Each pin of Pinterest has a description. It gives more context for your boards and pins. Good descriptions drive engagement and traffic. Your description will tell your reader what your pin is about.

A good description is very important. If you want to write a good description, you can follow my tips.

1. Include your business name in the first sentence of your description. This is one of the effective tips to write a Pinterest description. Your business name in the first line leads to a 54% high conversion rate for email signups.
2. You should use relevant keywords that relate to the page. But use only relevant keywords. And don’t forget no keyword stuffing.

Pinterest is a visual site, and your optimized images can help generate high complete traffic for your blog. If you are not using high-quality images means you are missing a very important thing.

Neglecting the images can affect you. Maybe you can lose your audience. So optimizing your Pinterest images are very important.

Use high-quality stock photography. You can use Pixabay, Morguefile, for finding stock images. And don’t forget to use URL for all photos because your pin will generate traffic to your blog.

You can use Canva and Adobe Photoshop free tools to add text in images. You include text helps the inner to know exactly what your pin is about.

There are many benefits to using images. Use images without a human face; it receives 23% more repins.

5. Join a Pinterest group board

A Pinterest group board is a shared Pinterest board. It is the own board of Pinterest and gives other Pinterest users to add pins. This is the perfect way of generating high-quality traffic for your blog from Pinterest.

By joining a community board, you can grow your follower base. If you use regularly pin to a group board, your audience who follows the board can see your pins, and if they are interested in your Pinterest board, then they can follow you.

How can you join a Pinterest group board? The easiest way to join group boards is to look for boards with the ‘Request to join’ button. And very few group boards have instructions to join the board description.

And another easiest way to find and join group boards is to search on PinGroupie and search for the keyword “Blogging for example,” and you will see the list. For joining the group, boards are to check for invite instructions. Some groups may have instructions in their description. Simply, you have to leave a response on one of their pins and explain to them why you want to join.

You can create your group board, and you can invite pinners or bloggers to your existing board.

3. At the top of the page under the board title, you have to click “tap the plus button.”
4. Now, you can add other pinners by searching their name or email address.

6. Increase your following and followers.

While studying, I found followers are very important on Pinterest. You should have 1000 followers on Pinterest, but you have to make your profile awesome for followers. It should look amazing.

Always when I open my Pinterest account and whenever I see someone who has a lot of Pinterest followers means more than 1000. One thing that comes to my mind is that the person must be professional in whatever they are interested in because many people follow that person.

And by research, I found if a person has more than 1000 followers on Pinterest, then their followers increase fastly.

But when you make your profile awesome, then your followers will increase.

How can you make a good profile?

You should follow my tips for making a good profile on Pinterest to gain more followers.

1. Use a good profile picture. It should look like a professional. You can check on Pinterest; the experts are using a profile picture. You have to use a clear and bright photograph of yourself.
2. Write ‘about you’ section.

The expert people using a good profile picture, and they writing good about it. To change or edit the about you section, you can go to the profile and describe your blog and you. You can do it at any time.

1. Follow other pinners.

This is the best way to increase followers on Pinterest. Follow other pinners. You should spend your time following other people. Try to look and follow those people who share the same interest as you.

Some of the people may follow you back, and some may not.

What you have to do follow some people and check after 2 days whether they follow back you or not… If they are not followed back, you can unfollow those people and continue doing this process.

If you want to increase your followers fastly, then follow around 30 to 40 people a day. Do this for 15 days, and definitely, I am sure your followers will increase.

If you search for how to increase Pinterest followers, some guides may recommend using a Pinterest automation tool to increase followers like PinPinterest or Pinfollow. Many people used these tools, and they lose their accounts because of these tools.

I have not tried these tools anytime. I don’t want to take a risk. So I tried my way only. Every day I spent 45 minutes on increasing my followers.

7. Use rich pins for your blog.

This is the best way of generating high-quality traffic for your blog from Pinterest.
