In this post, I will describe a Pinterest management tool, Tailwind by using which you can create and schedule your pins on Pinterest and view pin analytics. You can schedule pins by uploading it to Tailwind, design a pin using Canva, use the Tailwind Chrome browser extension to pin images from any website and schedule pins from Instagram.
You can also create queues for scheduling pins, reschedule published pins, view pins insights and organic activity, view profile performance and board insights and view all your pinned pins.
Here, I have created a beginner’s step by step guide and a tutorial to create and schedule your pins, create queues for scheduling pins and to change time zone settings in Tailwind.
