How to create a seasonal planning calendar for Pinterest to explode your blog.

Last Updated on September 12, 2020 by scottkandh

Many thanks to Kate from Simple Pin Media that came up with a seasonal content planning guide called “Seasonal at a Glance” that I embellished just a little bit more and put into a different format. If you jump on to her page, she’ll provide you (after your register for it) with a handy dandy Pinterest Planner that I lovingly call a Pinterest Bible for Bloggers.   

Today’s featured board: Norman Rockwell

Please use the table below to compare it to your boards so that you can plan pins for upcoming holidays.  If you really want to get organized, add the Holidays into your Outlook Calendar with a Pinterest suffix (e.g. Election Day – Pinterest) and remind yourself with a 30 day or 60 day reminder to start pinning particularly for those items as the holiday approaches.

It’s entirely up to you whether or not your going to be adding the holiday to your Pinterest board.  But if you are in the business of trying to draw traffic to your Pinterest page (and/or blog). I think it might behoove you to planning for each of these holidays and at a minimum put at least 10 pins into each of the boards.  Some of the holidays are repeated twice, that’s because you should think of this as a planning calendar to put pins into these respective boards.  This doesn’t encompass each and every holiday, but it features a majority of them.  Happy pinning you all.

Yearly Planning Calendar

1 – I decided to put Back to school and college into one board, but you could break them out separately. 

2 –  Or you could lump put all fall Holidays into one Board called (All things Fall) and make separate sections for each. 

3 – Or put into Health and Fitness.
