Introducing dlvr.it for Pinterest: Automatically Create Pins from RSS

How much time do you spend finding, creating and sharing images?

Personally, I’ve spent way too much time trying to find the perfect image for a blog post and, even more, time, agonizing over how to share it correctly across social media.

It’s not new news that using images on social media is important to stand out in the crowded social media landscape. In fact, that’s why people are flocking to Pinterest.

Currently, 100 million people actively use Pinterest!

Isn’t it time to make your images work for you?

Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve made sharing images to Pinterest seamless with the launch of dlvr.it for Pinterest.  All you need is an RSS feed and a little creativity.

This feature is available today for all dlvr.it customers with a paid account.

Let’s take a deeper look at how dlvr.it for Pinterest simplifies your life and helps boost your social media reach:

Simplification #1: Cuts Pinterest Pinning time in half

We often hear from small business owners that removing even one step in the social media sharing process is hugely beneficial.

Here’s an example of the typical workflow for sharing content on Pinterest:

• Step 1: Find and download images to support a blog post
• Step 2: Log into Pinterest
• Step 3: Write a short description of the blog post for Pinterest
• Step 4: Upload an image to Pinterest

With dlvr.it, you can skip the logging in and uploading steps, cutting your Pinterest Pinning timing in half!

With dlvr.it for Pinterest, there is no need to manually create Pinterest Pins – ever again!

For example, every blog post we create, we use dlvr.it’s smart automation tools to share the blog post across Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more.

• Typically, we would create a Pinterest description and manually upload the supporting image and text to Pinterest. That is if we remember!
• Often we create and schedule blog posts weeks in advance. We have to remember each day to upload the newest blog post image to Pinterest.

Instead, now we simply schedule Pinterest within dlvr.it.

Auto-magically, all our Pins go live at the same time the blog post goes live – even when they are scheduled weeks in advance!

Time-saving workflow:

Here’s an example of the workflow where you can see how using dlv.it’s smart automation for Pinterest eliminates most of the steps. It only takes an RSS feed and a few clicks to add Pinterest to your existing dlvr.it account.

Remember the typical four-step workflow mentioned above for sharing content on Pinterest?

Here’s the new workflow:

• Step 1: Find and download images to support your blog post
• Step 2: Wait, there is no step 2!

Yes, that’s it!
