Pinterest is quickly becoming one of the most powerful social networks on the scene. Increasing your activity and knowing the tricks to get more Pinterest followers is important.
If your product is targeted towards women then it is crucial to have an online presence on Pinterest. Pinterest is the now the 3rd most popular social network and the 16th most popular website in the US. Not only does Pinterest rate very high in Google search, it's also very popular, drives a ton of traffic and is very positive in nature.

Whether you are a Pinterest power user or just getting started these tips will help you grow your following and build a stronger presence.
10 Ways To Increase Your Pinterest Following
1. Follow Others
This is the first thing you should do but you want to make sure the people you are following are related to you. Don't go about following everyone. You will be better off with a targeted following when it comes to click-throughs and repins.
2. Comment On Pins
Pinterest is a community and the bottom line for community members to bond is to have conversations. Comment on other's pins and add to the conversation. Where there is conversation, there is community.
3. Repin Others
This is a good way to get noticed by other Pinterest users. By repining their content you are telling them, "hey, I like your stuff, let's be friends." It also gets your repined content in the overall category pool and if people like it, they are likely to follow you.
4. Connect Your Pinterest Account To Facebook
By connecting your Pinterest account to your Facebook account you achieve a few things. The first thing is you get notified when your friends join Pinterest and they'll be notified that you are a Pinterest user. This is a good way to grow. It also grows your presence by sharing your pins on your Facebook page which can open you up to a brand new audience and let your followers and fans know you are active on Pinterest.
5. Add Pinterest Follow Button To Your Site
This is a no-brainer. When people come to your site you want to make sure they know you are on Pinterest. I often go to a site and open all of their social pages and follow them. As a consumer or a fan, it makes me feel more comfortable that this company is social.
6. Add Pinterest Widget To Your Site
You can also showcase your Pinterest pins on your site. This is a great way to show people a bit of your Pinterest style.
7. Share Your Pins On Twitter
Does your Twitter following know you have a Pinterest? It's likely that they don't if you don't share your Pins there. If you are a super pinner, I'd be careful about how much you Tweet from your Pinterest page, but once in a while to let people know is a good idea.
8. Join Group Boards
Group boards are a great way to meet new people. You can collaborate on a common board and get to know new people who are interested in the same things you are. This is also a good way to increase your repins.
9. Run A Contest
I love contests. A Pin It To Win It contest is a great way to make sure people follow you. After all, they have to follow you in order to be considered. It's also a great way to get a lot of your product in the Pinterest world.
10. Be A Curator
By being very targeted you are more likely to have a targeted following. To be a good curator you need to pin a lot. When you pin a lot your pins come to the front page of the category pages and your own feed. Keeping your name out there is important for your social media following. Consistency is key.

Real Facebook accounts
ReplyDeleteThere are unlimited accounts on Facebook and nobody knows how many of them scams are. This is the reason it is important to buy only real Facebook fans, otherwise you will lose your likes after some time when the Facebook admin cleans up the fake or stolen accounts.
It is very much easier to gain popularity and Facebook likes at cheap prices. These Facebook fans are provided by agencies that actually synergize your page's popularity. It is a very good way to promote and market anything that one needs to do so. Buying real Facebook fans is in no ways a crime or an illegal act. It is a marketing strategy that nobody prohibits until and unless you are dealing with an agency that claims to have real fans
You are a Real Blogger. Thanks for your nice sharing. I will share with my friends about this. Have a Nice day:)
ReplyDeleteIt helps to participate in the site by pinning other pictures and sharing them.
ReplyDeleteI have tried many of these before. I am always gaining followers, but it's seriously like only 3 per day.
ReplyDeleteI keep getting messaged or twitter from someone sending me a link to this website who claims they can provide hundreds of new pinterest followers within a couple of days. Any idea if this type of thing is legit? I've never head of doing that before... Any guidance here? I'm liking what I see so far, but don't want to spend money until I know. thx.
That website works great. Thank you for sharing. I bought 2000 pinterest followers! Very cool!
