    Why Moments (Not Just Holidays) Boost Your Pins for Evergreen Pinterest Traffic

    Holidays aren’t the only time to get more eyes on your pins. In fact, the “everyday” moments — from a first apartment move-in to your audience’s first hot coffee of fall — can often bring more traffic than Christmas or Black Friday.

    In this episode of the Pin & Plan Podcast, we’re diving into:

    • What a “moment” is and why it matters for your Pinterest SEO

    • Common mistakes pinners make when trying to use moments

    • My top go-to sources for finding trending, moment-worthy ideas (including Pinterest Predicts and Google Trends)

    • How to repurpose your existing content into moment-driven pins with before-and-after examples

    • The right way to use the same pin for different occasions without getting flagged as spam

    💡 Pin & Plan Tip of the Week: Take one existing pin and give it a “moment” makeover — change the title and description to tie it to a life stage, event, or seasonal mood, then repin it to a relevant board.

    🚀 3-Day Action Challenge:
    Day 1 → Find 3–5 moments your audience cares about.
    Day 2 → Pick one existing piece of content that fits a moment.
    Day 3 → Create a pin for that moment and publish it.

    🎧 Listen in to start getting those all-year-round traffic spikes — no holiday required.

    📌 Pinterest CTA
    Try the challenge and tag me @bodymindmood on the PBC so I can see your pin!

    Is Your Pinterest Content AIO-Ready?

    Let’s talk about how AI is already scanning your Pins — and what you can do to show up in search.

    If you’ve ever posted a Pin that looked amazing — you know, clean design, catchy colors, the whole aesthetic — and then it completely flopped... this episode is for you.

    Because what’s happening behind the scenes of Pinterest (and everywhere else online) is changing fast. AI tools like Google’s SGE, ChatGPT, and even Pinterest’s own internal search are no longer just matching keywords — they’re summarizing, interpreting, and recommending content based on how clear and helpful it is.

    And that’s where AIO — AI Optimization — comes in.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly what AIO means in plain language, how it connects to Pinterest SEO, and why vague Pin titles or homepage links might be costing you traffic you didn’t even know you were missing. You’ll learn how to make small but meaningful changes to your Pins, boards, and blog links so that both people and AI tools can understand and recommend what you’re creating.

    We’ll go through a 5-step checklist together, with real Pinterest examples and easy tweaks you can start using today. I’m also sharing a real Q&A from the Pinterest Business Community about Pinterest’s new AI-generated image labels — and how that shift affects visibility for all of us.

    So if your content is getting lost in the scroll or skipped over in AI summaries, this episode will help you get ahead of it — without starting from scratch.

    🎁 Want the free AIO Pinterest Checklist I mentioned?



    👉 If you loved this episode, don’t keep it to yourself!


    Share it with your biz bestie, drop a question or win inside the Pinterest Business Community, or tag me on Instagram to tell me your biggest takeaway. I’d love to know what you’re working on — and how you’re optimizing it.

    And don’t forget to hit follow — because next week, we’re talking about how to format your content in a way that AI tools love to summarize. Until then… pin with purpose and plan with strategy.

    Batch It Like a Boss: How to Plan a Month of Pinterest in Just 1–2 Sessions

    Ever feel like Pinterest is always looming in the background of your business like… “Hi, you forgot to post again”? 😅

    Same. Until I figured out how to batch like a boss.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact 4-part system I use (and teach my clients) to plan and schedule a full month of Pinterest content — in just one or two focused sessions.

    No more living in your Canva or a Adobe tab. No more winging it with random Pins.

    And guess what? When you start batching, it becomes so much easier to repurpose your content, show up consistently, and stop second-guessing every post.


    The Pinterest Batching Framework

    I’ll walk you through the 4 steps I follow every month:

  • Theme Your Month — pick 1–2 content goals

  • Choose 3–5 Pin Styles for each topic (think: tips, testimonials, carousels)

  • Batch Create Your Pins — set a 60–90 minute window and stick to templates

    Schedule Strategically — start with your best board and repin smart.


    The Batch-Readiness Mini Test

    Before you sit down to batch, ask yourself:

    ✅ Can I name 3 core topics I want to focus on this month?
    ✅ Do I have at least 1 piece of content (blog, freebie, offer) for each one?
    ✅ Do I have templates or a go-to style I can use to save time?

    Said YES to all 3? You’re ready to batch like a pro.
    Said NO to any? I’ll help you get there inside the episode.


    Create a “Pin-First” Asset Folder.

    Start dropping copies of your blog posts, offers, and content ideas into a dedicated folder with:

    ✔️ Your go-to Pin templates
    ✔️ Headline variations
    ✔️ Keywords + links

    This one folder will save you HOURS when batching time rolls around.


    Podcast Poll:

    How often do you currently batch your Pinterest content?

