I schedule a week of pins in one sitting. Here’s my exact setup.
How I use my scheduler to post at the best times, without opening Pinterest every day.
Pinning every day is how most people burn out on Pinterest.
Open the app. Make a pin. Post it. Do it again tomorrow. And the day after that.
I don’t pin every day. Tailwind does.
Want the whole playbook now? Here’s where I wrote it all down.
I load my pins once a week, and they go out all week long at the times my audience is actually on Pinterest.
Here’s my setup, start to finish:
- Connect your Pinterest business account to Tailwind. It’s an approved Pinterest partner, so it uses the official connection.
- Turn on SmartSchedule. It picks your best posting times from your own audience data.
- Choose how many pins a day. Five to ten is a solid start.
- Add each pin with its image, link, keyword title, description and board.
- Check the queue. Space out pins that go to the same link or the same board.
- Refill it weekly so it never runs empty.
That last step matters most. An empty queue means Pinterest stops seeing you.
SmartSchedule times, a calendar view of your whole queue, and a browser extension that turns any page on your blog into a draft pin.
Here’s the catch, though.
A scheduler can only post what you give it.
The real work is having a month of pins ready to load.
So I don’t make pins one at a time. I make a whole month of them in one sitting.
Ideas, images, titles, descriptions. All in one afternoon. Then I load them into my queue and walk away.
That’s one piece of it. I run 22 income streams on my own, after 40, and I wrote down every one of them, step by step, so you can pick the one or two that fit you and stack them.
Batch the pins.
Let the scheduler post them.

P.S. The scheduler keeps you consistent. Batching keeps it full. Here’s the whole playbook.
