How to schedule your Pinterest pins
It is not easy being an entrepreneur! With so much to do on a daily basis, I am always looking for new ways to save time and increase productivity.
If you are using social media as a platform to market your business, then you know how long it can take. Trying to maintain your presence and build your brand on numerous social media sites is no easy task. If I were to post updates to all of my profiles individually, multiple times a day, there wouldn’t be much time left to do other important things like eat or shower! After all, I was not creating PLUS time with our children and families, one of the main reasons we decided to start a home business in the first place?
Scheduling posts in advance is a great way to keep up with your brand while allowing yourself to focus on other income-generating activities such as content creation and product development. Automating your social media can also be helpful in creating the time it takes to be truly social! Think about it, you can be on Twitter providing services and building relationships (which should be the focus of your social media marketing) while productivity tools like Hootsuite and Buffer post the latest update to your blog or product offering on your other networks. favorites.
Productive fixation.
I don’t know about you, but it didn’t take me long to get absolutely addicted to Pinterest! It quickly became one of my biggest productivity killers. I could easily spend hours there, saving the most important hours of my “workday.” I also found myself pinning large groups, which will eventually get irritating to your followers and could cause them to stop following your boards. Luckily I came across Pingraphy … from a Pinterest pin!
Pingraphy allows me to program my pins. It’s exactly the tool you needed to save time, pin consistently throughout the day, reach more followers, and avoid mass pinning. The service is free and easy to use, just follow the 5 steps below.
1. Create an account.
Signing up for a Pingraphy account is easy! Just submit your Pinterest email address and password.
2. Get the Pingraphy Bookmarklet.
Just drag and drop the pink Pingraphy marker onto your toolbar. The Pingraphy bookmark works the same as the Pin It button on Pinterest. When you find the content you want to share, click the bookmark to display all the bookable images.
3. Select an image.
When the images are displayed, they are all selected by default. To pin an image, click the deselect all button in the upper left corner, select the image you want to pin, and click next. If you want to program multiple pins, just deselect the images you don’t want and click Next.
4. Select A board and add a description.
Choose which of your Pinterest boards you want to pin from the dropdown box. Then add a description of your pin in the description field. If SEO is important to your pin, make sure your description uses the right keywords. The URL field will automatically display the web address of the page you are pinning from.
5. Program your Pin.
Click schedule, then click inside the time field to display the calendar. Select the date and time you want your pin to be published. You can specify your pin time down to the minute! Once you’ve set your time, click Done to close the calendar. Then click confirm. (If you are programming multiple pins, select the desired time interval between pins before clicking confirm.) Congratulations! Your pin is now programmed.
Now, get busy scheduling more pins and give your followers what they want … amazing content on a consistent basis!
Awesome extras.
While the scheduling feature is definitely the star of the Pingraphy show, the value of the service doesn’t stop there.
You can view repins, likes and comments by pin or by board from the Pingraphy board. These analyzes will allow you to see which of your pins are receiving the most engagement. Use this information to find out what your followers enjoy and give them more!
There is also a pin editing function that allows you to enhance the image you are about to pin. It’s a basic editor, but you can crop, add text, and add effects to images that can be clicked. If you are looking for a better tool to add a personal touch to your pins, give Pinstamatic a try. You can access the Pingraphy image enhancer from the board selection / add description page. Click the link to enhance the image to the left of the URL field.
