do like logging into your social media accounts three times a day to make new posts
manually how about five times a day or more how about interrupting your family dinner on a sunday
just to make a couple of new pins because that's when the audience is more active on pinterest
that's what you will likely need to do if you want to see significant growth on pinterest
now if you also have an instagram and a facebook account to look after good luck trying to keep up
with your work-life balance what if i told you that you don't have to sacrifice your
sanity to succeed on social media you just need to use a scheduler and in today's video
i'll show you how you can use tailwind to schedule multiple pins a day for pinterest
as well as how you can manage your instagram and facebook within the same application
hi i'm Anastasia of anastasiablogger.com and on this channel my goal is to help at least a
million human beings transition to online income streams and work smart instead of working hard
tailwind app which i will talk about today is definitely a great tool that can help you achieve
it through automation of repetitive tasks that otherwise you would have to do manually throughout
the day and by the way i wanted to thank tailwind for sponsoring this video i was going to publish
an updated tutorial on tailwind anyway you see i already published several video tutorials about
tailwind on my channel but tailwind recently had a major update to the interface of the app so i
thought it's the right time to make a new tailwind tutorial for the last few years i have used
tailwind for scheduling my content on pinterest but now it can work as a multi-platform scheduler
previously you would have to pay extra for adding an instagram account and now you have pinterest
instagram and facebook scheduling included in one plan let me switch over to my screen now
so i can show you exactly what you can do in tailwind and how you can get started with it
so if you're new to tailwind you can start and create your free account using my affiliate link
if you do so thank you for supporting my channel so it will be anastasiablogger.comtailwind so
when you put that into your browser the page will invite you to sign up for tailwind using either
your pinterest or your instagram account if you're thinking which is better pinterest or instagram to
sign up for tailwind it really doesn't matter use the platform that you will start with the first
because later you can always add more platforms to your tailwind account you can add instagram
and facebook as well later so for the purpose of this video i created a separate pinterest account
because i wanted to show you the process of signing up so you will click on sign up with
pinterest button on the next page you will see this window if you're already logged into your
pinterest account if you're not first log in to your pinterest account and then you'll be able to
see the window like this and click give access tailwind is an officially authorized scheduler
for pinterest pinterest actually has a page with all the authorized partners you want to
use an authorized scheduler because this app is essentially getting access to your account
for pinning on your behalf so you don't want to use any suspicious
tools that maybe you found out there if you just google something like how to schedule on pinterest
so if you look at this page this is official pinterest business page and among the creative
production tools you'll find the tailwind is here so if you're logged into your pinterest account on
the next page you'll be asked to put your name and your email and create a password for your tailwind
account and the next page is something like this where they ask you to basically for their purposes
to to tell them what kind of business you have let's say i'm a blogger which i am now on this
page they give you options whether you want to set up your accounts first or if you want to try their
design tool or if you want to go ahead and instantly start scheduling your post
i would say let's start first with setting up your accounts so on this page you can see that
to the same tailwind account you can still add on top of your pinterest account you can add an
instagram account and a facebook page so this little icon over here shows you that this is
the pinterest account if it was instagram they would show you an instagram logo over here and
by the way here the pinterest username if you're wondering if whether you can change that or not
on pinterest you can change that in your account settings and then you would have to go back here
to tailwind if you did that change you need to go back to tailwind and refresh click the
refresh button and it will add the new pinterest username i assume that you have a website if you
want to promote something on pinterest so you would have to add your website domain that's
important for you to start seeing some insights your analytics will be shown here in tailwind app
right here now let's click on the home button here because this will show you the new interface of
tailwind and that's your schedule how it's going to look like in their new interface tailwind is
also emphasizing this create design tool this tool was added in somewhere in 2021 i believe
and it helps you design the actual pin itself the image before you publish it on pinterest
personally i started marketing on pinterest a few years ago when tailwind didn't have this
pin design tool so i had to use third-party tools and then download the images to my computer and
then upload them to tailwind over here in drafts you can still do that if you wish
