Your fingers drummed on your phone in a rhythm, scrolling through your Pinterest feed and social media, nothing changed much except there weren't any Haikyu!! related pins that usually showed some days ago. The sizzling sound coming from the kitchen served as a peaceful background music. A slight smile will rise through your face when you came across a hilarious meme.

A sudden questioning thought appeared in your mind, if you searched a character's name in a social media platform, will it show up?

You decided to try it anyways and typed, ' Sugawara Kōshi', the results shocked you as an account popped up. Yours eyes widened and you scrolled through some of his latest posts, smiling widely when you encountered a cute pic he had taken with the rest of the third year vbc members.

"[Name]-chan, we're out of eggs and milk, could you get some?"

"I could but it's like way past eight-thirty. Most of the grocery shops would be closed", you yelled back in response.

"No, the foothill one, it remains open till ten-thirty! Please run and get the things".

Why did the name sounded familiar? You stood from your comfortable place at the couch and stretched, asking for the address. Quickly dressing in a (f/c) hoodie you took off to the shop in a light sprint.

'Zero encounters excluding Yahaba-kun, I guess it'd be way too easy'.

Your legs came to stop and your eyes widened as your brain took the surrounding around you, no wonder the name sounded familiar because it was that one shop near Karasuno! Your heart was ecstatic as well as nervous because well who wouldn't be, because there was like 40% chance of meeting someone from Karasuno.

The automatic glass doors slid open and you stepped in, quickly going to the dairy and poultry section, you decided to send a quick text to Koi-chan, if she needed anything else.

Idiotic Bestie

hey [Name]-chan!! Grab some Kōnpeito and Kasugai gummy !!

(人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧[NAME]-CHAN

Sure, whatever.

You pocketed your device and strolled towards the candy section and grabbed the ones you desired and what your roommate requested and then made your way to the counter.

"Ano, Sumimasen, I want to buy these", the blond man with piercing looked up from his magazine and rubbed the butt of his cigarette on the ashtray and began calculating the amount. You knew who he was, Ukai Keishin, Karasuno VBC coach, still unmarried and single. (You just had to include the last few details.)

"Yeah, sure. It will be... ¥540", you felt around the back pocket of your jeans but the familiar feeling of your wallet didn't meet your palm. Your eyes widened in horror but soon contorted into relief when you found it in the inner pocket of your jacket. But, you were short of ¥140, you considered either leaving some treats or either running back to your house and get the remaining yens.

"Excuse me, are you short on change?", a voice which you're sure you heard many times but couldn't out a finger on called from behind you and you turned to face the person.

A soft smile rose up on his clear skin and you just wanted to reach out and pet through the smooth and silly oceans of silver hair that just added to his beauty along with the cute mole underneath his eye. You saw his lips move and realized you've been staring long, you only caught the words, '...Sugawara Kōshi', coming from his lips because you were too interested in admiring his beauty from this close.

'Damn, Suga's even hotter and cuter up close'

You weren't sure if your cheeks were as red as the fresh crimson apples or if he could see it or not. You introduced yourself to him and tried to deny his offer to pay the money you were short on. He insisted that it was only a small amount of money and so, he paid the remaining bill.

"Thank you very much, I'll repay the amount as soon as I can"

' so I can see you again', you thought secretly.

He waved a hand and chuckled with his honey-sweet voice that made your knees weak and caused warm pink to fill you cheeks, "don't worry, it's fine. You can also not repay me".

"No, I insist !", You bowed down suddenly that had him taken aback by your sudden movement.

"Alright, if you say so", with that you started to leave only to notice he was going at the same direction with you and he chuckled again when he realized it.

"So, where do you live, Kashima-san ?"

"At the Sendai-tōbu road"

"That's actually quite close to my house !", He said in wonder and that adorable expression on his face made your heart melt and you didn't even knew yourself how you managed to act normal in front of him.

"T-that's great, y-yeah!", your voice wavered with hidden giddiness and happiness. When the road you and Sugawara were walking on split into two, you and him also parted ways.

