One Pinterest Tip That Gets Overlooked

by Leave a Comment

There are numerous blog posts on the web that offer tips on Pinterest. I have written several blog posts about Pinterest myself, but I recently came across a tip that many people were overlooking. This tip, if implemented, will result in strong connections with your followers.

When a pin gets liked or repinned, we get notified. Then, the number shows up and we can see how many times our pins were liked and repinned. However, we are also able to see who liked our pins and who repinned our pins.

This is an important feature that can allow us to build stronger connections with our followers. The people who liked your pins are most likely following you. Since that is the case, you can check to see if you are following them. If you find someone who liked your pin but you are not following, you can make the change by clicking the follow button. Following this person will encourage that person to like and repin more of your pins.

In addition, you should go on each of these people’s profiles and thank them for liking your pin. When leaving a “thank you” comment, leave this comment on a pin with no comments and remind the person what pin they liked. Getting this thank you will encourage this person to like more of your pins.

By seeing the people who like and repin your pins, you will be able to see the people who are paying the most attention to what you pin. By finding these people, you will be able to build strong connections that results in your content spreading on Pinterest.

 

4 Ways To Get More Likes On Pinterest

by Leave a Comment

On Pinterest, likes on a pin indicates popularity. The more likes a pin has, the more popular it is. Likes also help out in letting you know how much quality attention (compared to attention) your pins are getting on your followers’ timelines. Getting more likes on Pinterest will also encourage more people to follow you and like the pin. The thinking process is that if a lot of people like the pin, the pinner and the pin are both good. This equates to a follow, like, and maybe a repin. These are some of the many advantages of getting more likes on Pinterest, and without any further adieu, here are the 4 ways to get more likes on Pinterest.

  1. Build a targeted following. A targeted following is a group of people who are interested in what you pin about before seeing your pins. People interested in social media, business, and blogging are my targeted followers. When they see my pins, they already like the topic which makes them more likely to like my pins.
  2. Pin the things that you would like. Liking your own pins is a desperate plee to get other people to see a number in the like column. However, if the pin was sent by someone else, would you click on the like button? Send out the pins that you like, and in return, some of your targeted followers will like the pin as well.
  3. Host a giveaway that requires likes. I got 3 likes and 3 repins in a matter of minutes after I hosted a giveaway for my Power Blogging Training Course. If I extended the date of the giveaway, I could have probably gotten more likes and repins. When you are hosting a giveaway, the prize plays a big role towards how many likes the pin gets.
  4. Promote your pins on your blog. Your blog is a great place to promote your pins. After reading your blog posts and seeing one of your pins, some of your visitors will like your pins.

Those are 4 ways to get more likes on your pins. What did you think of the list, and what other tips would you like to share? Please share your thoughts and insights below.
