Creatives – why you need to join niche group boards
Actually, my title is wrong, it should read: Bloggers and Creatives, it is imperative to know why you need to join niche group boards.
The answer WHY you need to join group boards and more specific niche group boards, is simple:
- Firstly, since the latest Pinterest changes, mid 2018, generic group boards, should be avoided BUT
- If such group boards are packed with KEYWORDS and quality pins, and it has a fairly high engagement, why leave?
If you are not familiar what GROUP BOARDS are and what it can do for your pins, here is a short summary –
- Group Boards are a collection of ideas and inspiration of specific topics you already love. I knit and I post about knitting so it makes perfect sense for me to source and join knitting related group boards;
- It is jam-packed with ideas and inspiration for new post ideas on your own blog (in your own unique voice) or what you should better not do…. it is in short = CREATIVE JUICE!
FIRST:
Let me get you excited about group boards
- I have 24k Pinterest followers but Claire (more about her below) has 1 million – whatever I share to her group board/s, have the potential to be seen by some of her followers (which is a significant amount of people) + some of mine!!!
- BUT
- Add all the other collaborators to that specific group board/s plus their followers and we have a RECIPE FOR SUCCESS!!!
- Hold on to this thought for a moment…
- Remember when you opened your Pinterest account, you chose Interests – e.g. Inspirational Quotes, DIY and Crafts, and maybe Garden (ing)?
- You chose those Interests because you blog about it or because it might be one of your hobbies;
- What is Pinterest doing with your choices? It recommends pins and boards related to your Interests every time you refresh your smart feed (your Pinterest landing page).

Thank you Susan, for joining the Tribe and for your kind words. I have found, for some of my Pinterest clients with a small following, that pinning curated pins to group boards, attributes to your account’s noticeability too…maybe try that (not too much though, one/two a day). Off course, your own pins should be pinned to both your own and group boards.
Hi Amanda,
I love Pinterest and am still trying to improve my strategy. I love Tailwind Tribes and I just joined yours.
To tell you the truth, I haven’t really joined a lot of Pinterest Groups. I belong to maybe 3 of them. I’ve been focusing on Pinterest for the past 2 months.
I’ve been learning as much as I can about it and I’ve started noticing that my traffic is starting to increase. These are great tips and if people follow them, I know that they’ll start to see results.
Thanks for sharing these tips have a great day 🙂
Susan