    Let me know on Spotify or tag me on the PBC @bodymindmood
    Your vote = insight for a future episode (and yes, I do read them all 😉)


    🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Amazon Music — and don’t forget to follow so you never miss a Thursday drop.


    Let batching set you free. 💻☕ You deserve hot coffee and high-performing Pins.

    How to Refresh & Reuse Old Pins (Without Starting from Scratch Every Week)

    Hey Amazing Listeners👋



    Sick of creating new Pins every week like it’s a full-time job? SAME.
    That’s why this week we’re talking about how to refresh and reuse old Pins — without starting from scratch.



    In Episode 6, you’ll learn:


    Why repinning + refreshing your best Pins is a strategy, not laziness✨

    3 simple ways to give old Pins a fresh update

    A new Mini Pinterest Test — the 3-Style Remix — that helps you reuse content in minutes


    What to do with your top-performing Pins from the past year

    1. Tweak the Headline

    Change up the hook.
    ‘Healthy Breakfast Ideas’ → ‘5 Quick Breakfasts for Busy Moms’
    Same content. New angle.

    2. Update the Design

    Use the same title, but change the layout, image, or font style. Pinterest sees this as a brand new Pin!

    3. Switch the CTA

    Try ‘Read the Post’ → ‘Grab the Free Checklist’ or ‘Pin Now, Read Later’

    These changes keep your content fresh in the algorithm and give your audience a new reason to click.


    Create a Reuse-First Content Folder.”

    Make one board on Pinterest or one folder in Canva and title it: “Reuse These.”
    Drop in Pins that performed well — your all-stars.
    Each week, pick 1 and give it a refresh — headline, color, layout, CTA — and republish.

    It saves time, keeps your strategy working, and honestly? Feels like a creative cheat code.


    Remember:

    How to Track What’s Actually Working on Pinterest — So You Can Pin Smarter, Not Harder

    Hey Pinterest Pioneer! 👋 Ready to stop guessing and start Pinning smarter? This week’s episode breaks down how to track what’s working so you can grow your reach, clicks, and sign-ups without spinning your wheels.

    here's what were talking about...
    Why tracking is your Pinterest superpower
    The only 5 numbers you need to check
    How to use your free Pin Tracker Sheet (linked below!)
    A fresh Mini Pinterest Test for your CTAs so you get more clicks
    A real PBC Q&A about tracking sign-ups, not just clicks


    Sharing is Caring 🤗

    Tracking helps you ↴
    ✅ Spot which designs, headlines, and CTAs drive real traffic✅ Know which boards are bringing you clicks — and which ones need a refresh✅ Test new ideas on purpose — not by accident


    Here’s what really matters — Pinterest gives you a lot of shiny numbers, but you don’t need them all.

    Focus on ↴

    ✅ Impressions: How many people saw your Pin?✅ Saves: Did they think it was good enough to keep?✅ Outbound Clicks: The gold standard — did they click your link?✅ Top Boards: Which boards send you the most traffic?✅ Top Pins: Which images, headlines, and CTAs do best?


    my fav ↴

    The CTA ‘Would You?’ Test

    Pull up 3 of your Pins and ask:
    👉 If you were your dream client, would you click this?👉 Does the CTA tell you exactly what happens next?👉 Is it clear why they should click NOW instead of later?

    If your CTA is just ‘Read More’ — try ‘Read More + Get the Freebie’ or ‘Read More + Save This.’ It’s one tiny word, but it can make a massive difference.

    Use this test before you schedule new Pins — your future clicks will thank you.


    💬 Grab Your Free Pin Tracker: Get it now — then use it every Friday for 10 minutes - total everything for the month, trust me it’ll change how you Pin 📌

    As Promised ↴


    CTAs you can use:

    Save this for later – Classic and effective, especially for tutorials or checklists.
    Click to read the full post – Great for blog content or educational pins.
    Try this idea – Works well for recipes, DIYs, workouts, or outfit inspo.
    Tap for details – Perfect for product breakdowns.
    Grab the free guide – If you’re offering a freebie or lead magnet.
    Pin now, come back later – Helpful for seasonal or time-sensitive content.
    Watch how it’s done – Encourages views on video.
    Shop the look – Ideal for merchants, fashion, or product-based pins.
    Join the challenge – Fun and inviting for fitness, mindset, or biz niches.
    Learn the steps – Clear and action-focused for tutorials or how-tos.


    The 3 Second Pin Test

    When you finish a Pin design, look at it on your phone and ask:
    👉 In 3 seconds, can I tell exactly what this Pin is about?👉 Do I know what I’ll get if I click?👉 Is the text easy to read — even when I’m squinting at it small?

    If not — tweak it until the answer’s yes. Your audience scrolls fast — you get 3 seconds to win them over.


