Knowing when is the right and wrong time to pin can be tricky. So, it is best to experiment at different times. To see which one gives you the highest engagement.
2. If you have a business account, look into your analytics.

You can see how your pins are doing and which days give you the most traffic. So, if you do not have a business account, I recommend you sign up for one.

Another method you can try is finding resources online that explain what time and days of the week are best to post. I recommend taking a look at the websites below.
4. Use a social management tool.
If you need help managing your social media, use a social management tool to schedule content in advance.
Some to look into include Tailwind, ContentStudio, Buffer, Hootsuite, and more.
Other tricks you can use to help you gain traffic with Pinterest.
Use appealing images with bright and bold colors.
Do cross-promotion by joining groups that fit your niche.
