If you’ve ever sat down to plan your Pinterest content and felt that familiar blank-page dread, I get it. I’ve been there, staring at my scheduler, knowing Pinterest can drive real traffic, but just not knowing what to post next.
That’s why I started using ChatGPT to do it for me. Not just to throw out ideas—but to think like a strategist.
In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the exact prompt I use to generate a full 30-day Pinterest content calendar that aligns with trending keywords, seasonal ideas, and blog content I can monetize. You don’t need to be a pro. You just need this one prompt and five minutes.
Why Plan Pinterest Content with ChatGPT?
Pinterest is a visual search engine. That means what you post needs to be:
- Searchable
- Clickable
- Seasonal or evergreen
- Built around visual storytelling
And if you’re a blogger or content creator, you probably don’t have hours to research what’s trending, what’s ranking, and how to phrase every pin title.
That’s where ChatGPT becomes your assistant.
The Exact ChatGPT Prompt I Use
Here’s the prompt I drop in every time I want to batch a month’s worth of Pinterest content:
“I run a blog about [insert niche]. Create a 30-day Pinterest content calendar with blog post titles, keyword focused pin overlay text ideas, and call-to-action suggestions that align with seasonal and trending topics. Format it as a calendar I can follow.”
Let’s break that down:
- You tell ChatGPT your niche
- It gives you 30 blog titles that are Pinterest-friendly
- Each comes with pin overlay ideas (what the image should say)
- You get CTA suggestions for captions or pin descriptions
- It’s formatted like a plug-and-play content calendar
Example: Home and Garden
I ran this exact prompt in Harpa (the chrome extension that is page aware and runs my ChatGPT) with “Home and Garden as the niche. Here’s a sample of what it returned:

How I Use It in My Workflow
- I run this prompt on the first of the month.
- I skim the output and pick the top 10–15 titles I’m excited to create.
- I turn those into blog posts, idea pins, or TikToks.
- I batch my pins using the overlay suggestions. (I use my AI Pinterest Pin Builder with my Harpa Chrome extension to create a prompt for Ideogram)
- I schedule them out using my pin scheduler (like Tailwind).
And because the prompt is reusable, I re-run it each month with seasonal terms (e.g., “fall decor,” “holiday DIY,” “spring cleaning”).