He lifted his hand to shake his hand with you, "It was nice knowing you, Kashima-san, good night".

"Likewise, Sugawara-kun".

You hurried home so you can ramble about how it was your bestest night to Koi-cchi, giddiness and excitement filling you and you did a little skip and twirled when you were close to your house.

You opened the door and hopped happily to the kitchenette, "Ko~ii~cchi ! You won't believe what happened !~", you put the groceries on the dining table and hugged the seemingly confused by happy ebony haired girl for some seconds and then hopped back.

"Wow, you sure do look jovial, [Name]-chan", she giggled and removed a egg from the grocery bag, cracking and then whisking it.

"I met Suga-kun !", You yelled and started twirling but stopped when you saw her confused face, "Suga... who ?", You removed your phone from the back pocket of your jeans and opened you gallery, finding the perfect pic of his and then turning your phone to face her, "him, isn't he so cute ?", You grinned when you saw the smile on her face. "Yeah, damn he's hot as fuck too".

"I would had said no to your thirsting usually but I can't help but agree with you this time, Koi-cchi", you said with a serious expression with didn't really matched with the situation.

The Strategic Rise Of Female Superbranders

Late last year, thousands seized YouTube as Reese Witherspoon climbed into an oversized clothing trunk sent by Witherspoon’s BFF Beyonce and climbed out wearing Queen Bey’s new Adidas X Ivy Park Collection.

Posted on Instagram, the stunt for Beyonce’s new activewear brand was viewed by gazillions.

This is just one of the continuing stream of launches activated by female entrepreneurs over recent months.

Bottom line, it’s not enough to be (just) a music artist or actor anymore. Those gigs are just platforms upon which female stars like Rihanna, Gwyneth, Oprah, Lady Gaga, Awkwafina, Jessica Alba and others have enabled themselves to launch entire marketing and media ecosystems.

Using their celebrity as a platform, these talents have moved over, under, upside and down to touch retail, health, beauty, wellness, book clubs, skin care, fashion, baby food and at the same time, transported themselves from music to film to television and vice versa.

This is a high stakes game in which it is no longer enough simply to have a product or service — that’s simply game stakes — you have to have a YouTube (or other video) presence, pop-in store, TV show, video game, music downloads, memes, print content (book, zine, oversize, lookbook, catalog), a festival, Virtual and Augmented Reality, monogrammed private airplane — and we’ll save the rest for later.

Rihanna, for example, not only pushed out her ninth album last year, but created what The New York Times Book reviewer Hunter Harris calls, “the golden age of Rihanna.”

She became the first black woman to lead a line at L.V.M.H. (via her Savage X Fenty lingerie line), has her own fashion house, Fenty Beauty, and her book “RIHANNA” has been published by Phaidon (retails at $150).

As pop culture phenomenista, Rihanna also captured an entire issue of British fashion and culture magazine i.D. in January 2020, to allow the multi-hyphenate artist and designer to highlight notable women across fashion, art, culture, activism and more.

“For me, this very special issue of i-D represents change and culture,” Rihanna said. “It is dedicated to some of the people who are progressively reshaping the communities across fashion, music, art, and activism — creating a more inclusive and diverse future.”

Dessa, a rapper artist living in New York City, has music as her art, a hit song on the “Alexander Hamilton” Broadway soundtrack, an incredible book titled “My Own Devices,” tours with Doomtree and her group of collaborators — in addition to her blogs, Facebook and Instagram posts, various personal appearances and more. (Dessa is currently launching a new something.) And you probably still haven’t heard of her.

But now you have.

It’s Not Enough For Brand To Make Things, You Have To Spread Your Message Across Multichannels

Superbrander Gwyneth Paltrow has held the reins at her growing wellness and lifestyle superbrand goop since 2008. GP softened the viewing public in a 13-part PBS series where she rode shotgun across Spain with food critic Mark Bittman and controversial food slugger Mario Batali. Paltrow started goop as a blog for the multicurious, all the while expanding (and defending) her blog against naysayers. Paltrow has authored several books, has had multiple appearances in The New York Times and recently launched a Netflix documentary series titled, “The Goop Lab” which promises magic mushrooms, healing workshops and everything you need to know about your wonderful V.

