Before moving further, let me tell you something (believe me I won’t take too much time b’coz I know you are eager to know the tricks) increasing followers count is not a one day wonder, and though there is no magic trick for it. When I started to use Pinterest I thought increasing followers is simple & easy. But after performing several experiments & hacks, I came to the conclusion that to increase follower count you need to have a lot of patience and creativity.

5 Tested Ways to Increase Pinterest Follower Count & Engagement

1.High Quality Image – Whenever you are posting a new image, try to use a good quality image or a HD image. Good quality image is perfect photography wonder. Earlier I use to pin ordinary images, but after using HD images I discover that image quality plays a vital role in pinterest. High quality images not only get better impression & repins, but they do get better likes and clicks. Also images pinned directly from website are more likely to get better response on Pinterest.


2.Pins from Authoritive resources & Websites – Pins with post title or from authority websites & brand get better response. Try to pin images directly from the website which results in inclusion of post title in the pins. Pins from authoritive websites like Time.com, Huffintongpost…etc, get better response. And if you have post with catchy title as explain the above point will give you better results.

3.Build relationship – Do you know the most crucial ingredients of social media? Any guess? – It is building relations with other users, pinners. Following niche based boards & pins are best way to increase followers. Don’t just follow anyone blindly, first analyze their boards, pins etc and then follow relevant pinners. Blind following won’t yield any results and it may increase your following count but won’t give you targeted followers or audience. It may happen that you will have few followers initially but all the followers will be targeted – which means getting more targeted audience. Login pinterest with Facebook and you will get more followers as your Facebook friend are more likely to follow you on pinterest. In short you will get targeted followers.
