Some of the most popular niches on Pinterest are related to food, travel, health, and beauty.

• Travel: People use Pinterest to find ideas, inspiration, and hobbies, including planning their next travel adventure. The travel industry will benefit most from posting in the evening or weekend.
• Health: The health industry includes everything from wellness to mental health. People look for health-related ideas, such as workout routines or meditation best practices in the morning or evening hours.
