For new Pinterest accounts, aim for a 70% original pins to 30% repins ratio. Focus on posting your own content to build authority, then repin relevant content to stay active and engage with trends.

For new accounts, aim for about 80% repins and 20% original content. This balance helps build credibility and visibility without overwhelming your profile with just your own pins. Once your account gains traction, you can shift towards more original pins.

Focus more on repinning existing content at first, while mixing in some original pins. As your account grows, you can start posting more of your own content.

Mix both - Pinterest likes active, balanced accounts.

Starting with a mix of curated and original pins helps you understand what your audience resonates with before fully committing to your own style.

last i heard, there is no ratio - it depends on making quality pins
For new pinterest accounts, I'd aim for more original pins than repins at the start. Something like 80/20 or even 90/10 in favor of your own fresh pins. Repinning your own content to different boards helps, but Pinterest pushes new stuff harder now. Focus on creating quality pins first.

New accounts should maintain a safe frequency of 1-3 pins/day (or 3-5 posts/week) to allow the Pinterest algorithm to adjust. Avoid posting more than 25-50 pins/day to prevent being flagged as spam or having your account suspended.

There's no perfect ratio, but 4 to 5 fresh pins for every repin tends to work well.
