“I first discovered Trona on Twitter as part of an instachat led by Sara Tasker. Her view points aligned with mine and when I found her later on Instagram I was fascinated in her aesthetic and view of the world. Trona is so relatable and feels like an instant pal. I immediately signed up to her mailing list as I felt I was ready to learn more about Pinterest as part of my content eco-system. I really look forward to her newsletters and I actually grew my Pinterest following 10 fold by following her advice in the first one. I wrote a blog about it here. With just a few small changes, I made sure my Pinterest presence was generating traffic to my site and started to understand the value of creating my own pins too. Trona completely changed the way I understood Pinterest. I always look forward to making space for reading Pin Pals. I’m only subscribed to 10 newsletters at a time so Trona is definitely in my top 10. “ – Claire from Creativelyconscious.co.uk

I’ve used Pinterest for years, but always felt like I was missing something. In my quest to learn more about using Pinterest for a business, none of the guides or webinars I took taught me anything I didn’t already know—until I came across Trona‘s free guide, that is! Her curiosity and passion is infectious, and her deeply analytical (and yet totally accessible) approach is so refreshingly different from everything else I’ve seen. She’s so generous with her knowledge and experience, and I love how she shares all of her own experiments and discoveries in her guide and her emails. As a teacher of SEO myself, I was particularly fascinated by how she connects the two things (SEO and Pinterest), and shows how they can work together to complement all the work you do on your website. I wouldn’t want to learn about Pinterest from anyone else!”—Sophie Caldecott, creator of Intuitive SEO

“Blogger outreach sometimes feels really impersonal, especially for us a independent start-up company, with little experience in UK market. Working with Trona however was a really enjoyable process. It’s not just that our review was published on a beautifully designed blog with unique aesthetic. It was Trona’s in depth understanding of branding and UK skin care market that we really appreciate.
Trona’s text reads as a genuine review. She pointed out several aspects about our brand that we sometimes forget and some benefits we would never think of ourselves. This is an added bonus for our brand. Trona gave us an idea about a message we can use to market our product in the future.
The best thing about Trona’s writing style is her wittiness. Readers can’t engage with a piece of work without an element of humor to it. In Hemptouch’s review, Trona did it in a tone and manner that perfectly encapsulated our brand’s ethos.”

“Trona is a very special presence in the blogosphere. Where many others seem just to critique and review, Trona is a creative force of nature in her own right.
Readers trust her because she allows them into her own world. Sharing the joys and heartache of family life, health issues and life as a busy mum, Trona inspires others by revealing both how vulnerable and yet how invincible she is.
Everyone has dark days and happy days. Trona shows how the little things in life, whether just the right shade of lipstick or the perfect moisturiser or a brain-nourishing book can help lighten the load and bring unexpected pleasures.
Unfailingly honest and direct, Trona does not ever feel the need to embellish her views on any given product or service. She tells it how it is, and readers appreciate her integrity and authenticity. There’s no messing with Trona.”
