• Click on Notifications, look for any comments on your pins, and reply. If pinners have re-pinned your pins, then go find the pin, and add a comment. Make sure you only do this 2 or 3 times, as time is limited, and pinterest aren’t so keen if you post a lot of comments. Your account could get flagged.
• Go though your list of Influencers, check out their boards, re-pinning pins, liking, and commenting.
• Popular Pins – search for popular pins in your categories, and like, re-pin and comment. Comment on pins that have a good number of re-pins, and few comments.
• Access your feedly account and pin interesting articles and blog posts in your niche.
• Schedule pins through a scheduling tool to go out at optimum times. Remember to schedule pins to your most popular boards.
• Cross-promote. Post your popular pins to your other social media platforms, remembering to add a link back to your pinterest page.
