What Messy Little Empire is, and just as importantly, what it is not.
Last updated: 6 August 2026What's on this page
The short version. Messy Little Empire gives you honest Pinterest and business help based on real experience. It is education and support, not regulated financial, legal or tax advice, and nothing here is a promise of income or results.
I share Pinterest strategy, digital products and business guidance based on my own experience and research. I am not a financial adviser, accountant, solicitor, tax adviser or regulated business consultant, and nothing on this site or in my products should be treated as if it came from one. If you need advice specific to your situation, please speak to a suitably qualified professional.
My free guides, paid products and services are designed to inform and support you. They are general in nature, may not apply to your specific circumstances, and are not a personalised plan for your business, your finances or your tax affairs. Use your own judgement and adapt anything to fit your situation.
Business and marketing results vary enormously from person to person and depend on many factors outside anyone's control, including your niche, your offer, your effort, your market and the decisions of platforms like Pinterest. Nothing on this site or in my products is a promise, projection or guarantee of any particular result, traffic level, follower count or income. Any examples, figures or stories I share are for illustration and are not typical results you should expect.
You are responsible for your own business, your content and the decisions you make. You are responsible for running your business lawfully, including your own tax, data protection and advertising obligations, and for complying with the terms of any platform you use. What you do with the information and tools I provide is up to you.
I often refer to or use third-party tools and platforms, such as Pinterest, Tailwind, Payhip and others. I am not responsible for their content, availability, pricing, policies or the way they run, and their algorithms and rules can change at any time. Your use of any third-party tool is at your own risk and subject to that provider's own terms.
Some links on this site or in my products may be affiliate links. This means I may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you, if you buy through them. I only ever mention tools and products I genuinely rate and would use myself. An affiliate link is not a guarantee that something is right for your situation, and I am not responsible for products or services sold by third parties.
