3. PIN CONSISTENTLY AND FREQUENTLY
Frequent sharing is the key to building an audience and keeping followers engaged with your content.
Rather than spam the app with lots of Pins at once, spread your content out over a span of the whole 24 hours. This exposes you to world wide audiences and will lead to more pins, shares, and comments as a result. Take out the hard work out of pinning with a pinning planning app like Tailwind or Buffer.