You don’t have to be a celebrity or entertainer to make this happen. Comparatively corporate Rose Marcario, who recently stepped down from her position as Patagonia CEO, leaves behind a spectrum of lateral ventures started under her watch that include not only a legendary sustainable clothing brand, but also food group Patagonia Provisions. Tin Shed Ventures funds small, sustainable environmental actions. And a new digital platform that is “part social network, part recruiting tool” titled Action Works that connects customers with environmental activist orgs.

These efforts, in addition to Patagonia’s catalogue of books, films, and outdoor gear, expand Patagonia’s total surround.

These examples are not simply clothing, Wellness, beauty and fashion meccas. They are exhibitions of how direct to consumer and expanding networks have turned flaccid textbook marketing-by-rote on its head.

Of course, the above template is not entirely new. A hundred years ago, female aviator Amelia Earhardt broke flight records, wrote bestselling books, gave speeches, talked her way through radio appearances, and designed a luggage and clothing collection before she disappeared into the gaping vastness of the Pacific Ocean.

It’s all about loving your fans and asking them to love you back. Then expand your networks by asking fans to invite their friends. Multiplicity multiplied by multiplicity is key.

In the past, superstars like Madonna (you can pick the star of your choice) released a photo book, a shoe or clothing line, or even created a new vodka between album cycles.

Some of these efforts were random one offs, the beginner’s guide to staying relevant.

Today they are part of the punch list for social cred, legitimacy, relevance and word of mouth (“Oh say, did you see?”).

As mentioned earlier, It is no longer enough simply to be an actor, musician, artist or performer — you have to have a YouTube (or other video platform) presence, pop-in store, TV show, video game, photographs, music downloads, memes, print content (book, zine, oversize, lookbook, catalog) — in addition to the website or APP, the Out Of Home wallboards, Influencers (if you have them), conferences (if you have them), tshirts, posters, water bottles, CRM, social content and TikTok, which has over 800 million active users worldwide (Datareportal, 2020) — more than LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, or Snapchat.

And make sure you have embraced TikTok, which (at over 1.5 billion downloads) is currently the most downloaded app in Apple’s iOS app store.

And also le enfant TikTok, which receives nearly as much viewing time (52 minutes) as its elders Facebook (58.5 minutes), Snapchat (49.5 minutes), or Instagram (53 minutes).

In 2020, we stand solidly in the future of media. What 20 years ago might have been considered as PR-grabbing one-offs have become standard procedure. The Big Idea, a staple of traditional marketing is probably too strident today, too dull for consumers soaked by hundreds of similar products. Nothing kills a product faster than boredom.

The magic rites today are to create bigger numbers not only by buying audiences, but by creating circles. Embrace your circle of advocates, then ask them to help create new circles by seeking out their friend’s friend’s friend or circulating among other new, lateral communities.

Decade 2020 is a mirrorball of creativity: you need many new ideas and you need them right away all the time. Look at the signs — moving creativity in-house, adding auxiliary teams (aka Influencers), spreading storytelling across spontaneous streams in social, digital and traditional media.

Superbranders Do Not Imprison Themselves In A Single Category

Raging superbranders do not imprison themselves in a single category. They build flowers with many petals. When those flowers blossom and grow, they begin to build gardens. Their enterprise transforms itself into a greenfield resplendent with flowers, topiary and rare fruit trees. After which? They start building honey farms.

The future of media will not stay stuck in the past. Modern commerce today lunges after two simple data points: First, for startups, be aware that the public is only even blandly aware of you after they have heard about you from five different places. Second, it takes 100 hours to make a friend. Five places times 100 hours equals an omnichannel media plan that will lead to relevance, resonance and meaning.

