How to schedule a Pinterest post?

Pinterest is a social media platform that is focused mostly on photos but also videos. In recent years it gained a lot of popularity. According to Pinterest Annual Report from 2021, the number of monthly active users in 2020 reached 459 million. 

Pinterest has one of the highest rates of engagement of all social media platforms (more than YouTube, Twitter, and LinkedIn), and this makes it an attractive avenue for marketing campaigns. That is a good reason for you to learn what Pinterest post is all about. 

How to get visual content noticed by the Pinterest algorithm?

Pinterest is a photo and video bookmarking and sharing website. It is one of the most popular social media platforms for visual content. The platform has introduced a lot of new features that help people find, organize and discover the best content on the website.

It is good for business pages because it has an algorithm that can detect if the content is relevant to users. Content with high relevancy will show up in the feed more often than content with low relevancy. Pinterest’s algorithm makes it easier to get your visual content noticed. With this in mind, you should optimize your Pinterest profile with these steps:

• be sure to upload high-quality images onto Pinterest, not just low-resolution photos; from other websites or blurry ones from your mobile device;
• to get more visibility on Pinterest, upload at least 8 images per board;
• use at least 2 photo filters per photo;
• photos with faces tend to be more popular than photos without them;
• use keywords when uploading images for boards with specific topics.

Pinterest marketing strategy

Pinterest is driven by images and videos, and if you have a product to sell, it provides an excellent opportunity to get your products in front of potential customers. Therefore, you will need a strategy to expand your business there. There are a few steps that you should follow:

1. Research what works well on Pinterest
2. Create visuals that will work well for this platform 
3. Analyze and identify your customer's shopping behaviour and interests
4. Optimize your website to be able to better promote your products
5. Plan out your content and schedule it        

Planning a Pinterest post

The last point of the previous list is crucial: plan your content in advance. Consistency is an important part of any social media platform, but if you want to take it seriously, then you should keep that in mind all the time. The algorithm will work in your favour if you upload a certain amount of content every day, which is quite understandable if you think about it. They just want you, as a creator, to keep other people active in their App. That is why you should schedule at least one Pinterest post a day. 

However, sometimes it might be difficult. If you are working for the whole week, you probably just want to chill out during the weekend – why would you even bother to go online and add some posts? Well, if that’s the case I’ve got a perfect solution for you. This thing is called social media scheduler. 

A social media planner is a great tool that will help you deal with posting to different platforms every day. Thanks to it, you can keep consistency and still do social media detox. You can spend one day a week planning content for different social media, and everything will be published automatically. How cool is that?
