How to Automate Your Blog with Pinterest
How to Automate Your Blog with Pinterest
When I first starting Ang Around The Globe it was more for fun than it was business-y. It was to document my travels and track pretty much everything in my life. Now I use Ang Around The Globe for all sorts of things from tracking my blogging journey to my business journey to my travels. Prior to starting my blog I never knew how difficult it would be to consistently write. It’s definitely hard, but learning how to automate your blog is setting yourself up for success.
Automating your blog with Pinterest is one of the best things you can do for your blog. I’ve received amazing leads and traffic from Pinterest and have grown my Pinterest to having zero monthly viewers to 81k monthly viewers in just a few weeks.
In this post I wanted to talk about how I automate my WordPress blog using Pinterest and why its so important. Here’s how and why you should automate your blog:
1. Auto Schedule Your Blog Posts
Auto-scheduling your blog posts is crucial to your blogs success. Readers won’t want to read your posts if you aren’t consistent with your content or posting schedule. Making a promise to your readers that you’ll post once or twice a week holds you accountable to meeting your deadlines. Not meeting these deadlines will decrease your credibility as a blogger and deter readers away from your blog.
I create a content calendar (I just use my calendar on my laptop) for my blog where I create deadlines for when I need to post. Meeting these deadlines is so so important and I highly recommend trying to work ahead of your schedule. I do my very best to work ahead of my deadlines in order to remove stress off my shoulders. On WordPress you can auto-schedule your blog to publish on different days (as seen below) which I highly recommend doing!
My content calendar is set to post every Sunday and Wednesday and I auto-schedule my blog posts to publish twice a week. I try to do my best to consistently write every day which I still struggle sometimes with. However, getting into a habit of writing everyday is a very good habit to start early! The sooner you start to write more, the faster you’ll be able to automate your blog.
2. Leverage the Tailwind App
The Tailwind App is everything you need and more in order to automate your blog posts by pinning on Pinterest.
The Tailwind App is my secret weapon to growing my blog. It’s my best friend as a blogger. Basically this app is a network of bloggers that support and help other bloggers. You can join tribes in your specific niche and auto-schedule pins accordingly. For example, I am in a couple different travel tribes and can post my blog posts into these tribes. One of the best parts is that you can re-pin other rich-content posts from other bloggers in the tribe and they’ll return the favor! It’s a give before you get kind of concept and the more you pin other content, the more pins you’ll get!
The Tailwind app is everything you need to start automating your blog posts on Pinterest. It allows you to optimize the times you post on Pinterest and creates a network full of bloggers in your niche! My engagement with my blog posts dramatically increased after I started using this app!
One of my favorite things about the Tailwind App is that I am able to auto-schedule my own blog posts into my own boards. As seen above, you can schedule your blog posts to pin to different boards on your dashboard. You then can optimize these posts to publish at the best times for the best results. This is the best for consistently keeping your Pinterest up to date without having to sit there pinning on your phone.
Basically Tailwind allowed me to both automate and optimize my blog using Pinterest which has given me awesome and consistent results!!