(Follow up the sequence with: Do you like us? Will you please tell others that you like us?)

These are like curative powers for performance marketers who forsake long term rewards for short-term engagement.

Trying to keep such a content machine thriving, however, requires systematic intentional content. Ergo, a media ecosystem that drives social, digital and traditional media constantly fed with equal parts relevance, empathy and passion. These wicked smart female entrepreneurs feed the monster because the monster feeds them back.

CONTENT CREATION - pt.4

EUREKA! Breakthrough!

Quick update:

Instagram: New followers, more comments and a new like-record!

Twitter: Nothing have changed, no new reaction :-(

New social media platforms: Pinterest, Reddit, and TIKTOK (!!)

Long Update:

Instagram:

I’ve continued to post nicked images with facts, but I’ve also done shoutouts to other food-accounts and reposted their images and recipes. This have really worked out well, I’ve gotten a lot of new followers, a new like record, and I’ve also been tagged in another porridge-accounts post!

New followers: I only know 2, the rest are complete strangers!

My new like-record, 51! It’s on the first post where I gave a shoutout to another account.

And the post my account was tagged in:

To summarize: My Instagram is actually going quite well.

But I still haven’t reached my target audience. The followers I have on Instagram are from complete strangers, and none of them are from my “young and hip” target audience. And I haven’t reached them on twitter either, so I need to come up with a new plan. Wich, I thought, I would reach on Pinterest and Reddit.

Pinterest:

Pinterest is heavily based around images so by posting my own created photoshop manipulations there, I thought I could get some reactions since this is such a difference from what people usually see on this social medium.

That didn’t happen at all though. I haven’t gotten a single reaction. My problem with Twitter just followed me to Pinterest! The problem, I realized, is that neither my target audience or anyone that finds my content amusing is on Pinterest. Pinterest is usually used for fun DIY, quirky recipes or beautiful style inspiration. Not for images that look weird out of context. So, let’s go to the weird place on the internet: Reddit.

And finally, I started to reach my target audience!

Instead of focusing on posting to food subreddits, I went straight to PhotoshopTrolls. It’s a subreddit dedicated to weird edits in photoshop and it has quite a cult following. And my post got 18 likes and some comments! Or it had 18 likes and then got a couple of downvotes. Sadly enough a lot of the other subreddits I was looking to post in had quite the strict rules (example: You had to have follow the thread for at least half a year before posting.) which made it quite hard for me to post. But at least I knew I wasn’t in the complete wrong to try to reach out to the meme-ing community with my porridge. So what other platform does young, hip, and fun people hang out on? The answer? TikTok.

And oh boy. This one worked OUT! TikTok is based around different trends and hashtags. You post a 15-60 seconds long video, and it’s heavily based around weird challenges or jokes. Also, instead of just following accounts a lot of people follow specific hashtags, with the most popular one #foryoupage, having 5.8 BILLION posts.

So to get noticed on tiktok you have to use hashtags, and you’ll pop up on the feed for everyone who follows those tags. In the first video, which received 481 views I only used two. But for my second video, I used both #foryoupage and more food-related hashtags which received a whopping 865 views. I think the normal view count for new accounts is around 120, so I’m very pleased with the end results! I’m going to post more on both my Instagram and tiktok, to see if I can push it even further before submission. Cheers,

Ester.

This post may contain affiliate links which means I may earn commision if you follow my links. This doesn’t cost you any extra, I only recommend things that I love and personally use and it goes towards the upkeep of this blog!

I have a new obsession. Pinterest is taking over my life – in a good way. Well, at least good for my blog not so much for my social life! Turns out non-blogging friends find talking about Pinterest tactics a tad dull! But hey, I guess if you are reading this now, you find the subject ‘Pinterest for bloggers’ just as stimulating as me! So let me go on and explain why I cannot stop banging on about Pinterest and how it can drive huge traffic to your blog!

