- I found this (relatively) new Pinterest tool and OH MY...How much time it saves! I'm not getting any payment for this review, I'm not an affiliate, I and just a customer who saves a ton of time by using it.

Thank you too!
Hi Ollie-- I'm wondering if this software also works for video pens?
@@treering5196 hello, yes it does. I have a video section in the side bar where you can get stock video and add it to your pins. Just click and drag.
@bahareh jebelli Hi Bahareh,
Ill be adding new image adjusting features in the next 10 days or so.
If you would like to be notified when this goes live, make sure you are subscribed to the newsletter on your profile screen!
Holy crow! This is exactly what I’ve needed
I gave up on Pinterest a while ago due the time it takes to make pins and I was never able to make it work for me in any of my businesses, but I will try this, Thank you!
It's such a time saver.
I'm in the same boat that you are. It always seemed like it takes so much time to make pins without having the return on investment when I could spend that time actually making products for my shop. But this tool maybe the tool that we need for those of us that would rather spend our time making designs and listings.
Me too KB 99 but I'm keen to give this tool a go - just the saving of time hopefully will be soooo worth it!
What an incredible tool - such an awesome time saver! I love the ability to customize! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like it!
You are the only person here in youtube that explain the reality with this business. I appreciate it this a lot!. thank you so much!
I appreciate that!
Another app had a similar feature, but this looks like it works better. I had tried the other and the pins did not come close to looking this good. Thanks for sharing!
OMG 🙉 I was paying Tailwind $300 per year for this type of service! So crazy that is so affordable.
I know! I've been going crazy with it.
@Kara Buntin I'm totally doing lifetime! I had recently canceled the other. It was just too much money. Thisone is a life saver. Thank you for sharing. 💚
Yeah I only knew about tailwind, but that was just for scheduling this generates branded stuff for you!! I love it.
Perfect timing for this been trying to step up my Pinterest game, but it can be quite time consuming especially because Pinterest has a strange size for graphics.
Love that there’s a free option to try at first too. Honestly thanks for finding and sharing this tool! I’ve mainly focused on video and such for IG and TikTok and while that’s driven traffic, I’d like to expand my reach a bit more.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Mrs Quills, I also have a video section where you can drag and drop in stock video from pexels onto your pins to create video pins or idea pins.
Dear Kara...Thank you so much! I have tried the tool today and it looks that it's a game changer! Super user friendly. Thank you once again
It makes it so much faster to make the pins...
This tool is great - thank you for sharing. I tested it over the weekend after our Friday E-Shop discussion and I just signed up for the lifetime plan
Great to hear! Did the payment work okay for you? I was having trouble with it on Paypal's end and Ollie is working on it.
@@KaraBuntin - worked fine. Got my receipt from PayPal. I did get a 2nd message saying my “recurring pmt to pin generator was cancelled”. I assume that’s because it doesn’t need a recurring pay plan since I did the lifetime option. And I checked my transaction history and it shows the payment so I’m all set.
@@teresabennett6216 I think that mine was weird because I upgraded from the annual to the lifetime, so he's checking it for me!
@@KaraBuntin Yeah, that makes sense. I’m excited, this is going to be such a time saver!
Hi guys, It worked, but it looks like PayPal is only going to bill you for it in the next billing cycle. It’s not a bug, but just some funky logic there. I'll see if I can make it charge a pro-rata amount or something when switching.
I feel pain in my chest thinking about all the useless hours I have spent making Pinterest pins for these years... :-D
ME TOOO! The first time I hit "generate pins" on this I think I screamed.
I agree, creating those pins are a pain. I'd rather put my creativity on my designs than on making pins for my designs.
Great share Kara, thankyou so much for sharing this excellent tool which will save me a tone of hours hard work🙂
Glad it was helpful!
This great ..thank you Kara
You're so welcome!
Awesome. Thanks for the recommendation, Kara!
You’re welcome!
That's such a helpful tool! Thank you Kara!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Kara.
you're welcome!
I LOVE this! Can't wait to start pinning! Pintrest for the WIN!
Good luck!!
Fantastic tool .... thanks Kara.
You are so welcome!
@@KaraBuntin 👍🙂
Very interesting!
Thanks for the info. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Wow great information very helpful. Thanks for sharing 🌷🦋🐌
Glad it was helpful!
Wooooowwwww what a game changer!!!! Thank you so so much for your knowledge!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
This is such an amazing tool. After watching your video, I tried out the free version. So easy!! I was sad when I ran out of free pins because I was having so much fun creating new pins. I use another scheduler and honestly dred going in to create new pins. This was enjoyable!
I think I'll get the lifetime membership. I noticed that's it's $199 on your screen, but on the website it's $249. Was that a special promotion 3 weeks ago? Even $249 is totally worth it! Thank you for sharing this.
!
he was messing around with the pricing, he had reduced it temporarily then raised it back up.
@@KaraBuntin got it, thanks!
Thank you so much! This is just what I needed.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Kara thanks for the video. Should we make our Etsy descriptions more 'pinterest SEO friendly' if they are pulled automatically from the listing?
As long as you’re writing them using basic SEO principles you should be fine!
Thank you Kara so much for sharing!
Of course!!
Thanks for the information! I am finding that my photos being pulled from Etsy are not cropped very well. Is there a way to change the size of the photo once in the generator?
I don’t think so but contact Ollie, his info is in a pinned comment on this video.
Wow, that is Amazing!
It is, I hope a lot of people find out about it because it will save SO MUCH TIME
This is Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
Soo cool!! Have you used Tailwind (and Tailwind Create tool)? If so can you compare them? What are your thoughts between the two?
I have, Tailwind create doesn't put the title or description into the pin, so it's more editing required. Pingenerator is faster.
