It’s better to pin vertical photos then horizontal.
Do not over pin. Instead pin for five minutes
here and there throughout the day.
Add a clear to the point description to every
pin. Include hashtags.
The best times to pin are 2-4 PM EST and 8-1
AM EST and on Saturday mornings.
If you want to repin your pin to multiple
boards do it over the course of a week. You do
not want to spam someone else’s feed. They
will unfollow you.

photos if you need to.