so i use canva i have another video on my channel with a canva tutorial and i'll give you a link
above my head in the info icon but actually i hear it from a lot of new users who start with tailwind
right now that they prefer to create everything inside tailwind itself and publish from here
so i guess it's just a matter of habit but it does make more sense to have everything in the
same tool and if you're able to create and design your pins inside tail and then publish from there
probably it's even a better option so getting back to the home page you have these two options
you can click on create design or you can upload your media if you already have some
images created for your pinterest account if you choose to upload images from your computer you can
just drag them from any folder and the next steps will be very similar to what you'll see in the
crea design tool if you click on create design your experience will be slightly different first
you will be asked at least for the first time to accept the terms of service they will give you a
quick overview and with instructions how to use this tool but let me just click got it and i'll
show you what you can do here so first you can use a url from your site and drop it here and it will
automatically bring some images from your site so let's take this around the post with lots of keto
recipes of pancakes i just copied this url and put it over here and tailwind automatically found some
of the images on this page and they generated this kind of automatically generated pins
so i can change the title to make it shorter because i don't think that we need so much
tags on a pin i also want to try and change the color scheme so let's see something like this
or like this or maybe like this i kind of like this one the most so i'm gonna keep this
color scheme so the interface of tailwind creed looks and works kind of similar to
canva in a way because it's also drag and drop browser tool you can choose here the categories
and it will change the suggested designs uh you can choose one or another and then you can even
look for stock photos so let's say that for this one i need pancakes
and they will give you some stock photos so you can also use them in europeans here's how it works
i'm just choosing a few images over here just by clicking on the image it will automatically add
the images here to fill the space for some of the spin designs you definitely will need more than
three images so you can select four or five from the stocks photos and you will see that most of
the pins are already kind of filled with the text and the photos i definitely recommend you before
publishing the spins add your branding like your brand name at the bottom of the pins we know that
pinterest prefers accounts that provide multiple different pin designs to the platform so we will
choose several pin designs from here if you're getting lost on this page you just need to look
at the view selected designs it's a button in the top right corner of over here and you will see
which pins your designs you've selected i actually selected the same design twice i'm gonna remove it
now i have these three images that will be linked to the same url and i will click go schedule
and from here i'll choose the pinterest account we'll click confirm on the next step you will see
a window like this for three different images and they will be all linked to the same post that you
started from for the pin description i recommend you a text a little bit longer than the pin title
that should include some related keywords as well not just the main keywords on this case
the main keyword is keto pancakes and so you would include a few more combinations of keywords
if you actually wrote a post and you have an seo description for your post you can just
copy and paste that seo description and use it as a pin description
in pin destination you need to select your pinterest boards to which you're going to set
to save each of the spins i recommend a maximum of three boards but actually if you have
just a few relevant boards on your account you could save each one of these pins to just one
board if you wish to do this way but if you want to do to repeat them to several boards
choose a maximum of three boards now this is a new test account so i just have a couple of boards
here one is called kit recipes another is called test but it's just for the purpose of this video
i created this account so this is why you just have a couple of boards so now you've selected
the boards on the next step you need to select the time and they will give you some recommendations
of the best time slots i i personally try to schedule everything between 9 and 10 pm est
so i'm gonna select around nine and the schedule preview will show you that
the time will be selected for for both of the boards but these pins will be saved with at least
one week of interval between them and if you click on this weekly it's a link and tailwind will show
you that daily is not recommended weekly is the best experience for your audience and monthly is
should be used only if you have very limited content on your site so you want to avoid making
it weekly because maybe you have very few posts very few images and you don't want your account
to look repetitive the next thing you'll need to click is just schedule post and here you go
your first pin is scheduled uh now you can repeat this process for the second and the third images
and if you go back to your home page you will see the first pin scheduled over here and you will
click on the next week and you'll find the second pin scheduled over here now if you're looking
