how to find Pinterest group boards and then how to join those group boards on
Pinterest what's going on everyone this is greg kononenko and in this video i
will be showing you how i get a ton of traffic from Pinterest for free to my
websites and my blogs and I do it using Pinterest group boards and this video is
dedicated to how you yourself can stop generating traffic from Pinterest using
Pinterest group boards now this is one of the videos in a whole series of
videos about Pinterest traffic and you can download the whole series exits the
whole series if you click on the link in the description below this video or if
you just type into your browser campaign ID and blog and comm / Pinterest also if
you like getting free traffic and hit the like button on this video that will
help me out a lot alright so before we get into the detail of how to find group
boards and how to join group boards I wanted to spend a minute and talk about
why group boards are so awesome for getting traffic so we're here inside my
dad's hustle profile and I'm a member of over 100 group boards so if we scroll
down you'll be able to see that just as an example here I'll open up a couple of
the group boards that I mean I'm just trying to see some of the ones that I
was thinking about okay so for example if let's just see how many followers
there on each of these boards so this one is three nine seven nine okay so
this one for example twenty four thousand five hundred and eleven
followers it looks like this one is smaller okay there's another one twenty
two thousand six hundred and twenty six followers so imagine you as a person who
is quite new and you don't have a lot of following and you don't have a lot of
traffic to your blog or to your website you can get into one of these group
boards that has got for example 22,000 followers and then you will be allowed
to share your content okay to all of these 22,000 626 followers then that
means potentially a lot of traffic for you guys and potentially your content
can go viral because the people in this group board there will be repeating the
pins that you put into this group or they might be sharing it
with their audience and you can actually go viral like this so as you can see
here there are actually some rules here okay
it says to join show me some love like subscribe or watch one of my videos and
for my appreciation I'll gladly send you an invite email me so it even has
instructions on how you can join this so essentially if you want to get into this
group board you can and even if you have 0 followers on Pinterest well ideally
you will want to have something like 50 or 100 followers to begin with and I've
got a different media that actually shows you how to get followers on
Pinterest once you've got those photos you can apply to this group board and
then all of a sudden you've got and pretty much instant reach of 22,000
followers and guess what you can join hundred of these group words if you want
you know it's guys really the limit here with the traffic and if you post to them
on a daily basis on a regular basis to big group boards you are virtually
guaranteed to get traffic I mean you pretty much cannot fail alright so with
that out of the way now you hopefully understand the power of group boards and
why you should be joining them and why you should be getting traffic from them
by the way traffic is completely free so it's really awesome let's talk about how
firstly what you need to do to even be able to sort of be qualified you know to
or to be ready to start applying for group boards so first of all you need to
have some content to share to group boards ideal okay you need to have some
content on your profile you need to have ideally at least 50 followers like I
said in my full course on Pinterest traffic it's available at caffeinated
blogger.com slash Pinterest I cover how to get followers as well so you want to
have at least those 50 followers initially because you you want to have a
full profile okay you need to have at least 10 boards and those boards need to
be filled out with content once you've got all of that and once you have got
your own pins that are linking to your own URLs that's when you want to start
applying to group boards so here is how I go about the whole process
now you there's a couple of things you can do it right first of all if you just
go to Pinterest and you type in something like blogging and you choose
boards that is not going to give you any clues as to whether this
particular board that you look at is a group board or not and that's where the
problem lies so all boards look the same okay if
you're searching for boards and it's crawling down they all look exactly the
same you see there is everywhere is just that circle and one profile image
whereas if you're looking inside your own profile you will see that the group
boards have a circle with three profiles okay that's how you can tell so
Pinterest actually makes it very hard for you to be able to find group boards
a lot of these group boards but a lot of these boards that you can see here on
the screen by the way they may well be group boards you just cannot tell by
looking at them so that's why so many people are wondering how do I actually
find the coop boards okay so there's two ways that you can go about finding group
boards way number one is for you to use a
website and there is a free website website called pin Griffey now pin
grouping has got a ton of I think over 60,000 group boards in virtually any
niche ok it's got 65 571 okay and so there's tons of group wads and literally
any niche you can search by keyword here so for example you can look for dogs or
something like that depending which niche you're in and that will bring up