    Pin & Plan Tip of the Week:

    📌 Create One Pin, Test Three Headlines

    Next time you make a Pin, don’t stop at one title. Write 3 different headlines for the same idea, and Pin them all.

    You’ll see which one actually gets the clicks — and it’s often not the one you think! Pinterest rewards fresh variations, so this is SEO-friendly, too.

    Your Pinterest Boards Are a Mess — Let’s Fix That (Board Clean-Up + SEO Tips You Can Do Today)

    This week’s episode is your no-fluff guide to cleaning up your boards so Pinterest knows exactly who to show your Pins to — and your strategy finally works for you.

    What I'm talking about on today's show:
    ✨ Why cluttered, outdated, or too-many boards confuse Pinterest
    ✨ How fewer, focused boards will boost your reach
    ✨ My step-by-step Board Audit Checklist so you can do this TODAY
    ✨ Easy SEO tweaks that actually help you get found
    ✨ A real Q&A from the Pinterest Business Community: does deleting old Pins help? (Hint: fresh Pins win.)
    ✨ And a simple Board Description Check-Up for quick results

    Pinterest Tips + Takeaways that you can use now:

    Quick Board Audit Checklist

    Step 1 — Check your board titles.
    Skip the cute but vague names. Your title is your keyword. For example, ‘Dreamy Things’ won’t get found — but ‘Minimalist Home Office Ideas’ will.

    Step 2 — Archive or merge boards that don’t fit.
    If a board doesn’t match your current offers or you haven’t touched it in years, let it go. Or merge it into a more relevant board so you keep any good Pins.

    Step 3 — Refresh your board descriptions.
    Write one or two sentences that clearly say what the board is about, using keywords people actually search for. Talk like a human, not a spam bot.

    Example: “Discover cozy modern farmhouse kitchen ideas, easy DIYs, and budget-friendly updates.”

    Step 4 — Put your best boards up front.
    Rearrange your boards so your highest-impact ones are at the top. If you run seasonal promos — like holiday gift guides — move those up when it’s time.

    Step 5 — Fill any gaps.
    Look at your offers. Do you have boards for each piece of what you do? If you’re a Squarespace designer, you should have boards for branding tips, website inspiration, and maybe SEO basics. Make your boards support your entire client journey.


    SEO Tips That Actually Work

    ✅ Use keywords people really search for — the words they’d actually type when they’re looking for solutions. ‘DIY closet organization ideas’ beats ‘Closet Vibes 2024’ every time.

    ✅ Put the main keyword at the beginning of your board title — it carries the most SEO weight.

    ✅ Write your descriptions like you’re talking to your dream client. No word salad, no keyword stuffing.

    ✅ Keep your boards alive — Pin regularly. Pinterest loves signs of life.


    📌 Board Description Quick-Check:

    Pull up your top three boards and run them through this:

    ✅ Does it clearly explain what the board’s about?
    ✅ Are you using real keywords your people actually search for?
    ✅ Does it sound like you, not a robot?
    ✅ Does it make someone want to follow that board or save Pins?
    ✅ Is it actually up to date with what you Pin now?

    If you said ‘no’ to even one — update it today. Seriously, this tiny tweak keeps giving you SEO juice for months.

    ✅ Pin it to the most relevant board FIRST

    ✅ Include your link—always, always include your link
    ✅ Schedule it out (manually or with Tailwind)
    ✅ Repin to 1–2 other boards over time


    Turn One Blog Post into Five Pins
    Make your content work harder by breaking it into quotes, tips, carousels, and mini graphics. One blog = weeks of Pinterest visibility.

    📌 Turn 1 blog post into 5 unique Pins

    Here’s how:

    1. Pull a quote – bold graphic

    2. Turn 3 takeaways into a carousel

    3. List the benefits – “What you’ll learn”

    4. Ask a question as the hook

    5. Drop a stat or mini testimonial

    Boom—1 blog = 5 Pins = months of traffic.

    📌 Pin & Plan Tip of the Week:
    Master Your Pinterest Bio
    Get seen and searched by the right audience with an SEO-powered, crystal-clear Pinterest bio. I’ll tell you exactly what to include check out your checklist below 👇🏻

    Your Pinterest bio is prime search real estate. It tells the algorithm (and your audience) who you help, what you do, and why they should click.

    Here’s your Pinterest Bio Refresh Checklist:

    • Who you help – “For wellness coaches…”

    • What you offer – “…using holistic systems to book more clients.”

    • Add your lead magnet or freebie link

    • Use 2–3 keywords: “wellness coach,” “client systems,” “book more clients”

    • CTA: “DM me ‘Yes!’ for Pinterest tips every week”

    Bonus Move:
    Pin a short vertical Featured Pin to your profile board. Make it super clickable and keyword optimized—watch those numbers shift.
