"Get Pinterest traffic for your blog the easy way!"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

Tribes is by far the best part of Tailwind, but the pin scheduling tool is a close second. Having trusted and engaged people that make up the community on Tailwind means that my pins get the type of engagement and sharing that I need to increase my website traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

Tailwind can be kind of complicated to set up in the beginning, and this is due to the plethora of options. And how you want to use the tool. Once you find your rhythm, keeping up with scheduling takes 30 minutes once a week for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tailwind:

When manual pinning starts to take up more of your time than you have to give, I suggest using Tailwind. This app will not only save you time, it will also loop your most popular or seasonal pins.

It also gives you detailed analytics to help you create more of what works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tailwind solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am getting my blog posts shared with many more people than just my usual website visitors. This helps me understand what kind of content I should be creating more of.

As well, it is a huge time saver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Tailwind is a great scheduler and so easy to use"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

I love Tailwind as it's easy to use. It makes scheduling stress-free and I can change once pins are scheduled. The added Smart-Loop schedule is great too and though I'm still on the trial version I will probably purchase this too. The Chrome Extension is brilliant and I use it all the time. While I use Tailwind mainly for Pinterest, I also use it for Instagram so switching between the two works well for me.

The insights section is excellent as I can see how my pins and boards are doing on an almost daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

There is no mobile app for android phones yet which is very disappointing. I check Pinterest several times during the day so it shows me more pins, however I can't add these to tailwind. Would like to see this app in use in the very near future. I find when I automatically post to my Facebook page (not personal) page, it doesn't come up with the right photo - maybe it's just me as I haven't checked with Tailwind about this problem.

While the insight section shows me followers it would also be great to include monthly unique views and monthly engaged so I can see everything in one screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tailwind:

While it is the only scheduler product I have used, I highly recommend it as it's easy to use. It has the ability to schedule ahead, change your schedule and provide statistical data about your social media performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tailwind solving and how is that benefiting you?

The greatest benefit is being able to schedule ahead - one time I have a full week schedule which was wonderful. The insights section is great for statistical information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Tailwind Makes Me Sail Through My Posting"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

I love how easy it is to post in social media, and to re-queue a post from my library. Saves me so much time. Also great that I can see comments without going to the post. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

It is difficult to scroll down on the drafts so that I can select pinterest and Facebook. Sometimes I can see a scroll bar but not often. Also, just loaded a site update for Photographypla.net and the Tailwind logo for easy posting is missing. What's up with that? I can still right click and post.

"Using Tailwind as a Food Blogger"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

The scheduling function is my favorite feature in Tailwind. I can see at a glance what is on tap, reorder the schedule, choose new time slots, and fill up my calendar in short order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

When using tribes, my work would go much faster if the ADD to queue button was at the top of the pin to avoid scrolling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best for pinterest management"

4/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

Tailwind is great for improving pinterest performance. I can post to pinterest from anywhere using the chrome extension. Scheduling content is a breeze. The tribes feature is a great addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

It doesn't allow posting to all social media platforms. There is a bit of a learning curve because of the number of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The one tool I actually use every single day"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

Of all the blogging tools that I've bought or subscribe to, Tailwind is the only one I use every single day. It lets me schedule a month's worth of pins in under an hour and helps me connect with other Pinners in my niche. Customer support is outstanding, and they're always adding new ways to make my life easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

Not a thing. I can think of little features that I'd like them to add, but I am hard pressed to find something that I don't like. Maybe the price of the add-ons. They are a bit high. Especially the new auto-loop. Other than that, there isn't much to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Run your Pinterest Marketing on Your Time"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

I like the ability to bulk schedule across several boards and see robust analytics. Automatically posting a pin to Twitter is great also. I am just starting to use the Pin Inspector, which lets you go back and look at data on a per-pin basis to see what is working and reschedule pins that have done well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

I wish there was a way to create settings for a particular board. For example, many group boards have rules about how often you can post, and it can be a little painful to keep track of those while trying to schedule content out a month in advance! I also wish more of the reporting features were available on the lower-tier plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tailwind:

For me, manual pinning just isn't an option. At this point, Tailwind is the only viable option out there...so it's a good thing they do such a good job! If you are struggling with the price, think about how much you would have to pay someone to do this work manually...or the money-making work you could do if you didn't have to do this work yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tailwind solving and how is that benefiting you?

I simply would not be able to achieve the growth in traffic and email subscribers without being consistently active on Pinterest, and I would not be able to be active on Pinterest without this scheduling tool since I have a full-time job in addition to my own business. It's like being able to be two places at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