at this interface and wondering what is this tailwind communities it's actually an internal
tool where over 30 000 of tailwind other tailwind members are working together sharing each other's
pins and helping each other grow faster i believe using tailwind communities is quite important for
especially for new accounts for new pinterest accounts because you want to give an additional
boost and people in your niche who are in the same topic they tend to join the same tribes with you
and so you're promoting each other's pins once you join a few of these communities that are relevant
to the quantity you're creating on pinterest then other members of the communities will start
repeating your content and to reciprocate you also need to repeat their content that they submitted
inside these communities if you selected the right categories for your account tailwind will
initially recommend you some communities and you can click join now and once you've selected out
of those suggested communities at least one of them tailwind will show you the full interface
of tailwind communities and you will see like an instruction if you're a new user you will see
first a little instruction introduction to this tool and then you can actually start searching
for other communities once you get access to that first community you can click on the
find a community button and search for even more communities and if you search for a specific niche
or you can use some of the keywords in your niche you will find that some of the communities they
have this activity score a little bit higher than the others and usually those communities
you'll need to request join them so you'll just give a little bit information about your website
and your niche but if you see that the community is more active definitely it's worth trying to
join that community i will switch really quickly to my old tailwind account where i can show you
at least some insight because in the insights tab for this completely new pinterest account
you can't see pretty much anything because it's new and this is what you'll see in my old account
you can see the growth the following growth on your pinterest you can track how many pins
you've created how many repeats you're getting you can see some of the latest comments you
can see some of the data that's available on tailwind inside your pinterest account itself
they also have analytics tools but tailwind just gives you a little bit more information
surprisingly than pinterest itself has you might have noticed that some of the tabs that
you've seen in my old tailwind account they're not appearing here in the new taiwan account
that i just created in front of you that's because tailwind is currently in the process of migrating
all their old users to this new system to the new interface i don't know exactly how much
time it will take them to migrate all the users and that is the exact reason why i'm showing
all this tutorial in a new account that i just created because that will be the experience for
all new tailwind users from now on i wanted to mention here as well this team collaborators
feature on tailwind it allows you to use help or when you're at a certain level in your business
when you want to delegate these tasks on your social media to other people
but maybe you don't want to give actual access to your pinterest or instagram account or facebook
account uh to your social media manager so what you can do instead you give them access
as a collaborator access to your tailwind account and once they create those pins or those posts for
instagram you can just approve them uh the only work that you need you'll need to do uh basically
is just uh to approve to click approve button and that's how talent can help small business owners
who want to keep their social media accounts in their hands safely and still they want to delegate
some of their tasks to someone else and basically hire help it would be hard to put every click by
click explanation of every feature that you have on tailwind in this video tutorial on youtube
but if you want to learn more about using tailwind i actually have a video course it's about one hour
of video lessons over there i'll give you a link to that video course in the top right corner and
also you'll find it in the description down below and there is something else i wanted to mention
before wrapping up this video i wanted to show you this plans and pricing page with new plans
that taiwan is offering and a very interesting part here is that in all the plans including
the free forever plan you get the smart bio custom link that allows you to generate more traffic from
instagram in an automated way if you've been around for a while you know that instagram is
a platform where it's much harder to get traffic versus pinterest much harder to get traffic from
from it because you can only add one link in the bio of your profile and so you once you make a new
post and if you want to get traffic from you new post you you want to say like link in bio and you
have to do all this manual work and you have to remember to change the link from this link
in bio so every time it goes to your new blog post and tailwind allows you to schedule posts
on instagram and while you're scheduling the each particular post you can already uh program
tailwind to a specific post where your link in buyer will go so it will definitely increase your
traffic from instagram to a certain degree so i think that tailwind did a great job when they
added the smart bio custom link and i personally will try to use it as well on my instagram account
