How to Bring New Life to Old Pins With Viralwoot

How to Bring New Life to Old Pins With Viralwoot

The benefits of drip pinning are two-fold. First, it exposes your pins to new followers who, until now, may not have seen them. New members of your audience aren’t going to necessarily check out every Pin that you have done in the past. Second, Pinterest users don’t necessarily log into their account every day. Older followers who may not have seen your content have another opportunity when you repin. The result is increased website traffic and greater engagement.

So essentially you have the opportunity to create a market for your older pins without having to generate new content/pins every other week. The basic idea behind this is simple: Your audience might not have seen your older content. Also, your new audience might like your old content but they have no way to check them out because your pins are so far behind in your feed.

Let’s see how this process works.

Click on Content Manager in the left sidebar and then click Drip Pinning. You’ll see a list of boards for your account similar to that shown below.

Viralwoot Drip Pins

If you have a lot of boards, you can page through them or set the display to show 10, 25, 50 or 100 entries per page. You can also search for a particular by typing its name in the search field. Plus you can sort the display either by board name or Action. For example, you may want to see all boards with Drip Pins listed first.

In this example, there are two boards with active campaigns. We can edit or stop their execution directly from this screen if we wish. Right now we’re going to create a new drip, so we’ll click on the Create Drip button for the board that we want to create a campaign. We can choose to build drips for old Pins or new ones. Let’s do Drip Old Pins first.

Drip Old Pins

First, we select the number of old Pins that we want to pin on a daily basis. Next, we can add some hashtags that may help our Pins become more discoverable. Viralwoot looks at your board and suggests some appropriate hashtags, based on your board’s content, but you can always add you own, or none at all if you wish. Finally, click on the checkbox if you want Viralwoot to delete the old Pin after it has been republished. Select this option if you’re concerned about having the same Pin appear too many times on your board.

Drip New Pins

Drip New Pins is a feature specially create for users who don’t have many Pins or are starting up with Pinterest and don’t have much content either. The reality is that not all companies are great at generating content for Pinterest on a regular basis. With Drip New Pins, you can keep your board looking fresh. Just select the category and number of daily pins, and our system finds and pins active Pins that are getting good engagement on the Viralwoot platform.

Drip New Pins

Note that you can only have one Drip type with each board. You can only have Drip Old Pins or Drip New Pins, but you can’t do both on the same board. So now you’ve created a constant drip of your older pins coupled with your new content. This way you can utilize your old pins and channel them to your new audience.

Why Pinterest Scheduler is important?

Ignoring Pinterest is no longer an option for you if you want your business to thrive online. The number of users that use Pinterest in a month has reached about 100 million this year. This presents an immense oppurtunity for online business users to build their brand image, extend their online presence, and promote their goods and services.

Scheduling posts can allow you to become more consistent in promoting products and services to online visitors. By automating posts using a Pinterest scheduler, you can ensure that the posts are made at the right time to have a maximum impact on the online visitors. Instead of spending time and money having to post every day, you can greatly ease the task by scheduling posts for future dates.

Benefits of Scheduling Pinterest Posts

If you are already using Pinterest to promote your brand and/or products, you may already know that posting on Pinterest or any other social media site is a full-time job. You have to create engaging posts that resonate with online audiences.

Scheduling posts greatly eases your task of posting them regularly. You can use it to spread your posts over future dates so that you don’t overwhelm your audience. By scheduling posts in the future, you can review them to ensure that they comply with ethical social media guidelines and the general trends. Other value added benefits of scheduling Pinterest posts include:

  • Scheduling posts allow you to post more consistently. You can set up a stable schedule that allows you to post all at once or spread them over a week.
  • Scheduling posts makes it more likely that you won’t miss a post during the time that matters the most. It ensures that the posts are able to capitalize on important occasions and gain maximum benefits.
  • You can take some time off when you schedule tasks using a Pinterest scheduler. Think about it; who wants to be busy posting pins during vacations or public holidays? Using a scheduling tool allows you to create posts in advance so that you can take time out during the holidays without worrying about not making the most of the opportunity to reach clients.
  • Using a Pinterest scheduler, you can create posts during off hours. For instance, you can post updates anytime between 5:00 pm to 9:00 am without being present at the office. Moreover, you can also post updates during the weekends, when your audience is more likely to be online. This maximizes the effectiveness of Pinterest posts in promoting your products and services.

But the question is how exactly do you go about scheduling posts on Pinterest?

The good news is that you can find various Pinterest scheduler tools online to automate your Pinterest posts. However, some may not be good enough for the task.