Since I made the decision to focus my efforts on Pinterest a few months back, my traffic has been absolutely booming! I’m shocked by the results I’ve had in just a few short months! My traffic has increased by 250% and is continually rising! Where Pinterest used to be responsible for approximately 5% of my traffic – this week, it was responsible for 63%!!! My Pinterest monthly views increased from 40 000 to 234 000! For me, still just 6 months into my blogging journey, those figures are HUGE!

So why is Pinterest so good for driving traffic you ask?!

Well, firstly it’s a hugely popular search engine attracting over 200 million users worldwide each month!

It’s a growing platform – Pinterest has grown by a staggering 40% in just 1 year!

People using Pinterest are already looking for answers. They are not having your article foisted on them via their Facebook feed, they are actively looking for your article and they are hungry for information. Information that YOU have.

Pinterest users tend to have a decent income. 40% have an annual income of >$100k. Therefore they are more likely to invest in your products or services. If you are a travel blogger like me, they are more likely to have extra cash to spend on holidays and are therefore more likely to be interested in engaging with travel blogs.

Pinterest users are ready to invest. 61% say they have discovered new brands or products via Pinterest. 1 in 2 has made a purchase after seeing a promoted pin.

*all stats from pinterest.com*

Whilst there are many ways to get traffic to your site such as SEO, Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, Pinterest will undoubtedly bring you the most traffic in the quickest time. SEO is super important too but it takes time to start ranking well on google searches and if you are impatient like me, you will want results FAST. This is where Pinterest can deliver. Even smaller newer blogs can receive HUGE traffic from Pinterest. My blog is only 6 months old but traffic is booming and I have Pinterest to thank for that!

So do I have you convinced?!

Great!

Here’s what you will learn if you read on:

1/ How to set up an awesome Pinterest profile that will have your readers intrigued to find out more

2/ How to optimise your site for business – everything from rich pins to Pinterest analytics

3/ How to create beautiful pins that will keep your readers coming back for more

4/ How to get your pins to show up first in the search feed

5/ How to join and use group boards and how to know if they are worth your time!

6/ How to use tailwind and board booster to save you heaps of time.

Now I’m presuming you already have an awesome blog that you want to promote on Pinterest. But if not, then you should definitely check out my post ‘How to start a blog: a guide for technophobes.’

Before we go any further, the most important piece of take-home advice from this article is to stop thinking of Pinterest as a social media platform. It is not. It is a search engine like google or bing. You need to create content which is easy to find. Bare this in mind and follow this step-by-step guide to using Pinterest for Bloggers and you too will see a huge increase in your blog traffic.

Step 1: Set up a Pinterest business profile.

There are many benefits to having a business profile from getting rich pins to Pinterest analytics. (More on those later.) Many people feel penalised for having business accounts on other platforms such as Facebook and Instagram with recent algorithm changes. But do not let this put you off. Pinterest does not penalise business owners and you will only reap the benefits of making this change.

Step 2: Choose a name for your Pinterest account.

Name your Pinterest account after your blog name and follow this with a brief explanation of what you blog about. For example The Globetrotter GP – a travel blog. This will make your profile more likely to come up when people search for ‘travel blog.’

Step 3: Add a description

Now add a more detailed description of your niche including plenty of keywords. Do you specialise in adventure or luxury travel? Solo travel or couples travel? What content can your readers expect to find? The more keywords you can work in naturally to this explanation, the more often you will be shown in searches.

Step 4: Select a great profile picture

Choose a profile picture carefully. If you have a logo, you may choose this. If not a close-up picture of you smiling and looking approachable is better than a photo of you in the distance. Make it personable. Also, make it relevant! If you are a photography blogger, what about a photo of you with a camera?

If you want to check out how my Pinterest page looks, you can check it out at www.pinterest.com/theglobetrottergp

Step 5: Validate your website

Now you have the absolute basics, it’s time to validate your website! Without validating your website, you can’t get rich pins and you won’t see any analytics. It’s easy to do, follow this great guide. Simples.

