How a candle seller built a fresh-pin schedule she could actually keep

A soy candle seller kept hearing 'post fresh pins daily' and kept burning out by week two. Her account stalled at 9k monthly views.

Instead of daily, she built a repeatable weekly checklist:

— Monday: design 5 new pins for 1 existing product (new image, new title, new angle)
— Wednesday: schedule them spread across 7 days, one per morning
— Friday: check which last week's pin got the most saves, make 2 variations of it

That's it. Fifteen new pins a week, two hours total, every pin pointing to a page she already had.

Over 10 weeks her monthly views climbed from 9k to 47k, and the 'most-saved variation' loop meant her winners compounded instead of vanishing.

Takeaway: Cadence you can sustain beats cadence you admire. Five pins for one product beats one pin for five products.
