Pinfluence: Marketing Your Business with Pinterest

By

If you've established a portable career as a writer, photographer, blogger or life coach, your marketing centers (or should center!) around a website that you own.

(Here in the tropics, we don't have the lengthened summer evenings and the short, short winter days that North Americans are used to.) It's located on Panama's Azuero Peninsula, near the east coast. The nearest beach is about six miles away. A few days ago I grabbed my camera and went into town to shoot some video. It was mid-afternoon …
