How To Make LOADS of Pinterest Pins Fast & Easy With Tailwind Create!

Today I am going to take you behind the scenes of my Tailwind account and show you how I can make eleventy-billion Pinterest pins in a batch PLUS schedule them out all in one step! And not just ho-hum pins, but ones that get clicks and shares because they are so cute!

Why Do We Have To Make So Many Pinterest Pins?

Before we go any further, I want to talk to my peeps… the ones that are NOT marketing gurus, but are just normal, plain jane business owners who are trying to get more eyeballs on their “stuff”.

Maybe you are selling a product or trying to get new clients or building your brand and you are thinking, “why should I spend all my time on making stupid new pins for Pinterest?”

Here are a few reasons I love Pinterest…

• I can drive my own views to my Etsy or Shopify stores
• I can find different kinds of people by using different titles on my Pinterest pins without having to write all different blog posts
• It is FREE TRAFFIC
• Making pins is super easy for me because I am a graphic artist

And that last one used to make me super sad…. for my non-graphic artist friends!

Like my marketing bestie who does Etsy and sells her planners on Amazon. How was she supposed to make her listing, sell her planners, AND then be a graphics guru, oh and spend all her time posting to Pinterest?

Pinterest Fresh Pins

So this year Pinterest decided to change the game in a way that made my little marketing heart happy. They decided that they want LOTS OF DIFFERENT PINS…. lots of different pins is my sweet spot… whoo whoo!

So we used to be able to make one pin for each post, product or whatever and that was it, job done.

Now Pinterest wants us to make all different pins, with different words and pictures and titles so that their users don’t get sick of seeing the same pins over and over again. Makes sense.

Because Pinterest’s job is to make their people happy with “fresh pins” and new ideas!

Tailwind Pinterest Pin Create Tool

Because of all of this, I was super happy when my pals over at Tailwind showed me their super secret new tool that you could use to make a gabillion pins all at once (I am special that way… but I had to keep my big trap shut until now when they let the cat out of the bag!)

Here is the “official” announcement!

No more than 10 Boards – It used to be that “repinning” or scheduling to ALL of our boards worked, it doesn’t now. Now you want to schedule each of your pins to ONLY the best, most relevant boards for your topic or product.

You don’t get dinged for scheduling pins – A Canadian Pinterest gal confirmed that there is no added benefit for “manually pinning” so it is fine to use the Tailwind scheduler to post your Create pins.

Pin your first pin to the most relevant boards – I have been using Create to make extra pins for my posts but doing one “real” pin for my posts first that I manually upload to Pinterest to the “right” board. That has been working well for me! Now I feel like you could skip that manual step if you picked the right boards in the scheduler.

General Best Practices For Posting

Make more for your best pins – This one may seem counter-intuitive but it works! If you have posts or products that always show up in your top pins, make more pins for those! So my Artsy Fartsy post about how to get your dementia mom to take a shower does great, it is my TOP PIN. With that in mind I made and scheduled MORE new pins for it using Create!

Make pins with different words – THIS is our chance to get creative and make pins that work for different audiences! Instead of using the same words on all your pins try to target different audiences or buyers with each of your pins.

Use different pictures – As you use Create more you will see that some of the templates work well with some pictures and others with different layouts. I upload at least 3 different pictures each time I do a set of pins. If you need more pictures, here are Free Stock Photo sites to check out. I like to pay for my pictures but if you can use your creativity to make free photos fancy, that will work too!
