Followers

1. Post Original Content (Pins)
Did you know that 80% of the posts on Pinterest are repins?
This means posting original content is a great way to stand out. For
example, you can post:
Original images
Infographics
Content you find online
Quotes
Funny photos
In my experience, infographics stand out the most.
An infographic I posted on my Pinterest page was repinned more

than 1,200 times. My other posts have had between 200 and 700
repins.

2. Repin Content from Others
It’s tough to find enough posts if you only pin your own content.
Repinning material from others should be a big part of your Pinterest
marketing strategy as well.

This is also a great way to get noticed by the original source of the
content & get them to follow your page.
And don’t forget to edit the descriptions on your posts -- add your
own keywords & unique takes on the material.

3. Follow People
It's simple: you'll get more followers on Pinterest if you follow other
people.
>> Click to Tweet <<
Following 5 to 10 people a day can make a huge difference
compared to waiting for people to follow you.

domains of your competitors.

4. Use Keywords in Descriptions
How you pin images is just as important as what you pin. So use
relevant search terms in your descriptions.
I use the Pinterest search bar to look for images, so I can get an idea
for keywords to use in my Pinterest descriptions.
Remember: your keywords should be terms people search for on
Pinterest.
5. Run a Pinterest Contest
Contests should be a key component of your Pinterest marketing
strategy.

Study these Pinterest guidelines & suggestions before you begin:
Do:
Remember that Pinterest is all about people discovering
things that can inspire them.
Reward quality over quantity.
Make it easy to get involved with clear & simple
instructions.
Read our anti-spam measures to keep your contest fun
and useful.
Check out our branding guidelines if you’re going to
indicate your reference in Pinterest in any way.

Don't
Suggest that Pinterest sponsors or endorses you, or the
contest.
Require people to add Pins from a selection—let them
add what they like.
Make people Pin your contest rules. You will become
notorious by doing it.
Run a sweepstakes where each Pin, board, like or follow
represents an entry.
Encourage spammy behavior such as asking participants
to comment.
Ask people to vote with Pins, boards, or likes.
Overdo it: contests can get old fast.
Require a minimum number of Pins. One is plenty enough.

Call your contest a “Pin it to win it” contest.
Get inspired by searching Pinterest for contests relevant to your
business!
6. Be There!
Social media will only work for your business if you dedicate time &
money to your social marketing campaigns.
Pinterest influencer Bridgette Salvon-Berndt (who has 1.4 million
Pinterest followers) made it clear: she was only able to achieve that
influence by spending tons of time on the website.
7. Link Pinterest to Your Other Social
Websites

Linking from Pinterest to websites like
Facebook, Twitter & Google+ will help you get
more exposure on Pinterest to friends, family &
your followers in other places.
You can also use other social media websites to promote your
Pinterest boards.

8. Make Your Website Pinterest-Friendly
One more way to get Pinterest followers is by adding Pinterest follow
& share buttons to your website.

That way when people like your content, they can easily follow you &
repin your stuff.
We used the Flare WordPress plugin to add Pinterest to the Post
Planner blog. It's a cinch!
