How to Schedule Pins for a Blog Post

Quick Answer: Schedule 2–3 pins for every blog post. Pin the first one the day your post goes live, then add the second pin about 2 weeks later, and the third pin 2 weeks after that. Always pin to your most relevant board first, then share later pins to related boards.

How to Schedule Pins for a Blog Post

Pinterest rewards consistency and relevance. You don’t need dozens of pins per post — just a smart rhythm:

• First pin: Publish it the same day your blog post goes live. Save it to the most relevant board for maximum SEO impact.
• Second pin: Schedule it about 2 weeks later. Use a slightly different image or text overlay, and save it to another closely related board.
• Third pin: Drop it about 2 weeks after the second one. This keeps the content resurfacing without spamming Pinterest’s feed.

Board choice matters. Your first pin sets the tone for how Pinterest categorizes the post. After that, use secondary boards to broaden reach. Example: a cycling post could start on “Cycling Tips for Seniors” and later go to “Cycling Gear That Works” or “Cycling Stories.”
