Tailwind Tribes are taking bloggers by storm and helping them gain more “pins” as well as traffic to their blog. If you are a blogger you have probably heard bloggers sharing mixed opinions about Tailwind.
We asked some questions and found out that this simple platform that helps automate pins to Pinterest is a time-save and boosts website traffic when used properly.
Tailwind does cost money to join and has a monthly fee. However, I haven’t really heard many bloggers complain as the success you gain outweighs the small fee.
What is Tailwind for Bloggers?
Tailwind allows you to schedule pins for months ahead. If you take time one day to plan out and schedule your favorite blog pins and incorporate some of your own pins, it can make for the perfect combination for your Pinterest boards.
When you team up with Tribes, you work with other bloggers to grow your reach. Some tribes have hundreds of thousands of people when combined, so it is a huge perk.
Essentially, you pin their pins and they pin yours. Together you benefit from each other. That is why blogging is a community and we should always support each other. This world is so big there is enough for all of us.
Let’s get started with how to use Tailwind.
Create a Schedule
Take time to add Tailwind to your schedule. Try to schedule around 10-15 Pins a day to start out. You might sit down for an hour and do the entire week, that’s up to you.
Consistency on Pinterest is key. You can work your way up to 30 Pins a day If you feel lucky. Many bloggers have great success building website traffic with 25-30 scheduled Pins a day.
Best Time of the Day
The magical part of Tailwind is it reads your analytics and shares the best times of day for you. They look at clicks and more from the past and do their magic to find the ultimate time to pin.
That right there is worth paying for as it saves you time and energy while getting the most out of your posts.
Options
You have so many options when it comes to Tailwind. You can pin one of your top pins on a variety of boards throughout the day, this is great for pushing for holidays.
Maybe you have an Easter craft or dessert that just brings in huge amounts of traffic, push it even harder, and see a bigger payout. Pin 5 different images from the same post, throughout the month or year, so it allows you to promote that many more times with a variety of images.
Interval Pinning
This option is a huge perk. Take one image from a post and pin to a variety of your boards within seconds. If the post is relevant pin to multiple boards. Why? Because not everyone follows your complete list of boards.
They might only follow one or two, so pinning to a variety of boards allows you to maximize your exposure to readers. Spreading the pins out helps in not making things look like they are on repeat, and you can fill in gaps with other people’s content so it doesn’t look like you are just self-promoting.
Insight
Tailwind allows you to see if you are growing your traffic, clicks, and more. It allows you to see if maybe you need to pin a bit more or slow down a bit cause you’re pushing too much content too quickly.
You can view engagement rate, viral score, performance, and more. This is a great tool to look at and decipher. If you aren’t that tech-savvy and struggle deciphering, hire out a person who specializes in Tailwind to help give you guidance.
And now we’re excited to share that Tailwind has Instagram options. Not only is this fabulous platform to boost website traffic on Pinterest getting you that traffic source, but you can use Tailwind Create to get more exposure on Instagram.
This just skims the surface of all the perks and benefits of Tailwind. It is a no-brainer to give it a try and see the success that comes your way if you blog and want to grow!
