How do you add a board cover?
The pin below is the board cover that I want to create for Fall Decor.
You can edit the board in one of two ways. Regardless of which method you choose, in the end you’ll be clicking on the little pin to edit the board.
a. Click on the board that you want to add a board cover. For this method, the board gets edited in the upper left corner.
b. For the board getting edited you’ll need to click on the little pin in the lower right hand corner.
Once you are in the board, once again, you’ll click on the pin to edit the board cover (located in the lower right).
Use the cursor arrows left or right to change the board cover. Once you have your image centered in the middle, click Save Changes (see below). The last step will be to click on Done after it returns to the Edit your Board (as depicted above).
What’s the least amount of pins that should be in each board to be a good working board?
Users of Tailwind are familiar with this statement: “The most successful brands on Pinterest take advantage of every opportunity the platform provides. We recommend you follow these steps to make the most of your account.” I really like Tailwind because it provides so much insight. “The most successful boards usually have at least 10 pins.”
The trial to Tailwind is based on 100 scheduled Pins. Instagram, Pinterest, and Tailwind are separate paid subscriptions. One major reason to use Tailwind is that Tailwind is a Pinterest and Instagram Partner.
How do I make a Group Board?
To make a group board, edit your board (as described above) and click on the “+” sign next to Collaborators Learn more.
Then you can send invites to people or type in their e-mail address in the second box (below “Copy link”).
How do I join Group Boards?
Follow the directions that are in the description of the Group Board that you want to join (which vary in nature). Usually, you’ll be asked to follow all of the boards, and then contact the individual by e-mail or fill in their online form. For a large number of Pinterest Group Boards that you might be able to start collaborating or just want to take a look at their pins, visit Blogtober Day 13 – 15 Pinterest Boards = 1,178 Group Boards.

For Search Engine Optimization (SEO) what needs to be within a pin?
For the best Search Engine Optimization for Pinterest, again review to this post.
How should boards get arranged?
Most boards that I have viewed are arranged in alphabetical order (A – Z). To make it easier for other people to view your boards, I would suggest this by default. Other options are Drag and drop, and Last saved to.
What is Tailwind that everyone is talking about?
Tailwind is the program used by a large percentage of bloggers to make pinning easier and share their collection of pins. Think of it as a glorified Group Board. Through Tailwind you can direct pins to various boards and share them with other communities to grow your website traffic.
NOTE: Tailwind used to have what’s called Tailwind Tribes. The name was changed to Tailwind Communities. So if you still see Tribes on different posts, it’s synonymous with Communities.
How do I make a “viral” pin?

How many pins should I be adding to my main boards on a daily basis?
