When I first started working for myself years ago, I synced files between my […]
Pinterest tips for every step of your journey
pinterest, from a to z
Most people I know outside the online business space see Pinterest as the go-to place for collecting and organizing ideas for their next home project, making a mood board, or simply looking to get inspired. But if you’re running a service-based business and want to share your work in a quieter way that maybe doesn’t […]
Pinterest is the most powerful traffic driver of all social media platforms but can be confusing to understand and use for business. Getting the click – and a website visit – is the ultimate goal of a Pinterest strategy, but it only happens if you’ve done everything right and the stars align. So what does […]
If you’re an online service business owner on Pinterest and haven’t yet switched to a Pinterest business account, this is your sign to do so. The switch is quick and easy but opens up valuable features and insights that elevate your Pinterest marketing strategy. So, without further delay, let me walk you through the key […]
Your service-based business deserves a ridiculously productive, low-cost Pinterest assistant that shaves hours off your workweek by doing all the heavy lifting on Pinterest. But I’m not talking about hiring a flesh and blood human assistant. You can focus on being the heart and brains behind your business by putting Pinterest marketing on software autopilot. […]
Pinterest pin descriptions are the elevator pitch of your content on Pinterest – short, punchy, and captivating when told to the right person. If only the process of writing them were as quick and easy. Are you confused about pin descriptions? Staring at the blinking cursor, trying to find the right words, can be frustrating, […]
Wouldn’t it be nice if your website visitors shared your content on their Pinterest boards? Well, they can and will if you make it easy for them! Although the Pin It button has been around for years, nearly not enough service providers take advantage of this additional content distribution. This post was first published in August […]
Pinterest and email marketing are the power duo every B2B service-based business needs. Email marketing is far from dead and continues to be one of the most successful ways to attract and engage an audience. Pinterest, on the other hand, is a powerful visual search engine on a mission to serve pinners looking for inspiration […]
Are you thinking of including Pinterest in your marketing strategy for your service-based business? Showing up and getting started is often the hardest part – especially if you’re doing it on your own. In some cases, it’s wiser to hire a Pinterest strategist and save a lot of time, energy, and effort. But how do […]

I'm Maris.
nice to meet you.
