A Complete Substack-to-Pinterest Workflow

Discovery Beyond the Inbox

Link pins to public posts so Pinterest users have another way to discover your writing outside the inbox.

Reuse Your Archive

Create pin options for relevant older posts as well as new issues, with each pin linked to its source article.

Keep the Post as the Destination

Review the destination URL before publishing so interested Pinterest users land on the specific post represented by the pin.

Text Posts Become Visuals

Use public post text and available images to generate vertical concepts, or provide your own visual assets.

Multiple Pins Per Post

Generate several designs and copy variations, then choose the angles that accurately represent the post. Use the bulk workflow for larger batches.

Pinterest Strategies for Substack Writers

1. Add pins to your publishing workflow

Generate options while the article's core promise and audience are clear, then review the pin copy before publishing.

2. Resurface your archive

Work through useful older issues and create pins that accurately reflect each post's topic and destination.

3. Write Pinterest titles, not clever headlines

A newsletter headline may need context on Pinterest. Use direct wording that identifies the topic without promising an outcome the post cannot support.

4. Pin to niche-specific boards

Organize pins on boards that match the themes you cover, rather than placing every article under a generic newsletter board.

5. Match the pin to the landing page

Set accurate expectations about whether a post is public or paywalled, and link directly to the article shown in the pin.

Substack Topics You Can Adapt for Pinterest

The best approach depends on your audience and content. These examples show how different newsletter topics can become clear visual pin concepts:

Newsletter Niche	Content Angle	Example Pin Approach
Personal Finance	Practical guides	Budget frameworks, explainers, and specific reader questions
Food & Recipes	Visual tutorials	Finished dishes, recipe details, and themed collections
Wellness & Mental Health	Educational ideas	Evidence-based explainers, routines, and reflective prompts
Parenting & Family	Useful resources	Practical tips, age-specific guides, and activity ideas
Productivity & Career	Actionable systems	Frameworks, templates, checklists, and career explainers
Tech & AI	Accessible explainers	Tool comparisons, workflows, and beginner guides
Crypto & Trading	Educational context	Definitions, risk-aware explainers, and market concepts

Build a Reusable Pin Library

Generate several concepts from each suitable post, keep the versions that represent it clearly, and schedule approved pins around your editorial calendar. Review performance in Pinterest and use what you learn when creating the next batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with custom domains and substack.com URLs?

Yes. Paste a public post link on your custom domain or a yourname.substack.com URL. Made to Spark uses the available post text and images to create several pin options and matching copy.

Can I make a pin for a paywalled post?

Yes. We only read the public preview — the title, subtitle, and cover image that Substack shows to everyone. Your paid content stays private. Pin the post and let curious readers click through to subscribe.

Can Pinterest pins help people find my Substack posts?

Pins can link to public Substack posts and give Pinterest users another way to discover your writing. Results depend on the topic, creative, keywords, audience, and publishing choices.

What if my post has no images?

You can provide your own images or generate designs using the public post content. Review every design and its title, description, and alt text before publishing.

What Pinterest pin size does the tool create?

Made to Spark creates vertical pins in Pinterest's recommended 2:3 aspect ratio. Landscape Substack cover images may be cropped or placed within a vertical design.

What can I do without an account?

The free no-account tool lets you create and download one pin. Register to use the full workflow: generate several pin designs and matching copy, review the results, and publish or schedule directly to Pinterest.