all of the group boards that are in the dogs niche so 463 group boards I mean
that's pretty awesome imagine being part of even 100 group boards in the dog
niche you can get a lot of free traffic this way by sharing your content to
those group boards so that's way number one okay the second way for you to be
able to find group boards is to find Authority profiles in that niche so if
you own a dog niche you would just type in something like dog and then you look
at people and that will bring our profiles that are relevant to dogs so
then you will probably want to open up these bigger ones so thirty nine
thousand followers 195 thousand followers and you can go through their
profiles and see if they are part of any group boards all these dog lovers are
not this is not scripted go so I'm hoping I'm going to be able to find some
here for you I'm just recording this on the fly so to speak
but there will be some of these profiles that will be part of some group words
and if they are part of those group words then you will want to be in those
group words as well all right that's just alright well there you go
so you can see that they are in some some group boards Black Dog salvage okay
so that so when you see this circle and it's got three kind of profiles on there
that means that that's a group board okay so we found one profile that's in a
group board these guys are not this is not but you get the picture right okay
this one actually had are in a lot of group boards so that's perfect we've hit
the jackpot so to speak so these dog health know how they are a profile that
had that is a part of a lot of group boards all right so there's a group
board called Bulldogs one called dog training in info dogs blog pictures
puppies puppies puppies our pets group board I mean that's an amazing group
board I think because it's got five hundred twenty-nine thousand pins there
you go it's got forty five thousand followers okay so like just like this in
in literally under a minute we were able to find it so what I would recommend you
do is I personally use a template that looks like this okay it's a template for
Pinterest group board management you guys can basically download this
template as well if you want if you just go to the link below this video in the
description you can grab this template if you want or you can create your own
it's up to you but what I will do is I keep running tally of profiles to
research so what that means is I will put a URL so remember how we found this
profile that's in a lot of group boards I would just take sometimes you're
browsing Pinterest and all of a sudden you've come across this profile that
looks amazing and you want to continue doing what you're doing but you just
want to make notice of this profile so what you would do is just put this URL
here mention how many followers they've got so they've got twenty four seven
four nine four seven to nine followers and then you will put in comments saying
are some of good words all right and then
you can work your way through this profile and you can start applying to
each of these good words or at least shortlist these group words as you're
doing your research okay and for that I've got this other tab here on the
bottom left called board register so what you could do here is you would
actually start putting in the URLs of the boards that you want to apply to so
starting with these dog pictures for example okay
open it up check it out and see how many followers they have so 14 thousand
followers cool they've got two hundred forty three contributors that's good
means you have a good chance of beating being accepted as well and you will copy
this link okay so like this copy and then just put the URL contributors 243
followers fourteen eight three fourteen thousand eight hundred followers and
then status no status just yet we're gonna put in the status when we actually
start applying for now we're just researching right and then you would
just continue doing this so you would go down and you will put in the URL of each
of these group Ward's along with all of the stats I mean there are a lot of
group boards which is excellent I mean we've found something really really good
so you getting the picture right you find a profile with a lot of followers
and then you just shortlist all the group boards that they're part of as
well so that's the second way or how to find group boards on Pinterest so first
of all just a recap we talked about pin group EECOM which was which is a website
that actually has a directory of group boards but they don't have every single
group board on Pinterest it's just a part part of them okay and then as you
are looking at other profiles in your niche on Pinterest you should you have
to research them then shortlist them into this tab and then from this tab
after you have gone through down the list and you've exhausted all the group
boards for this profile that's when I will put the status research okay so
that's and any ones that you have not researched yet you just continue putting
them down here then you know that you have to continue working through them so
I like to stay organized because it's easy to kind of get confused and
sidetracked with online business I always try to
keep track of everything that I'm doing so that's why I've created this kind of
template that's why I do it this way now okay so basically this is how you can
find the best group boards after you have found the group boards it's time
for you to start applying to group words right now so that you can actually join
those groov boards and you can get accepted into the group boards so how do
we do that all right normally on group boards there
are instructions on how you can join so we've already seen a couple of group
