Best time to post on Pinterest for Education

For teachers, tutors and course creators on Pinterest. Your audience: students and lifelong learners who want a hard topic made simple. Pinterest is a search engine: pin titles allow 100 characters and descriptions 500, and both should use the words people search.

Starting times for education on Pinterest

Education usually reaches a consumer audience, so start with evenings 8–11 PM and weekends in your audience's time zone. Strongest days on Pinterest are usually Friday to Sunday.

A sample week

TuesdayOne hard concept explained with a simple analogy
ThursdayA study technique, tested and explained
FridayCommon exam mistakes and how to avoid them
SaturdayA 60-second mini-lesson with a quiz question
SundayA student question answered in detail

These are starting points from widely reported engagement patterns, not guarantees. Post at them for two or three weeks, compare reach per post, and keep the winners.

Mistakes education accounts make on Pinterest

  • Explaining topics in text only, when a quick visual would teach faster
