Hi, I'm Anastasia and in today's video I'll show you how you can create and
schedule your Pinterest pins in bulk - and all the process can be done in one tool!
I've been testing it and I found it has some very unique features
that help you save a ton of time and automate the process to a whole new
level that you can't achieve yet with other social media scheduling tools.
You can just click on the first link in the description below and you'll get a
free access to this tool for 7 days. You can start your introduction by submitting
a URL from your site right here, on the homepage of Pin Generator. I suggest that
you use a page that has some images on it and that is NOT the homepage of your site.
Any specific page like a product page if you have an eCommerce site, or an article page.
So, this is our Step 1. Generate Pin Designs Automatically
I've used a URL of one of my recipe posts which has about 3 different photos of this
broccoli soup. In a few seconds the tool will allow you to pick any images from the page,
I'll only keep the photos and will not use any pins with text overlay that I have on the page.
And the tool will generate a bunch of pin designs using their templates and
my images as well as the text from the SEO title of this recipe post.
The pin designs are quite decent, my pro tip for you as I've been marketing on Pinterest for over
5 years now, don't use any templates where the text overlay is at the bottom part of the pin.
Users on Pinterest scroll down and ideally, the first thing they should see is your text overlay
which explains better than images what this pin is about and why they should click on it.
What you can do here find in the left menu Templates and remove this Randomize setting,
and now instead of getting random designs, you can pick ONLY those
templates that have text overlay in the top or middle part of the pin. See,
now none of my generated pins have a text overlay in the bottom part.
This little detail can increase your click-through rates and drive you a
lot more traffic from the same amount pins, so I hope this tip deserves a like on my video!
You are not just watching TV, right? We are on Youtube and you have many ways to vote for
quality content on this platform. Give me a thumbs up and comment below - tell me what you like,
what you don't. Educational videos are rarely getting as much engagement
as clickbait or controversial content but if you give Youtube more signals,
you will benefit from it and the platform will get better!
Now I recommend you to also check these Bulk Settings and at least
add your Brand name and your homepage URL so that in respective elements on some of
the templates your brand and website show up instead of the default text of the template.
You can also upload here your logo but it will look very small in most templates,
which it should be but then I personally prefer to have no logos on my pins. I think domain name
or brand name is more than enough. But since some of the templates have a space for logo,
it's best to upload something to not show the default placeholder image there.
I recommend you to SAVE Design Settigns so that you can apply all that we've
chosen so far to all future pins you create for the same website.
And if you don't find that the existing templates always work well for you,
you can go Templates, and create a bunch of your own dynamic pin
templates if you have something specific in mind that you need. You can choose from
different sizes and formats of pins when you create those new templates.
You can also click here on Shared Tempaltes, to check out and save to your account any of
the templates already shared by other Pin Generator users.
Ok, that was about pin design but you can then work with your pin titles and
descriptions right here as well. Just click on this pencil icon and you can
edit your pin title and description. And if you click on this blue icon,
you can also use an integration AI tool to generate a longer description and a bit different
title for your pin. You can do it for every pin separately and save each pin like I just did.
But it wouldn't be a bulk-create tool if you couldn't generate pin titles and
descriptions for all pins at once. Here is how! If you look on the left menu for the AI tools,
you'll find that you can add a bunch of keywords, and by the way, while you
are typing the keywords, the tool will likely give you several related keyword suggestions.
You can use them or add anything you think that would make sense here.
I think it's better to add about 3-5 different keywords if you can so that AI tool has
options to create different text variations. By the way if you want to learn more about
Pinterest SEO and how to find keywords you should target in your pin titles and descriptions, check
out my free Pinterest Masterclass, I'll give you a link to it up there and in the description below.
Now you can just click to generate new titles for your pins, and once
they are ready you'll see that they look similar but they are not 100% the same,
they are all a slight variation of the same topic using different word combinations.
You can click also to generate AI pin descriptions. It will take a
bit longer because descriptions are longer texts, up to 500 characters.
But when they are ready, you will see that we have now a unique pin description for every pin,
that the texts are much longer than our original description
and it now includes all additional keywords we asked AI to include.
Now our next step is to Schedule the Pins we just generated.
Look on the left to find the button Add a Pinterest Profile. You should
be logged in to your Pinterest account in this browser, and then find this red button
to allow Pin Generator connect to your Pinteret profile through Pinterest's API,
so you don't have to share your login details at any point with the tool.
This by the way shows you that Pin Generator is a scheduler approved
by Pinterest and you can use it safely to schedule pins.
And before you schedule any pins, I recommend you to check our scheduling settings because it
will make things easier down the road. If you click on the Schedule settings,
you'll see that the tool recommends saving between 20 and 30 pins for established
accounts but for new accounts it's best to reduce it to 5-10 pins a day. Also you'll see
the recommended best time for pinning I would keep this as it is but in the time zones I'll
change it to New York time because most of the Pinteret users live in the United States.
Now we get back to our pins, you can click on each one of them and select one of these options.
The first option simply sends your pin to the queue and it occupies ANY available slots in
your schedule. If you selected one board, it will be just one pin, which is fine.
But if you selected 2 boards or more, it will schedule the same exact pin
to several boards at once and your pins will end up really close to each other,
which can trigger spam filters on Pinterest.
So this first option is only good if you want to save each pin image to one specific board.
The second option allows you to choose a specific date and time when you want this pin to be saved.
But again be careful if you selected more than one board, the same exact pin will be
saved more than once at the same exact moment. Which can trigger spam filters as well. Again,
use this method only if you selected just one board.
The third version Create Autopin is the most advanced scheduling option.
Here you can have one pin design but make autopins that the tool will automatically
diversify in terms of templates and even the texts for the pins can be unique every time.
You can choose to save autopins every 7 days. It's a safe interval recommended
by Pinterest if you want to save different pins from the same page.
Then you can choose that you want the tool to automatically generate a new pin image every time,
you can select this option that it should be saved to only one board at a time,
the boards will be selected randomly from the list of boards you selected for this pin.
You can also ask AI to generate a different text for the pin titles and descriptions every time.
And you can decide when your campaign should end, so if you want to make 4
different pins with 7-day intervals, you could select a day about a month from now.
I want to mention a few other things you should know about and
use in Pin Generator if you need them. The tool has integration with Pexels,
it's a free stock image side and you can find some great images to be used on your pins in case you
don't have your own images. So you can search for some keyword and then select as many images of
videos as you want and they'll automatically be added as a background to your pins.
And for more advanced users who like to work with CSV files, Pin Generator even
has an option that allows you to upload a CSV file and schedule multiple pins at once!
This is perfect for those site owners who have all things well-organized
and know the URLs of images on their site. People with SEO for Google background often
keep and track things in Excel sheets, so they also like to bring the same processes they are
used to, when marketing on Pinterest. You can check a Demo CSV file that
includes the pin title, description, destination URL and the image URL.
This feature is really a cherry on the cake and only a handful of experienced website owners might
need to use it but I remember that someone asked me if I knew any Pinterest scheduler that would
allow uploading CSV files like these, so I thought it was worth mentioning this feature as well.
