How to Get More Followers on Pinterest

How to Get More Followers on Pinterest With a Simple Hack

Last Updated:5 years ago By Debra Garber Time to Read: 1 minute

Do you often wonder how to get more followers on Pinterest? Pinterest is the visual imagery and creativity the site sparks inside of me that I love. I browse through quaint shops discovering new and wonderful things and then, the shopkeeper keeps refreshing the merchandise drawing me back to the store.

You want to search and search to make sure you haven’t missed anything. Best part, I never have to go to the mall.

What’s So Special About Pinterest – The Stats

The statistics show that I am not alone in my admiration for the site. Digital Insights’ post on Social Media 2014 Statistics shows just how fast social media is expanding in 2014. The infographic covers all the latest social media facts, figures, numbers and statistics for 2014. With 40 million monthly active users and 70+ million total users, here are some surprising facts about Pinterest:

  • 80% of users are female
  • 158 is the average number of pins from female users
  • 84% of Women and 50% of Men on Pinterest are active users
  • 92% of pins are done by Women
  • 23% of users use it at least once a day

How to Get More Followers on Pinterest

It is obvious from the stats above, being on Pinterest, engaging with your customers and social media followers can benefit your business in many ways.

Pinterest drives four times more revenue (per click) than Twitter and 27% more than Facebook.

We know why Pinterest is so special; however the question your business needs to focus on is, “How can I leverage this “specialness” and get more followers?”.

Do you find yourself wondering how to get more followers on Pinterest?

Did you know you can make one simple tweak to your Pinterest link that will get you more followers?

With this minor adjustment, anyone who clicks your Pinterest link will automatically start following all of your boards (as long as they are logged into Pinterest).

Taken from Blake Jamieson’s post on One SIMPLE Pinterest Trick to Get You More Followers (and 3 ways to use it!), here is what you need to do:

Step 1: Insert “/follow/” in between “Pinterest.com” and “{your username}”

For example, the Pinterest link we used to give out was: pinterest.com/dlvrit

With this simple modification, the link becomes: pinterest.com/follow/dlvrit

When someone clicks that link, this is where they are taken:

Now it’s you turn. Implement this simple Pinterest trick and watch your social media follower numbers grow.
