How to Create a Weekly Marketing Workflow That’s Smarter, Not Harder (with Pinterest)

Pinterst Pin with words: How to Create a Weekly Marketing Workflow That’s Smarter, Not Harder (with Pinterest) on marketing strategy academy podcast with host Jen Vazquez of Jen Vazquez Media

If marketing feels like an endless to-do list, I hear you. But what if I told you there’s a way to simplify your marketing, save time, and get more eyes on your business? It all starts with a weekly content plan that is smarter, not harder. This step-by-step workflow will help female service providers create one piece of content and repurpose it across multiple platforms. Ready to dive in? Let’s go!

Step 1: Start with a Blog

Your blog is the foundation of your content plan. Write about a topic that speaks directly to your ideal client and solves a problem they’re struggling with.

For example, if your audience is overwhelmed by marketing, you could write a blog titled, “5 Easy Marketing Workflows to Simplify Your Week.” Share actionable tips that are valuable and easy to implement.

This blog sets the tone for your entire weekly marketing workflow by giving you a starting point to create additional content that’s focused and intentional.

Step 2: Repurpose into Social Media Captions

Once your blog is live, break it down into bite-sized pieces for social media. Aim for 3-5 captions that pull key points from the blog.

For instance:

  • Caption 1: “Feeling overwhelmed by marketing? Try this simple workflow: 1) Start with a blog. 2) Repurpose for social media. 3) Use Pinterest to drive traffic. Get the full breakdown on the blog [link in bio].”
  • Caption 2: “What if I told you one blog could create all your content for the week? It’s possible! Read the blog to learn how [link in bio].”

Want more options? Use ChatGPT to generate additional caption ideas tailored to your brand voice.

These captions allow you to reach your audience where they already are while keeping your message consistent across platforms.

Step 3: Create a Short-Form Video

Film a quick, behind-the-scenes video. It doesn’t have to be fancy! Show yourself working at your computer, sipping tea, or scrolling on your phone. Use text overlays to highlight your tips:

Text Overlay Option 1:

  1. Write a blog for your ideal client.
  2. Repurpose it for social media.
  3. Use Pinterest to amplify your reach.

Text Overlay Option 2: “How I turn one blog into a week’s worth of content: Blog ➔ Social Media ➔ Pinterest.”

Text Overlay Option 3: “Content planning made easy: Start with a blog, repurpose it, and share on Pinterest!”

Caption Example: “Here’s how I turn one blog into a week’s worth of content: Blog ➔ Social Media ➔ Pinterest. Ready to simplify your marketing? Read the full breakdown on the blog! [link in bio]”

Use ChatGPT to generate 1-3 more text overlay and caption options for variety. Short-form videos are quick to create, engaging, and highly shareable—perfect for boosting your reach.

Step 4: Design Canva Covers for Reels

Create eye-catching covers for your short-form videos. Use Canva Pro for fresh designs that stand out. Options include:

  • A photo of you with bold text overlay.
  • A professional stock photo with your tips highlighted.

These covers will double as Pinterest pins, saving you even more time.

Step 5: Publish Pinterest Pins

Pinterest is a powerhouse for driving traffic to your blog and other content. Use an SEO-optimized title and description for each pin. For example:

Pin Title: “Simplify Your Marketing with This Weekly Content Workflow”

Pin Description: “Discover an easy weekly content workflow to grow your business. Learn how to write a blog for your ideal client, repurpose it for social media, and use Pinterest to drive traffic and increase engagement. Perfect for female service providers looking to save time while scaling their marketing efforts.”

Publish one pin as the blog header image and add the others at the bottom of your blog with the title: Don’t Forget to Pin It. This encourages readers to save your blog to Pinterest for future reference and helps grow your Pinterest account by increasing engagement.

Step 6: Publish and Schedule Content

  • Blog: Publish your blog with one pin as the header image.
  • Pins: Upload the remaining pins to Pinterest and link back to the blog.
  • Reels: Schedule your short-form videos with engaging captions.

Step 7: Measure and Adjust

It takes time to build momentum. Stick to this process weekly and refine as you go. Think of it like driving to a new destination for the first time—it takes effort initially, but soon, it’ll feel second nature.

Bottom Line

This smarter, not harder weekly marketing workflow lets female service providers turn one piece of content into multiple touchpoints for their audience. With consistent effort, you’ll save time, expand your reach, and grow your business. Ready to give it a try? Let me know how it works for you in the comments below.

Happy content planning—see you next week!

Why You Shouldn’t Just Create Pins Once

Pinterest pin with text: Why You Shouldn’t Just Create Pins Once 2025 by Jen Vazquez of Jen azquez Media Pinterest Manager

Think you can post a pin once and forget about it? That mindset could be costing you valuable traffic and leads. While Pinterest is often seen as a “set-it-and-forget-it” platform, the truth is, successful accounts build their reach through consistent and strategic pinning over time. Let’s break down why pinning once isn’t enough and what you can do instead to maximize your Pinterest strategy.

1. The Pinterest Algorithm Loves Fresh Content

Pinterest’s algorithm rewards accounts that consistently upload fresh content. This doesn’t mean you need to create brand-new content daily, but you do need to keep your profile active. Here’s why:

  • Fresh Pins Boost Visibility: When you upload a new pin or a new version of an existing pin, Pinterest prioritizes it in search results and users’ feeds.
  • Consistency Builds Trust: Regularly pinning signals to Pinterest that your account is active, which helps your overall reach.

