"Joanna helped me understand how to maximize my time and efforts on Pinterest. She paved the way to gain 200k in engagement in one month. Joanna does a great job of quickly going over the basics and going in depth best practices to someone like me who had a good understanding and following of social media, but was no longer growing my following/engagement. Her knowledge of how to use this platform has increased my online sales and I am forever grateful for her course!"

"Joanna is a true master at her craft. She understands social media in ways I didn't even realize were possible until I took her class. My Pinterest monthly views have gone from 223 view/month to upwards of 130k/month since I took her class a few months ago. I have a better understanding of how to achieve stronger Instagram impressions, likes and followers, as well as the importance of Pinterest in this digital age (I didn't even realize Pinterest was important for my business until this class!!) I would highly recommend her social media class to anyone with a small business or brand! Joanna works magic!"
