The Best Pinterest Course for Bloggers: Scheduling Shortcuts

** Please note, I am an affiliate for this course. Everything I say about it is from experience not because I make money if you purchase. I often get asked about an option for bloggers that do not want to outsource Pinterest. This is my recommendation for the best Pinterest course every time!

If you already know the basics of Pinterest from jumping into all the free education there is out there BUT want to dive deeper, I’ve got an incredible resource for you.

Her course, Scheduling Shortcuts, is one of those rare gems that’s both practical and game-changing. It’s built for bloggers, creators and business owners who already know Pinterest matters, but don’t know how to most efficiently create the daily pins needed to keep up with the platform (my rec for that is currently 5-10 pins/day).

And after going through it myself (and continually going back to the course for refreshing and/or for new additions): I can confidently say this is the best data-driven Pinterest education I’ve seen.

What “Scheduling Shortcuts” Is All About

Scheduling Shortcuts is Amy’s signature Pinterest course designed to help you create, organize, and schedule your Pinterest content in less time, without sacrificing quality or strategy.

She walks you through:

• How to streamline your Pinterest workflow from start to finish
• The exact systems she uses for Pinterest growth
• Templates and tools that make batching pins and scheduling actually doable
• So many niche topics from “interests” (which no one talks about are are SO essential to a good strategy) to what to do stolen pins

It’s not another “Pinterest 101” course. It’s for people who already get the basics and want to dive deeper with scheduling strategies and tactics that are data-driven and effective.

Why I Trust Amy LeBlanc

While I love to randomly ingest Pinterest information just to keep abreast of what people are saying and what my potential clients might be hearing… I always end up going back to Amy LeBlanc, the creator of Scheduling Shortcuts.

Here’s why: Amy doesn’t teach fluff, and she’s very real about Pinterest instead of being a sales person for the the platform. She teaches what she has learned by studying the Pinterest engineering blog and then testing herself. I in a Slack channel with her and other Pinterest pros and regularly attend Zoom calls with her so I have been able to see her as a person, not just someone behind the screen. I really respect what she teaches and learn a lot from how she teaches.

Also, I just know it actually works from my own experience. Her strategies align with what I see daily across our client accounts and whenever I try something she recommends, I’m always pleasantly surprised with the outcome. A lot of what she teaches, we’ve fully adapted at KWLLC, so it’s what I would teach others… I’m just not capable of keeping up with a course or speaking as eloquently. That’s why I just share her stuff- straight from the source!

She’s also incredibly generous with her knowledge. Inside Scheduling Shortcuts, she doesn’t hold back. You get workflows, real examples and templates that you can use right away. She updates the course frequently which is the only way to have a course about a “social media” platform imho. It has to change when the platform changes… which is often.

What You’ll Learn Inside

Without giving too much away, here’s a peek at what you’ll walk away with:

1. A complete Pinterest scheduling system about what to pin, when to pin it and how to use a couple different scheduling tools (we use Tailwind, but she teaches a couple other options as well)
2. Smart batching methods that make content creation faster and more effective
3. How to use interests in your Pinterest SEO strategy which, as I mentioned, is not something a lot of people teach despite it being one of the main things that can help content rank faster!
4. Step-by-step workflows for Tailwind, Metricool, Pin Inspector and other tools you need to learn about if you want to be serious on Pinterest
5. Advanced trainings on things like seasonal pinning, analytics tracking, stolen pins, product tags and more

There is honestly so much. I bought this course a couple years ago at least, and there are still some modules I haven’t dove into yet.

Who It’s Perfect For

Scheduling Shortcuts is ideal if:

• You already understand Pinterest but feel like you want to go deeper because you’ve seen some success
• You want to manage your own blog or small business marketing or have a team member you want to learn Pinterest
• You want a Pinterest system that doesn’t require daily effort, but that is proven to work
• You have the time to dive into a course and devote to learning new strategies
• You want to become a Pinterest manager

If you’re serious about using Pinterest to grow your blog or business, Scheduling Shortcuts is worth every penny and genuinely what I believe to be the best Pinterest course out there.