boards with examples on how you can join but let's just open it up and you will
probably be able to see some instructions here once again this is on
the flight not scripted so if there are no instructions here don't get don't get
too worried we'll find some all right so just take a look here okay so no
instructions here so generally there should be something at the very top that
will tell you how to join invite your friends to share so alright so this one
for example says invite your friends to share so that means that anyone who is
in this group board can invite you it's just you can get in touch our first of
all the owner the actual original owner of the group board is always this first
profile okay so if you open up like this open a new tab this will be the profile
on Pinterest that is the original owner of the group board everyone else has
been invited by them so you want to become one of these 32 you want to
become sort of the 33 third person so to speak and what you can do way number one
you can send them a PM and the way to do this is you take this kind of their
handle or whatever you want to call it okay you copy that and this interests
have changed they said let's just take a look here so and then you want to send a
message to them and to send a message to them new message see how like this it
says new message so you go a new message and then you go to and then you paste
and see this has come up that same logo so means this is the right
profile so now you will be able to send them a message okay so you just
now it says to them to duck health know-how and you go next and you will be
able to type in your message here in the bottom left all right so hopefully
you're following this is just the way for you to get in touch with them by OPM
and what you would do then is you type up a message and the message has to say
something like this hi if there is a name then you would use
the name but here you probably don't really know their name okay so here you
might say something like hi Jenny or something you know if you know their
name if you don't know the name my name
my website ease then you put in the link through to your website I guess you will
put in your URL here my Pinterest profile and then you put in the URL to
your Pinterest profile here and then you're just putting your something to
say that you respect them that you're going to follow the rules of the board
and that my content is very similar to what you already post and then if there
is any reference in the group board to the rules of the group board then you
want to mention those as well I understand I'm not to pin more than
ten a day etc you get the picture right and then
you will want to provide your full contact details so your your website
your email address and so on so be nicely professional make sure that you
address any of the criteria that you find in the group board so as an example
let's just go through this alright so for example here it says that are just
going to be posted who would love to have more contributors to this board
alright so these people 35,000 followers they they want to have
tribute errs for an invite to post here follow us then comment under any picture
requesting an invite okay so if you are sick contacting these guys then you
would say that I have I have already followed you and the board and I know
you want to post more than three pins per day all right okay
that's that's it and then what you would need to do for this particular board you
just basically follow the instructions it says follow us first then comment
down there any picture requesting an invite so you need to comment and then
request an invite you can also send a PM that's that's fine you know the people
won't get too upset but you get the idea right you just take a look at it and
address the criteria here so for example here off-topic pins will be deleted
that's fine one adopt-a-pet post per day no
disturbing peaches questions email me so again you've got the contact details
right here so that you can contact them and you can request to be invited now
this gap gets confusing very very quickly so that's why it's important
super important to stay organized okay that's why we have these board registers
so you will put in the URL of the board you will put in details contributors
followers status apply it and then you will put in the date today right
whatever the date is today that you're gonna be doing this and then you put in
the comments so normally I put in a comment I apply it via email Jenny at
whatever calm just so that you know how you actually apply did you comment did
you email because sometimes they don't reply and then in a week or two you will
want to contact any different way perhaps if today you email them then
perhaps in a couple of weeks you might want to send a personal message or a
comment so that's essentially it this is how you apply to group boards and
probably as a rough guide you can expect that approximately something like 20 to
30 percent of group boards that you apply to as long as they are actually
looking for contributors you will find the 20 to 30 percent of them will invite
you within one to two weeks after you apply it may take a while for them to
get back to you because you know everyone's busy and so forth but yeah
something like 20 to 30 percent will apply so you just need to continue
joining different group boards and as long as your profile is good and there
is nothing spammy there is nothing weird going on on your profile and it's full
and you have some followers and you have some content pinned to your profile you
should not have too many problems getting into some really really awesome
group boards guys if you enjoyed this video then make sure that you hit the
