Keep it simple. Pin 3-5 times max and distribute across relevant boards. Text overlay pins usually perform best.
3. Scale Gradually
After 1-2 weeks of pinning 8-12/day, you can increase by about 5 pins per week.
Always prioritize quality over quantity—track clicks, saves, and impressions to keep your engagement rate high (important!).
⚠️ Avoid maxing out Pinterest's daily limit (48 pins) too quickly; poor-performing pins will hurt your overall performance.
Info:
At the moment, I continue posting 8-12 pins/day on most of my accounts, even as they get older, because I’ve noticed it keeps the engagement rate the highest.
Feel free to test both approaches and see if posting more quality pins improves or at least maintains your performance.
4. Diversify Your Boards
Create 10-15 niche-focused boards.
For example, if you’re in the food niche:
• Healthy Dinner Recipes
• Easy Chicken Recipes
💡 Pin to the most relevant boards, but avoid spamming the same pin across all boards simultaneously.
5. Quality Over Quantity
Pinterest favors high-quality, engaging pins.
Focus on:
• Titles: Use curiosity-driven, clickable phrases.
E.g., “10 Must-Try Chicken Dinners Your Family Will Love.”
• Descriptions:
Include relevant KWs and long-tail phrases. Use Pinterest Trends and Pinclciks for research.
• Design: Experiment with the 9:16 format (taller pins), which often outperforms Pinterest's official 4:5 recommendation.
6. Engage Actively
Don’t just pin and forget!
• Comments: Respond to feedback on your pins.
• Saves: Save top-performing pins from others to stay visible and active in the community.
