I’ve personally found that Group boards are helping me grow my traffic. If you’re new and want to get your pins in front of a bigger audience, then join some boards and see if it helps you grow your blog.

What Are Pinterest Group Boards?

Let me share my quick explanation, if you want an official explanation, read this post on group boards.

Group boards are collaborative boards that allow pinners to share their content. These boards usually have more followers than you do. (you should only join boards that have more followers than you)

At the time of this writing, I only have 500 followers. So whenever I pin content to my personal boards, I am only pinning my content in front of 500 people. Yes I know that my pins can be found via SEO.

When I pin content to the group boards that I belong to, then I my pin has the potential to be exposed to the followers of the group board.

Basically, the board owner is allowing you to pin your content to their followers.

Using Pinterest Boards to Help You Grow Your Blog

When I first started using Pinterest, it took me forever to find and join some boards. I guess I put it off because it can be hard to find these group boards.

Most of the time when you reach out to contact the owner, chances are you’re going to get ignored. I’ve been ignored so much, it can make me feel like maybe I’m doing something wrong.

Whatever you do, don’t stop reaching out. In a minute I’ll share my strategy on what I do to keep track of the Board groups I’ve reached out to and which ones I still need to reach out to. This way you can use my strategy to join these boards and other ones you’ve thought about.

Don’t Make the Mistake I Made

I’ve made so many mistakes, especially in my first year as a blogger. It took me forever to get serious about growing my blog.

Start learning how to use Pinterest correctly. It will take some time, but it’s soooo worth it!

My Pinterest Group Board Outreach Method

Before I start sharing some awesome group Pinterest group boards that you can apply to. I want to quickly share my organization method with you.

I want to make sure that you take the time to organize your Pinterest outreach. This way, you’ll know which Pinterest group boards you’ve reached out to and which ones still need your attention.

I don’t use any fancy software, in fact, I just use Google Drive to help me stay organized. All I did was create a spreadsheet with the group boards I want to reach out and join.

By using a color coded system, I have made it easier for myself to keep track of which boards I still need to reapply to and which ones I have heard back from.

Yellow: I’ve applied and sent an email to the group board

Blue: I’ve reapplied because I didn’t hear back from the board owner

Green: The owner gave me access and I am now a contributor

Before You Start Reaching Out

Make sure that you take the time to create a spreadsheet or some type of organizational system. This will help you keep track of which board groups you’ve reached out to.

Don’t try to start reaching out to new group boards without having some type of organization system in place. You’ll just end up getting confused and lost on which group boards you’ve applied to.

Chances are you won’t hear back from some of the group boards right away. The spreadsheet will help you keep track of when you applied so you can reference that to apply again.

I am NOT a member of all these groups. I’ve just taken the time to help you find some board groups that you can join without having to spend hours online trying to find this information.

Should I Use An Email Template

If you’ve never reached out to a blogger for anything, it can be scary. You might think that you need to create some type of email template to ask them to join their group board.

The truth is that I’ve found just by being personable and using their first name is the best way to get accepted. It shouldn’t be hard to find their name on their Pinterest account or other social media channels.

I always make it a point to state that I’ve read the rules of the board. I’m not sure if this has made a huge difference on my approval. I just want to make sure that the owner knows that I will follow their rules.

How to Use The Board Groups

Once you’ve been approved for the group boards, it’s time to start using your Pinterest strategy and start pinning your content.

It may take you a while to figure out how to make the most of Pinterest. However, do everything that you can to try to at least get a small piece of the Pinterest traffic.

Share Other People’s Pins

Don’t just pin your pins and run. I am a true believer in constantly paying it forward. I always make it a point to share other people’s content. In fact, I always share other people’s pins from the board groups using Tailwind.

As you know I am a huge fan of scheduling my pins in advance. Once a week, I’ll go through the group boards and fill schedule pins to my Tailwind queue.

That way whenever I share my own pins, I know that it’s okay because I’ve already taken the time to share other people’s pins.

Sometimes, I’ll also pin a pin manually if I am sitting on the couch watching television.

It doesn’t matter how you do it. The important thing is to make sure that you’re sharing other people’s content not just expecting other’s to share yours.

Final Take Away

Just like using Tailwind Tribes or anything else about growing a blog. It’s going to take time. Give the group board a chance.

If you’ve been posting for a while and you’re not getting any repins or shares from the group. Don’t be afraid to leave the group board.

I can’t tell you how long you should wait until you decide if you should ditch and move on. Really, it’s up to you to Pinterest Analytics and see if your traffic has been improving since joining the group board.