Step 6: Register for Rich Pins

Have you ever noticed how some pins have a more polished look with more information on them? It will say ‘article from..’ and the name of the blog, an icon from the blogger and when you click on it for a closer look you will be able to see the first few sentences as well as the description.

All these extra nuggets of information are designed to entice the reader to click on the pin and research has shown they have a much higher click-through rate than other pins. I definitely saw a surge in traffic after I switched to rich pins! You can read an article about how to create rich pins.

Step 7: Set up your first board – a ‘Best of’ Board

So now with all the basics in place, its time to start creating some boards. By far the most important board will be your ‘best of’ board. Here is where you will put all your brand new pins from your own website. Readers know they can go to this board and see only your quality pins and they know it will lead to quality articles.

Step 8: Write a brilliant description for your board

Take your time with this one. Remember this is the most concentrated collection of your pins available to other pinners. You want people to be able to search for your niche and be led straight to YOUR board full of YOUR pins.

So fill your description with lots of keywords that reflect your brand and niche accurately. There is no point in attracting budget backpackers if your brand is luxury travel for families. So instead use words like budget, cheap, backpacking, hostels, bargain, adventure etc.

Step 9: Find the best keywords

Whilst you can use any keyword search tool, I recommend for Pinterest, simply using the Pinterest search bar. Type in your main keyword eg ‘backpacker travel.’ Notice all those coloured boxes with words that pop up beneath the search bar? These are the words that people are searching for in association with ‘backpacker travel.’ The words on the left are the most popular so we know ‘backpacker travel packing’ has a larger search volume than ‘backpacker travel fashion.’

You need to weave as many of these keywords into your explanation as possible as long as you can do so in a natural way and as long as they truly reflect the content of that board. These keywords may also focus your searches for pins to fill your boards with. For example, you may want to find some posts on packing lists or backpacking for women tips for your backpacker board.

Step 10: Hide irrelevant boards

If you already have a Pinterest account which you are now using for your blog, you will want to hide your irrelevant boards. You may love that board full of cat memes and your bathroom board may have some great tips for tile designs but remember you are marketing yourself as an expert in your field. Your readers are not looking for cat memes or bathroom tiles. (Unless you are an animal or interiors blogger of course!) You can easily make some boards private under settings. Either that or set up a completely separate personal board.

Step 11: Start filling your boards with QUALITY pins

When you first start out, you probably won’t have many of your own pins so you will have to pin other people’s pins to fill your boards. That’s ok. Even well-established pinners will pin a mixture of their own pins and other peoples. But make sure whatever you pin is quality and relevant to your niche. Again, using the travel example, don’t pin luxury travel pins to a backpacker travel board.

Look for pins you would click on yourself. For me, these are upright pins with striking images and clear eye-catching titles. You need to show Pinterest that you can identify quality pins that get high repin rates which will boost you up the Pinterest ranking and get YOUR pins seen in the long run!

Top tip: Infographics are especially popular and have high repin rates so make sure you are pinning these to your boards and reap the benefits from the success of other peoples great pins!

To find these great pins, find some popular pinners in your niche and see what they are pinning! Visit their ‘best of’ boards and repin a few of those. Learn from experienced pinners by analyzing what they are doing and try to replicate a similar strategy but adapt it for your brand!

Step 12: Make FABULOUS pins

So now you have a great looking page full of boards with great descriptions and beautiful pins, it’s time to start drawing traffic to your own blog! The tool I use to make my pins is Canva. It’s super simple and completely free unless you want to pay for extra fancy features. You will find hundreds of predesigned pins which you can then alter by adding your own text and images, edit the colours, fonts etc.

Top tips for beautiful pins

Choose pins 735 px wide and between 1100 and 1500px long. Personally, I feel 735 x 1500 px is optimum.

Make sure your text is clear and eye-catching. There’s no point having beautiful fonts if you can’t actually read them! Choose colours which stand out. White often works well with colourful backgrounds.

