4. How Do I Repurpose Content for Pinterest?
I’ve made some videos on TikTok about why you shouldn’t directly publish your social media content on Pinterest.
The biggest reasons for this are:

This doesn’t mean you have to create brand-new content only for Pinterest. You just have to repurpose your content the RIGHT way when transferring from social media to Pinterest.
