 HOW TO IDENTIFY A SUCCESSFUL PINTEREST GROUP BOARD?

Now, this is important.

You definitely don’t want to join a board which is not even active and not even carries a good amount of pins and followers. Before you consider group boards, it is important to find boards that relate to your particular niche and specific audience. If you are a food blogger, your audience must be specifically interested in tempting recipes etc. I often take part in blog + biz group boards to pin about blogging tips. Because I also write about freelancing and self-improvement so I also pin to boards, belonging to these niches.

Note down following points in a successful Pinterest group board.

• A number of pins on the board.
• How many people have followed the board? The actual number of followers.
• The higher the number of repins. You have to consider such boards, where people repin each other’s content.

HOW CAN YOU FIND PINTEREST GROUP BOARDS, RELATED TO YOUR NICHE?

Many people get trouble in this. I often read queries in multiple facebook groups, where people ask the exact guidance to find related Pinterest group boards.

I give you the exact path to find Pinterest group boards, according to your niche and target audience.

USING PINTEREST GROUP BOARDS

Awesome! You’ve gone through the tricky stages and now you are ready to PIN.

Before you start pinning, look at this post to find out the best times to pin on Pinterest.

Once you join pinterest boards, what is the procedure?

How can you utilise group boards to get more traffic and reach?

Well, it is pretty simple.

1. Be more consistent in pinning. Let’s suppose, you share 5 pins every day so make a schedule to always pin at least 5 every day. Well, if you’re a complete new then aim for at least 10 – 15 pins every day. Some of your pins, and some others.
2. Pin every day – Every group board illustrates rules to follow. It’s better if you read those small rules. Some allow 3 pins each day whereas few put no restrictions in pinning.  For this, you have to shoot quality pins per day to be on the board.

    3.  Follow 1:4 ratio – Don’t just pin your content! If you share one pin of your own content, leading to your blog then you should have to pin 4 pins of other’s content too. You may be kicked out of the group if you keep sharing your content only. You must have to follow this.

   4.   Use Tailwind: Simply use tailwind to schedule pins to group boards and your own boards. It can save your time, and of course, increase your traffic.
