Liftoff of Starship on its twelfth flight test

Most people still think Pinterest is just an app for saving outfit ideas, recipes, wallpapers and aesthetics Meanwhile, there are people quietly making money from it every single day without showing their face, talking on camera or becoming influencers without competition. And the crazy part is that most of them have very small audiences. The reason is simple: Pinterest is not really social media. It works more like a search engine. People go on Pinterest already looking for ideas, products, inspiration and solutions. That means the traffic is valuable because people are actively searching, not just randomly scrolling. The first step is choosing a niche properly. Don’t post random content. Pinterest rewards accounts that are clear and focused. Pick something people already spend money or attention on like fashion, fitness, business, productivity, beauty, finance, wellness, travel or lifestyle content. Then narrow it down further so Pinterest understands exactly who your content is for. After that, create a Pinterest business account instead of a personal one. This gives you access to analytics so you can track which pins are getting impressions, clicks and saves. Your profile, board names and descriptions should also contain keywords related to your niche because Pinterest uses keywords heavily to understand your content. Now for the money part. One of the easiest ways beginners monetize Pinterest is through affiliate marketing. This means promoting products or services using special links that pay you commission when someone buys through them. You do not need your own product. For example, someone in the productivity niche can promote planners, apps, desk accessories or online tools. Someone in fashion can promote outfits or accessories. When people click and buy, commissions start coming in. Another huge method is selling digital products. This is where many faceless creators make serious money because digital products can be sold repeatedly without inventory or shipping. Things like ebooks, templates, guides, planners, spreadsheets, journals and Canva templates perform really well on Pinterest because people already go there searching for ideas and resources. Pins themselves are extremely important because they are what people actually click on. A pin is basically a clickable graphic. Your goal is not just to make it pretty, but to make people curious enough to click. Titles matter a lot. Something like “10 side hustles you can start from your phone” will usually perform better than vague titles because it immediately promises value. Most successful Pinterest creators post fresh pins consistently instead of relying on one viral post. You can even create multiple pins around the same topic using different headlines and designs. That’s how many people scale their traffic. Pinterest growth is slower than TikTok at first, but the difference is longevity. A TikTok post may die in days. A Pinterest pin can continue getting traffic for months or even years because people keep searching for the topic. That’s why i call it quiet money. You don’t need to show your face. You don’t need thousands of followers. You just need searchable content, consistency and a way to monetize the traffic properly.

Today I finally did a chore I’d been avoiding for six months. It took 15 minutes. And I’m committed to learning absolutely nothing from this experience.

Je ne vois rien que de très naturel dans cette tendance générale... L'idéologie de la décroissance a ceci de très confortable qu'elle permet à des pays déclinants, largués technologiquement et sans volonté de ressort, d'habiller leur déclassement d'un vernis de vertu morale. Les esprits les plus faibles l'embrasseront (et l'embrassent déjà) à pleins bras.

Il y a plus de 10 ans, j’ai travaillé sur pas mal d’applications mobiles. Ceux qui rémunéraient le mieux, ce n’était pas la pub, mais les trackers de localisation. Des boîtes israéliennes ou américaines, voire même françaises comme DataBerries, payaient une fortune pour qu’on installe un tracker. Sur une application avec 500k personnes par jour, ça pouvait être 30 000 € par mois. La quasi-totalité des applications de presse en ont aujourd’hui. Vous êtes suivis en permanence, et quand vous pensez en être libéré ? On vous tracke quand même via vos proches et les appareils autour de vous 🤡. Vous n’avez pas idée à quel point vous êtes surveillé… Et vous savez ce qu’ils font de la data ?

1.500.000 de pertes. L'armée russe a perdu 1,5 millions d'hommes. Elle est incapable de soutenir le niveau de pertes qu'elle subit en Ukraine et continue à perdre 25 à 30k hommes chaque mois, si bien qu'elle rétrécit et perd en compétence. Tous les indicateurs sont au rouge👇🧶