Tip: Instead of pinning once, create multiple variations of your pin designs. Use different titles, images, or layouts to keep your content fresh and engaging.

2. People Engage Differently Over Time

Audience behavior on Pinterest changes with trends, seasons, and even time of day. If you post a pin once, you’re missing the chance to reach users who might engage with your content later.

  • Seasonal Trends Matter: Content can gain momentum months after it’s posted. For example, a summer photoshoot might take off in June, even if you pinned it in February.
  • Search Behavior Evolves: Users are always searching for new things. Regularly repinning and refreshing your content increases its chances of being discovered.

Example: A pin about “Fall Wedding Trends” might perform better in November when engagement season starts than when it’s originally pinned in May. By repinning, you’re keeping it relevant.

Ready to take your Pinterest strategy to the next level? The Pinterest Trends Challenge is designed to help you discover and leverage the hottest trends on Pinterest to drive traffic and generate leads.

Don’t miss out—join today and start transforming your Pinterest game!

3. Your Audience Needs Repetition

Marketing experts agree—people need to see something multiple times before they take action. This concept, called the Rule of 7, applies to Pinterest too.

  • Multiple Pins Increase Clicks: When you share variations of your pin over time, you’re giving your audience more opportunities to click, save, or engage.
  • Different Designs Speak to Different People: Some users may be drawn to a pin with bold text, while others prefer a minimalist design. By creating a variety of pins, you’re appealing to a broader audience.

Tip: Use scheduling tools like Tailwind to space out your pins so you stay consistent without overwhelming your followers.

4. Build a System for Long-Term Success

To make the most of Pinterest without feeling overwhelmed, create a batching and scheduling workflow. This ensures your content stays active even when you’re busy.

  • Batch Your Pins: Dedicate one day a month to create multiple pin designs for your latest content.
  • Schedule Strategically: Use Pinterest’s native scheduler or third-party tools to spread your pins out over weeks or months.
  • Repurpose Older Content: Don’t let older blog posts collect dust. Refresh their pins and give them new life.

Ready to Create a Winning Pinterest Strategy?

If you’re tired of pinning once and hoping for the best, it’s time to take a more strategic approach. Creating fresh content, repinning strategically, and maintaining consistency are the keys to building a successful Pinterest presence.

7 | How to Repurpose Content for Maximum Business Success

pinterest pin with words: Master Instagram Like a Pro_ A Mom’s Guide to Using Every Feature to Connect, Engage, and Shine on the Marketing Duo Podcast with Jen Vazquez and Cinthia Pacheco

Repurposing content is a game-changing strategy for online business success. In the latest Marketing Duo Podcast, Jen Vazquez and Cinthia Pacheco dive deep into how to make your content work smarter, not harder. If you’re looking for ways to save time, amplify your reach, and keep your marketing consistent, this guide is for you.

Why Repurposing Content Matters

Repurposing content is the art of maximizing what you’ve already created. It saves time, extends your reach, and ensures consistency across platforms.

  • Reach More Audiences: Not everyone consumes content in the same way. By repurposing, you can connect with your audience through blogs, videos, podcasts, and social media.
  • Work Smarter, Not Harder: As Jen and Cinthia point out, a single piece of content can fuel multiple platforms, reducing the pressure to create from scratch constantly.

Mindset: Start Small and Stay Consistent

One key to successful repurposing is shifting your mindset. Cinthia emphasizes the value of small, actionable pieces of content. “Your audience doesn’t need the whole cake,” she says. “They just need a crumb.” Start with simple content that offers value without overwhelming your audience.

Jen echoes this by stressing the importance of consistency. Whether it’s a blog, podcast, or video, creating a core piece of content weekly can keep your marketing pipeline full.

Steps to Repurpose Your Content

Identify Your Core Content

  • This could be a blog, podcast, video, or another format you enjoy creating.
  • Example: Jen uses videos as her starting point, while Cinthia starts with her podcast.

Repurpose for Multiple Platforms

  • Blogs: Transcribe your video or podcast into a blog.
  • Social Media Posts: Pull snippets or quotes to share on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
  • Email Newsletters: Create a digest of your content to engage your email audience.

Use Tools to Save Time

  • RecurPost: Automate posting and keep your content evergreen.
  • Canva: Create visually appealing graphics and pins.
  • Descript: Generate transcripts, captions, and clips from podcasts or videos.

The Role of Search Marketing Platforms

Jen and Cinthia stress the importance of having both a search-based and social media strategy. Platforms like Pinterest, YouTube, and blogs are evergreen sources that drive long-term traffic. Social platforms like Instagram and TikTok complement this by building your brand and connecting with your audience in real time.

Pro Tip: Use Calls to Action Strategically

Place calls to action (CTAs) in the middle of your blog, not just at the end. Highlight lead magnets in a bold color to catch readers’ attention and grow your email list.

Bottom Line

Repurposing content isn’t just a marketing hack—it’s a business strategy. By starting with a core piece of content and leveraging tools and workflows, you can save time and reach your audience more effectively. Remember, consistency and mindset are key.
