Do Followers Matter? How Can We Get More Engaged Followers?

1.	Do Followers Matter? How Can We Get More Engaged Followers?
Answer» Followers still represent a small portion of the people you reach on Pinterest. We now feature the total number you’re reaching every month on the new profile. The vast majority of distribution is still going to happen beyond your followers. This is why SEO is important. Now there’s a dedicated space to find content from accounts you follow. QUALITY is more important than QUANTITY. Better to have a small, engaged audience than a large unengaged one. Pinterest recommends you if you’re a consistent Pinner, have a business account, and CLAIM your website. Next step is to add the Follow button to your website. Make sure your followers on other channels know you’re on Pinterest. Encourage your readers to use the “tried it” feature on your Pins. EMBED the Pin on the blog and suggest they try it out and LEAVE a comment. The natural step for them would be to follow you if they’re not already.
