Hello Reader,

This week, we're talking about another stupid simple hack that could truly make a difference in your Pinterest strategy.

Let's get pinning!

🔍 Spotlight on Pinterest Group Boards

They're like secret gardens of collaboration where multiple people can contribute content.

But here's the thing: they're not just enjoyable, they're significant.

Why? Group boards can:

• Reach more people by having multiple contributors.
• Connect with a community of users who have similar interests.
• Find high-quality pins that are relevant to your specific topic.
• Increase the number of people visiting your content by making it more visible.
• Connect with other creators and marketers.

Sounds great, right?

🕵🏻‍♂️ Here's the scoop on how to track down and hop on those top group boards:

1. Go to pinterest.com/search/users/?q=keyword (replace "keyword" with any niche keyword you're interested in.)
2. Pick some top Pinterest creators.
3. Navigate to their 'Saves' tab.
4. Look for boards with tons of pins – these are likely group boards.
5. Visit each board and look for the button that says "Join" or any instructions on how to join.
6. Click that button and voilà! You're in (once approved).
7. Start pinning your relevant pins to the board.

But never try to add too many pins at once. Aim for 1-2 pins a day and, most importantly, follow the instructions of the board owners.

💡 Here are some tips to increase your chances of getting approved as a contributor:

• Make sure your Pinterest account is active and has good content.
• Create boards for your blog/website content. This will help board owners easily decide if your pins are appropriate for their group board.
• Follow the board owner's instructions. If they ask you to fill out a form or send a message, make sure to include your Pinterest profile link, email, and a friendly message stating you will follow the group rules.
• Apply once you have a decent number of followers and enough content. Board owners usually want to see at least 1,000 Pinterest followers. If you don't have many people following you, read this guide.
• Write a personalized message to the board owner. Address them by name, show interest in their board, mention the specific board you want to join and provide your profile link.
• Keep your message short and concise. Board owners receive many requests and don't have time to read long messages/emails.
• Make it easy for the board owner to add you. Include a direct link to the group board you're requesting to join.
• Be patient. Board owners may only review requests once a month. If it's been more than 2 months without a response, you can politely follow up.

🎬 Action Time!

Now that you know this, it's time to use it!

Challenge yourself to join at least one new group board this week.

Your future Pinterest-self will thank you!

Happy Pinning!

Cheers,

Minosh.
