Today she runs 12 client accounts, charging a flat retainer plus performance bonuses. The hosts break down her exact workflow: how she finds clients through cold outreach, what tools she uses (Tailwind, Canva, and Pinterest's native analytics), and why brands pay her $500 to $1,500 per month per account. They also discuss Pinterest's unique algorithm advantage versus other social platforms, the importance of keyword research for pin descriptions, and how Maya scaled from one client to a waitlist in 18 months.
