Pinterest is not just about
pinning a bunch of pretty
pictures. There’s an actual
science to it!
Here are 10 ways to get more
repins and attract boat loads
of followers:
STEP ONE:
Pin from various sources vs.
one specific site or pinner.
You’ll get more visibility this
way.
STEP TWO:
Repin images with the most number of
repins. Don’t just pin mindlessly.
Repin images with the intent that your
target audience is going to find them
helpful.
STEP THREE:
When repinning from other
sources take time to edit the
pin description so that it
reflects the authenticity and
voice of your brand and
business.
STEP FIVE:
Combine a call-to-action in the
pin description & see an 80%
increase in engagement.
STEP SIX:
Avoid excessive use of
hashtags. Too many of
them actually hurt you
more than help you with the
Pinterest’s search engine.

STEP SEVEN:
75% of Pinterest users
use their mobile device
on Pinterest. Make sure
your pin descriptions are
mobile friendly.
STEP EIGHT:
Do not use bitly.
Pinterest thinks you
might be spamming. As a
result, when you click on
the image a pop up box
that says “Blocked Link”
pops up.
STEP NINE:
Keep up with the trends. Pins related to
trending topics (like Valentine’s Day,
Spring, Easter, Mother`s Day etc.) see
an average increase of 94% on click
throughs.
STEP TEN:
Pin tutorials, guides,
DIY & recipe pins
because they receive
42% higher click
through rate.