Choose quality pictures. Preferably your own but if your photos are not up to scratch, you can download pictures for free from Unsplash or Pixabay. Choose images which are instantly recognisable eg for a pin about Paris, I have a picture of the Eiffel Tower. Try to avoid pictures with your mugshot in it!

Keep your pins recognisable by paying attention to your branding. You want people to see your pins and instantly recognise them. They will want to click through to your website because they’ll know you create great content. They’ll want to repin your pins as they know your content will provide their readers with value.

Whilst you’re there, why not make some pretty board covers that also fit with your branding and will give your Pinterest profile a polished look?!

Example pins good vs bad

Now let’s look at a few examples. Here is one of my newest pins against one of my very first pins back when I was clueless about Pinterest! Which are you most likely to repin?! I’m hoping it’s the one on the left! It has more information so you know what to expect, the texts stands out, it doesn’t have people in it and it fits with my colourful branding! Do you agree?!

Step 13: Upload your pins initially from your blog

Firstly, change the file name into something relevant such as ‘backpacker packing list.’ Upload it to your blog and type a pin description into the Alt text box. Again make sure your description is packed full of relevant keywords delivered in a natural way! Download a ‘pin it’ plugin so that you can directly pin from your blog to your best of group board. From now on, you can repin from the pin in your best of board on Pinterest.

Step 14: Check your Pinterest descriptions

Usually, these should be transferred straight from your alt text, however, occasionally this is not the case. Double check your descriptions and make sure they fit the box. There is some debate currently over the use of hashtags. Whilst I’m yet to find any solid proof they can be helpful, they are not likely to harm you so if you have space left over, consider including one or two.

Step 15: Start adding your new pins to your boards

Hopefully, by now you will have several boards that you can pin to and some pins will comfortably fit on more than one board. For example, a pin about Paris would fit in a board about France, a European board and a city break board. However, do not pin to them all at once. Spread it out over a few days to maximise exposure to those pins.

Step 16: Launch your pin with facebook repin threads.

To allow your new pins to gain momentum, you want lots of people to pin them to lots of different boards. One way to achieve this is to enter a facebook repin thread. Here you enter an URL to one of your new pins. Everyone in the thread will repin that pin and in return, you must repin all of theirs. This can be time-consuming but on the plus side, you will hopefully find lots of great content for your boards. I suggest only entering threads relevant to your niche so that you don’t end up with any irrelevant pins on your profile! If your niche is travel then I recommend these facebook groups:

Pinterest for travel bloggers

Travel bloggers guide to Pinterest

Step 17: Find quality group boards to pin to

Group boards are a great way to reach a large audience even if you do not have many followers. However, you need to choose your group boards wisely. If the repin and engagement rates are low, Pinterest will deem the board unpopular and even though there are zillions of followers, the followers will not get shown the pins in their pin feeds! Therefore pinning to these boards are a complete waste of your precious time. Don’t do it!

The best way to find decent boards to join is to look at which groups the successful pinners in your niche are pinning to. Also, you can try Pingroupie to find some of the best performing boards in your niche. Alternatively, if you have blogging friends who are experienced with Pinterest, ask them if they can send you some invites to group boards. But remember to follow group board rules as it’ll reflect badly on your friend if you do not!

Step 18: Request permission to join group boards

Each board will have different directions for joining. Look at the group descriptions to find them. You will always need to follow the board and the owner of the board. You can find the owner by clicking on the list of contributors on the right. They will be the first person on the list!

You will then often be asked to comment on a pin, fill a form or send an email or direct Pinterest message with your details to join. Send your Pinterest URL eg https://www.pinetrest.com/your-name and the email address attached to your Pinterest account. If the board is very popular, I will sometimes attach an example of my pins and acknowledge the group rules in my email. You will have to apply to lots of group boards to be let into a few. Don’t be offended, move on and find new boards to join!

