Tailwind: Pinterest on Auto-pilot

If you have been following my blog, you know that I believe Pinterest is a powerful social media platform to drive traffic visually to your site or shop. Yet, maintaining another platform is time consuming. I use Tailwind to keep my clients’ Pinterest accounts active.

What is Tailwind?

Tailwind is a Pinterest and Instagram scheduling & analytics platform that offers:

• Optimal smart schedule time slots to maximize best exposure to your audience
• Tailwind Tribes, which allow you to discover new content and share your own with a niche-related audience
• ‘Set it and Forget it’ scheduling—allowing you to schedule out content weeks or months in advance, maintaining an active Pinterest account
• Instagram scheduler with notifications to post live
• Analytics about active boards, pin frequency from your domain, and beyond…

Why should you be using Tailwind?

If you’ve read my Getting Started on Pinterest, you’ll know that I highly recommend using Tailwind in your Pinterest Strategy. Using Tailwind to automate a scheduled queue can keep your Pinterest profile active, allowing you to pin fresh content from others (especially through Tailwind Tribes), your evergreen posts, and your new posts all from a friendly and easy-to-manage platform. You’ll have confidence knowing your pins are automatically publishing without active maintenance.

Since Pinterest is a highly visual platform, I’ve created videos to help you get started!
