Automate Pinterest Content with RSS Feeds

Easily share your mouthwatering recipes on Pinterest with minimal effort! Discover how RSS feeds can effortlessly showcase your culinary creations to a broader audience.

What's an RSS Feed?

Picture an RSS feed as your blog's messenger. It gathers your latest recipes, stories, and more, packaging them for platforms like Pinterest to know when you have something new to share.

Where to find this magical feed? Simply add /feed to your blog's web address. For example, https://www.jamilghar.com becomes https://www.jamilghar.com/feed.

Connect Your RSS Feed to Pinterest

Imagine publishing an amazing dish on your blog and your RSS feed tells Pinterest, "There's something amazing here!" Pinterest transforms your recipe into a stunning Pin and adds it to a special board you choose.

Important Considerations:

Before you implement this strategy, there are a few important points to keep in mind:

Image Selection:

The image used for the Pins will be automatically selected from the featured image of your blog post. This means that the image you use as the featured image on your post will be the same image used for the Pins on Pinterest. Keep this in mind when designing your featured images, as they will represent your content on Pinterest.

Potential Repeats on Pinterest Home Page:

Due to the way RSS feeds work, the same post can be added to multiple feeds simultaneously. For example, a post like "Keto Lasagna" could be part of the main feed, the dinner feed, the keto feed, the healthy feed, and the gluten-free feed all at once, depending on the categories and tags you've assigned. As a result, you might see repeated Pins on your Pinterest home page if the same post appears in multiple feeds.

Understanding these nuances will help you make the most of your RSS Feed Publishing Strategy while managing your content's presence on Pinterest effectively.

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure:

Add RSS Feeds to Pinterest

With RSS feeds, you can bridge updates from your website to Pinterest boards, regardless of the platform you use. Your website platform, like WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or others, takes care of creating and managing the RSS feed behind the scenes. After setup, your content turns into captivating Pins within 24 hours. No manual pinning – technology does the work.

How often will content be created or posted?

Each time you publish a new post on your website, your platform's automatic system updates the RSS feed. The magic happens when you set up auto-publishing from your RSS feed to Pinterest. Within 24 hours of publishing, your new content will be transformed into Pins and added to the specified board on Pinterest. This ensures that your latest culinary creations are always reaching your audience with minimal delay.

How to Connect RSS Feeds to Pinterest:

  1. Log in to your Pinterest business account.
  2. Click the menu's directional chevron down icon in the top-right corner.
    Pinterest Settings
  3. Access Settings.
  4. Select Bulk create Pins from the left menu.

Our RSS Feed Publishing Strategy

Ready to dive into our proven RSS Feed Publishing Strategy? Follow these steps to effortlessly share your culinary creations on Pinterest:

Main Feed: All Our Pins

1. You have a main RSS feed that collects all your blog content, including recipes, stories, and updates. This feed can be found at your blog's URL followed by /feed. For example, if your blog is at https://www.jamilghar.com, your main RSS feed is at https://www.jamilghar.com/feed.

2. Connect this main RSS feed to an "All Pins" board on Pinterest. This will serve as the central hub where all your content gets showcased.

3. Whenever you publish a new recipe, story, or update on your blog, the main RSS feed will automatically trigger the creation of a captivating Pin on your "All Pins" board. This Pin gives your audience a glimpse of your diverse range of recipes and content.

Category and Tag Feeds

1. For each category and tag on your blog (e.g., Dinner, Appetizers, Gluten-Free), dedicated RSS feeds already exist. These feeds gather content specific to those categories or tags.

2. To find these feeds, visit the category or tag page on your blog and add /feed after the URL. For example, your "Dinner" category feed can be found at https://jamilghar.com/category/recipe/dinner/feed/.

3. Connect each of these existing category and tag feeds to corresponding Pinterest boards you've created. For example, if you have a "Dinner" category feed, link it to your "Dinner Delights" board on Pinterest.

4. As you publish new content within a specific category or tagged with a particular keyword, the corresponding RSS feed will automatically transform it into a captivating Pin on the matching Pinterest board. This ensures that your followers can easily find the content they're interested in.

Corresponding Pinterest Boards

1. Create individual Pinterest boards that match each of the categories and tags you've set up for your RSS feeds.

2. These boards will be synced with your existing RSS feeds, ensuring that every new piece of content gets showcased on the relevant Pinterest board.

3. This synchronization maintains an organized and user-friendly profile for your Pinterest audience, allowing them to explore your content based on their interests.

Maximizing Visibility and Engagement

1. By following this RSS Feed Publishing Strategy, you're optimizing your presence on Pinterest.

2. As you publish new content on your blog, whether it's a recipe, story, or update, it's automatically transformed into captivating Pins on the corresponding Pinterest boards.

3. This automation not only maximizes the visibility of your recipes but also encourages engagement and interaction from your followers.

With this strategy in place, you'll consistently share your delicious creations, keeping your Pinterest profile active and engaging.
