Pinterest drives to the majority of traffic to blogs nowadays. It’s used by so many to save and ‘bookmark’ items and recipes. If you aren’t using a Pinterest scheduling tool, I highly recommend that you start. Below are good schedulers to choose from.
ViralTag – You can share the account with other to make this expense more economical.
Tailwind – Simple to use with great analytics
Ahalogy – another great Pinterest tool
Boardbooster – I’ve heard great things about BoardBooster, but haven’t tried it myself.
Simple Pin Media – If you simply don’t have time to pin, hire Simple Pin Media to do it for you!
