First off, there are a few reasons I really don’t like Tailwind, and I don’t recommend it to my clients either.

Why don’t I recommend Tailwind

Costs money- like $15 bucks. As a new business owner, funds are hard to come buy, and consistent funds that need to come out each month are harder. So it’s good to know you can succeed on Pinterest without Tailwind.
Too much time- yes… I am on Pinterest 5-10 min 3-5 days a week. As a result, it’s not hours a week but, an hour or less a week.
So confusing- seriously though, who wants to learn another platform? Learning Pinterest is hard enough, so save yourself the frustration and confusion and just don’t worry about Tailwind. Chances are you’ll only use about 20% of what it has to offer.. thus, leaving money on the table.

There are a few reasons why I prefer manual pinning vs tailwind. Here they are:

I get to start my workday focusing on my clients! What a better way to hone in on what you do for your clients and understand their needs than spending 5-10 min thinking of them, and pinning for them.
It’s super simple when you have an organized strategy and system in place. I mean, no worry about how many days apart, or hours apart, or best “time slots” to put your pins in.
Way less confusing! You don’t even have to use the Pinterest scheduler (I don’t).
Simple analytics. Tailwind has a huge slew of analytics. So you really don’t need all those to grow your business and see how your pins are doing. All the analytics you need, are the simple on-point ones Pinterest provides with your business profile.
