Emilee Vales has this innocence about her – like she’s perpetually skipping into science class clutching her Trapper Keeper, finished homework neatly tucked inside.
Just a small-town girl with big dreams, right? Probably gets real chatty after about two High Noons.
You can tell a lot from a single photo.
Obviously, she teaches Pinterest. I’ll give you a minute to act shocked.
Here’s my question, though: who, besides your Aunt Liz – baking banana bread in front of her Live. Laugh. Love. sign – still uses Pinterest?
And how the hell do you make money from it?
Read on for Pinterest Manager Academy reviews.
Emilee taught kindergarten and second grade, had her first kid, and thought, “Ya know, maybe I won’t go back.”
Sure, she felt a little guilty leaving behind her lice-gremlins who couldn’t figure out that if Amy had three apples and gave one to Jamie, Amy now has two goddamn apples (it’s not that fucking hard, Grayson!) – but motherhood hit different.
So she stayed home with the baby and started working as a virtual assistant.
She niched down into general social media management, but it just wasn’t her vibe. She didn’t wanna respond to DMs, stick to a posting schedule, or create anyone else’s Stories.
She’d heard Pinterest management was a thing, but didn’t know shit about it.
So Emilee bought some courses, joined a coaching program, even flew to a mastermind in NYC to get up to speed – then decided, “Yeah, this is a much better fit.”
- It was steady income.
- She actually liked the work.
- And she could do it on her own time.
What most people don’t realize is that Pinterest is basically a search engine.
You hop on looking for dinner recipes or DIY inspo, and boom – you get a feed full of Pins. These Pins are like visual bookmarks that link back to actual websites. Unlike most platforms, Pinterest wants you to click through.
That’s huge for business owners, who only care about one thing: traffic that turns into revenue.
Whether it’s ad impressions, course sales, or booking a highlight to cover those grays – the Target-themed vision board app from 2013 somehow helps make it happen.
And yet, most business owners don’t wanna touch Pinterest. They’re too busy.
So yeah. If you’re good at it, they’d rather just pay you.
From Peloton to Lush Cosmetics, all the way down to your favorite part-time food blogger, Emilee says there’s a huge range of businesses that can benefit from Pinterest traffic.
And the ROI’s so nasty, it oughta come with a safeword.
For instance:
One of Emilee’s clients made $16k in a single month off Pinterest.
Not to mention, everyone sleeps on Pinterest. So it’s not saturated like Facebook ads, or a total stress factory like Instagram posting.
That means you’re not competing with 47 other freelancers all trying to offer the same service.
What else?
You get to be creative.
You can batch it. Like, you’re not glued to your phone, frantically hearting comments and replying with fake enthusiasm, as if to say to the algorithm, “Please sir, may I have five more impressions?”
And let’s not forget, you’re helping real businesses.
And you’re doing it on a platform that’s not slamming your soul in a rusty file cabinet over and over.
I mean, Jesus, spend too much time on YouTube and it gets mournful. Like two suicide notes stuffed in a sock.
No wonder Emilee’s been all in on Pinterest since 2019.
Over the years, she’s built a repeatable system for siphoning Pinterest traffic to line her clients’ pockets.
She can show you how to do the exact same thing – get clients, drive results, and cash fat checks – even if you think a Pin is that thing you screw your Maui Melon cartridge into before taking enough puffs to forget all your problems.

Would I buy it?
Please. My websites print while I’m soaking in an Epsom salt bath, listening to Shaboozey unironically.
Still… Emilee’s cooking.
If I were even mildly Pinterest-curious, I’d be sniffin’ around this thing like a raccoon in a drive-thru.
