Free Pinterest Courses That Will Help You Pin Like a Pro

Like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and more, Pinterest provides free resources for learning how to use its features. Whether you’re new to pinning or want to level up your existing account, the Pinterest Business page should be your first stop for learning or re-learning the basics. However, when you want to focus on specific topics, like, say, learning how to use the algorithm to your advantage or tracking down the best keywords for showing up in search results, I think I’ve found some of the best online Pinterest courses that cover these topics and cost literally nothing to take.
The following four courses were made by marketing experts who have experience and proven success on the platform. Whether they’ve done that for themselves or a client, you’ll have access to the exact strategies that put numbers on the board and made them bonafide pinning experts. Keep scrolling and take your pick. (Pro-tip: You can also find resources via Tailwind, one of the most popular scheduling tools for Pinterest users.)
