Carly's Binder Pinning Story
- Carly Campbell used a physical paper binder to organize her daily pinning to over 100 boards before any schedulers existed.
- She tracked blog posts and board pinning dates meticulously to maintain consistency and growth.
Third-Party vs Native Scheduler Pros
- Third-party schedulers allow scheduling pins far in advance, with calendar views and sometimes AI content generation.
- However, native Pinterest scheduler limits scheduling to 100 pins and six weeks ahead, but it's safer and free.