Ahhhh the famous tool ❤️👍💕
Revealed!
This looks great. You mentioned you do/will continue using Buffer. Is this because the pin generator only schedules on Pinterest, and you'll continue using buffer to schedule posts on facebook, etc. or?
I use Buffer to schedule mor than just Pinterest so that's basically it!
I worked on pin generator last night and today. I was excited about using it and while I know it is new and there may be bugs but I have not found the ease of use at this point. My descriptions were cut off mid sentence which is understandable but I had to go in and manually change that on each pin. My boards were not accessible and once I logged out, all of my work was lost. Set it up again and was unable to schedule the pins, the scheduling icon did not work. I instead went to the scheduling button on the top right and it only set up 3 pins and 1 was duplicated.
Once it does work, do all of the pins need to be scheduled for the same board? Because I wouldn't want 10 fairly similar looking pins on one board, even at different times. Generally I spread the same product out over several boards so that boards don't look mass produced. Any suggestions?
First, contact Ollie for any bugs, he probably has to look at your account to see what's going on. He told someone in my EShop group that we'll be able to save brand colors etc in the next couple of weeks. I pin to different boards in the same session, you just have to switch them before you save the pin. I've found that sometimes when I'm switching between Pinterest accounts the boards lag, but if you go do it again it works fine.
Do I need to really design a pin or can I just use pics from my Etsy listing? How is this different from uploading pics to Pinterest and adding the link and description of the item in my Etsy store one by one, which also takes only around 30 seconds?
You can do it that way, but with new designs Pinterest considers that a new image every time. You can't pin the same picture multiple times on its own or Pinterest won't show it to as many people.
Hi Kara thanks so much for sharing this site, I have signed up and tried site out but I have run into an issue and hope you can assist me. When I put my etsy listing it doesnt look like yours and the only thing it generates is sign into etsy on screen. Can you tell me how to fix this? Thanks
Make sure that you put the listing in up to the number only, but after that you have to contact the developer. There’s a chat button on the page at the bottom right.
Will you be adding this to your Pinterest class?
I tried and I love it. Thanks. Solves my problem of being bad at even basic graphic design.
Yes! I'll do a video on it soon.
I love this but I don't understand where you get the info for the section "Select a board to pin" When I click on it only says no option and I can't pin anything until I fill it in. Any help would be great!
IF your account is connected to your Pinterest account, it will pull up all the boards that you have as options int he dropdown box. If nothing is showing up, I would guess that you should make sure you've connected your Pinterest account in your account settings.
@@KaraBuntin Thanks for getting back to me Kara. I checked and my Pinterest account is listed. Also, I have pinned 20 pins previously, (last week actually) and it went fine. However, the day they pinned my Pinterest account was deactivated for an unknown reason but I was able to get it reactivated right away. Not sure if that has anything to do with why it isn't finding my boards? Thanks for any help.
Never mind! I just deleted the connection and reconnected the accounts and it found my boards! Thank you!
Should I always schedule pins or just pin them right away to my Pinterest account??
I do both. That way you can pin when you feel like it, but you'll always have something going up on a regular basis.
@@KaraBuntin Gotcha, okay! So for example, for one pin, you trigger both the posting immediately as well as the scheduling?
@@Kuromichi08 I never pin the same thing twice, Pinterest doesn't like that anymore. I schedule one pin per day then jsut create new ones when I feel like it or have some time, and pin those also.
@@KaraBuntin Hi Kara, do you re-pin your pins to other people's group boards or you only create pins on your board(s) once and that's it? My other question is, I didn't see the field for tags (key words) in Pin generator? Is there one? Thank you
@@maggip7021 What I do with Pin Generator is create the images then I download them and schedule them or pin them directly so that I can control what the descriptions and titles are. Sometimes if you go through a scheduler the connection to Pinterest messes them up because Pinterest has changed something. I don't use group boards other than the one that I have for my Pinterest class members.
Would you add hashtags in your description also?
no, but you can. They go back and forth about whether hashtags are even used or not.
Okay - joined and been on the site now for 3 hours and it is not working correctly. It will not allow me to post an aviator and when I go to schedule a pin it asks me to connect the Pinterest account and it's already connected...since you seem to have direct line with the creator perhaps you can share this experience. I'm discouraged that this is not working and I've already paid for it bc you sold it so well!
You should contact him directly through the chat window on the site, he might have to look at your account specifically. I have a feeling we crashed the app today.
Hi Chrys, please contact me via the website and ill do my best to resolve your issue. If I am unable to, I am happy to refund you in full.
i`ve found that only my older pins get me traffic really, like 7 year old pins.
It seems that way recently, but I've been getting a lot of activity on more recent ones that happen to be seasonal. Pinterest is definitely showing things based on activity, not just keywords. That's not new, but it's really obvious right now.
If am clueless, will this help? More coffee, lol!
It will, but you'll still need to set your account up the right way. That's what my class is for ;)
@@KaraBuntin Already looking into that, ty!
@@KaraBuntin Maybe replacing a water heater instead today, tho, haha!
Does this do video as well??????
He said that's one of the things he's working on for it but I don't know if it's been added yet.
Tailwind Create seems better no?
There was something about tailwind that wasn’t as good as pingenerator as far as the data that it pulls in, but i can’t remember what it was. I do know that when i used tailwind it was for the smart loop feature, but since pinterest doesn’t want repins anymore, that’s not as useful as it was in the past.
No, the templates are so old fashioned.
Hi Can I find an affiliate for my Etsy site?
You mean someone who would want to post your links?
@@KaraBuntin Yes, please Something that will help promote my Etsy site
I meant to say someone
@@eliezershaar6912 I don't know that there's a way to find people without just saying "if you're an affiliate promote my shop" as an announcement somewhere!
