Free Power-Pinning Blueprint: 300 Fresh Pins in 1 Hour [PDF Cheat Sheet]

Updated:

Let me guess…

You’re trying to keep up with Pinterest’s love language: fresh pins.

But the idea of making 300 unique graphics every month sounds like an Olympic-level creative sprint you did not train for.

If your brain short-circuits at the thought of designing hundreds of pins, stay with me.

This isn’t about hustle culture or designing until your eyeballs bleed.

This is about being clever, efficient, and maybe even having a little fun with it (yes, really).

First, What Even Is a “Fresh Pin”?

Let’s get this straight:
A fresh pin means it’s new to Pinterest’s system (by that, I mean to its moody little algorithm).

You do not need to reinvent the wheel every time.

You can create a fresh pin if you tweak each one of these elements: the title, the description (these are very easy) and the graphic itself.

So yes, you can make 300 fresh pins in a single hour.

You just need a system, and a little help from our AI friends.

The 1-Hour “Fresh Pin Factory” Workflow

You’re going to batch your way to Pinterest glory with this repeatable, remix-friendly process.

Set a timer.

Put on a playlist.

Let’s go.

Step 1: Prep Your Inputs (15 minutes)

Think of this as your Pinterest mise en place.

Before you start cooking pins, you need your ingredients ready.

What to do:

  • Choose 10 blog posts, product pages, or content ideas – ideally, these are the latest ones you have not shared on Pinterest yet or seasonally relevant
  • Add them to a simple google sheet – for each one you will have a column for the title and description (you can grab a free template here)
  • For each blog post, we need to create 30 fresh pins so we can get to our goal of 300 pins
  • In this point, we will generate titles & descriptions for these pins – use my free Pin SEO Boost chatGPT tool to do this for you (simply follow the instructions). The tool will generate 30 titles & descriptions in under one minute.
  • Repeat the process for each article URL and copy and paste your titles & descriptions to your spreadsheet.

Tip:

Remember seasonal content has to be pinned at least 3 months before the season. Yes, that means you’re sharing Christmas pins in July.

Step 2: Choose 3 Plug-and-Play Templates (5 minutes)

Choose three Canva templates, either from the template gallery or your own styles, which we will use to customize them further and make them unique.

Each template needs to tick the following boxes:

  • Has a dominant text overlay with a main headline and subheadline
  • Has one or two featured photos
  • Has a color overlay somewhere in the graphic (for example, behind your headline or at the bottom of the graphic where you display your url)

Note: your fonts should stay uniform throughout and in line with your branding.

Tip:

In Canva, you can mass generate a lot of graphics using a spreadsheet, but from my experience, it’s not great for quality pin designs. A lot of marketers use it to create simpler graphics like quotes.

Step 3: Batch, Remix & Download (30 minutes)

Now it’s time to go full Pinterest machine mode.

You’re going to use each template and create 10 new versions out of it.

Here is the principle: we have 10 articles and 3 templates, each article will have 30 fresh pins (for which we already have the titles & descriptions)

That means for each article, we are going to use each of the three templates and create 10 unique versions out of it.

Here is the math:

Template 1: create 10 versions for article 1

Template 2: create 10 versions for article 1

Template 3: create 10 versions for article 1

Now we ended up with 30 original graphics for article one, to go with our already created titles & descriptions.

Remember I said that the graphics need to unique? Here is what you will be changing in each, to make them unique:

  • switch the photos in the graphic – each one needs to have a different image – you can use the same one too if you zoom out of the photo or focus on other element of the photo
  • choose a different background color for each
  • slightly modify the headline in the graphic

That’s all! It’s a pretty simple and fast way to quickly generate 30 graphics out of 3 templates.

For each finished article, and your batch of 30 designs, download it and save it under the main keyword for your article.

Step 4: Schedule (10 minutes)

Finally at the finishing line!

We now have:

  • 30 original canva graphics for each of the 10 articles downloaded and ready to go
  • unique pin titles & pin descriptions for all 300 pins

All we need to do now is to upload them to Tailwind (or other tool) and simply schedule in advance.

This step is a simple copy paste process which is made much faster as you’re using a google sheet with all the fields populated.

You can upload all 30 pins for each article at the same time using the bulk upload feature in Tailwind, which takes less than one minute.

Pretty cool, right?

Bonus Efficiency Tips

Tailwind has a visual editor build in, so you can also upload your main graphic, and make copies in Tailwind, with custom graphic edits done already on the platform itself, instead of using Canva.

You don’t have as many editing options as in Canva, but it’s a handy little shortcut if you want to just tweak some of the colors in the image.
