How to Increase Pinterest Following?

Need a roadmap to improve your Pinterest following? Boost your business or build your brand? Well whatever it is, I am giving you easy to follow 6 effective and proactive steps to increase your Pinterest following.

1. Put keywords in your Pins

Working on SEO is important for pinning. The more you are focused on your target with your keywords while adding them into your boards and descriptions, the more users you shall receive for your topics. So work hard on it.

2. Posts on popular boards

For boards that have large following as compared to others, you need to post more often on them. As people are following this board already! Adding fresh and interesting posts to it will be a welcome mat in front of your door. So never leave your popular one behind just because they already have better followings, instead you should pay more attention to these.

3. Try trending topics bandwagon

The Three Musketeers (Places, Events and People) are great way for finding new followers on any social networking platform. These topics are always trending and have high keyword search. Therefore if you have a pin which meets the requirements, you got yourself a good opportunity to get traffic.  According to a survey, it has been found out that pins related to these topics can increase 80% click rate. So it’s worth the effort!

4. Go for Reciprocate

Reciprocate is considered one of the most affective practices to get new followers! Apart from that, reciprocate also helps someone who already liked your images to repin them. In simple words, you should consider this as getting your followers back to you. But before you make a move, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:

• Are there are big fish nearby? If yes then you should follow them as your followers will do the same!
• Is there pinning interested or not, are these of any help to you? If they prove to be then they are worth of following.
• Is there someone you would like to follow (personally not professionally)?  Following someone increases the chances of them following you back which provide you a chance to comment, Repin or like!

5. Follow high profile and relevant users

While following someone for their relevance of pins to your business needs, you may also choose someone despite their brand relevance!  By following some powerful players, you may increase the chances of them (along with some other users) to follow you in return which will provide you a chance of exposure in front of their large following.

6. Add Pinterest in your Email Signature

If you pay attention, it’s an opportunity to represent yourself with every email you ever send. In order to promote your Pinterest, all you need to do is add a dedicated URL of your Pinterest at the end of your Email Signature so that people can follow with the click of a single link.