Step 19: Follow some people and gain some followers

I’ve purposefully left this to near the end as it’s really not as important as you would think! Followers are great but not a necessity to get results. I only have 500 followers so far and I am having great results. It’s notoriously hard to gain followers on Pinterest and it’ll be a slow progress but don’t let it hold you back. By using great descriptions with lots of keywords and making use of group boards will get your pins seen regardless of how many followers you have! You, however, should follow other people. Occasionally they might follow you cak but more importantly, if you follow great pinners, their quality pins will appear in your feed prompting you to repin their fabulous pins essentially improving your ranking and getting YOU some excellent pin karma!

Step 20: Start to schedule

If you did all of the above manually, you might never leave the house! Scheduling will help immensely especially if you are pinning many times a day (I currently pin about 80 pins a day.) I personally sue Tailwind AND board booster as I think there are benefits to both. I will be writing a detailed post about the benefits of both soon! Watch this space people!

I use Board booster for automated looped scheduling to my group boards. My pins are set to go out from my ‘best of’ board to several of my best performing group boards each day. I can specify what time they go out and how many go to each board but the pins are selected at random. If you don’t have many pins, you will want to pin less frequently so that you don’t spam the board with the same pin over and over! Equally, if the board moves slowly you may want to pin less frequently than to a board which moves quickly. where your pins easily get lost! Board booster has a load of other cool features which we will discuss in a future post. It also has lists of the best group boards to join in each niche which is super useful! You can try Board booster for free here.

I use tailwind to schedule pins to my own personal boards. These are a mixture of my own and ones I’ve found either from my feed, my favourite bloggers feeds or from group boards.

You can download chrome extension which is essentially a handy icon next to your search bar which lets you pin from anywhere so I can pin en masse from certain boards. I can then either choose to add them all to one board or select different boards for each one.

A really handy feature of Tailwind is that the smart schedule will tell you when is the best time to pin and will schedule accordingly. For myself, thats actually around 1-3AM as a lot of my readers are in the US and are a few hours behind me in the UK! I would never have guessed that without the help of tailwind Pinterest gurus! You can try Tailwind for free here.

In a nutshell, Board booster is great for automating your own pins into group boards. Tailwind is great for scheduling lots of content en masse at the most appropriate times for your readers!

Step 21 Join Tailwind tribes

Another great benefit of using tailwind is the Tailwind Tribes. These are groups where you can upload your content. They usually have high repin rates. You are often encouraged to repin more than you share and so as a result, a lot of your content will get shared far and wide!

Step 22 Pin frequently

The more you pin, the more exposure your brand gets! I currently repin 33 pins a day from board booster, 40 pins from tailwind and I manually repin at several points throughout the day when I see something which piques my interest. So on an average day, I will repin >80 pins. Approximately 50% are my own.

This number will be lower when you first get started as you will have fewer pins and remember you don’t want to spam boards! You also will want to repin other peoples more popular pins to boost you up the rankings! But in time when your pins become those popular pins, there is no harm in pinning more of your content.

Step 23 Monitor your results

Use Pinterest analytics, tailwind analytics and google analytics to monitor which of your pins, boards and group boards are the most successful. Use this information to fine-tune your pin design, make more popular content and focus your repinning efforts on more successful boards.

On tailwind analytics, you can see the repin rate of each board (also called virality.) I prefer to pin to boards with a repin rate of >1.0. If the repin rate is between 0.5 and 1.0, I may consider still using the board but only if I can see my pins are getting repinned or clicked on by analyzing the board in greater depth!

Keep a close eye on your analytics and make changes when necessary to keep your strategy current and relevant to YOUR readers.

This kinda turned into a mammoth post! And I’ve barely touched upon Boardbooster and Tailwind so I will be coming back to those in a separate post very soon! Watch this space!

If you are looking for more tips on how to get traffic to your blog, check out one of my earlier articles ‘How I got over 3000 views in my first month of blogging!’

Do you have any top Pinterest tips? Any other strategies that I’ve not mentioned which have worked for you? Or any questions? I will do my best to answer them all!
