When I first began blogging, I had no clue what I was doing. In short, I was a mess. I was spinning out content with no results, had few page-views and felt I was getting nowhere with Pinterest.
Fast forward a few months and I finally began to get a grasp on the whole blogging biz world and how to grow my blog traffic. I even wrote a step-by-step guide that takes you through everything you need to do to start a blog which you can find here.
The secret behind my traffic going from 50 sessions per day to 900 is a combination of Tailwind and Pinterest.
What is Tailwind?
Tailwind is an automated scheduler tool that can be used to schedule pins/posts to Pinterest and Instagram. With Tailwind’s optimized time feature, increasing your overall pin engagement becomes much easier.
Along with the scheduler, you have the opportunity to join Tailwind Tribes. These tribes are similar to Pinterest Group Boards except 100 times better. Tribes can be very niche-based or broad, but there is definitely a tribe out there for you and, if not, you can start your own.
Now, there are a lot of tribes floating around, some much better than others. I know how frustrating it can be to post pins to Tribes that produce no results which is why I decided to put together a list of the best Tailwind Tribes. I have personally used all the Tribes in my Favorite’s list. All other tribes were only given a spot if they had at least a 4 out of 5 (for their engagement score).
The normal rules for tribes are as follows: pins must be vertical and high-quality and you should repin two other pins for every pin you post to the tribe.

Are You Ready?
Create a Tailwind account now if you don’t have one (use this link and get one month free when you upgrade). I may get credited if you upgrade to the paid plan at no extra cost to you.
All you have to do is click on the link and it will take you to the tribe so you can join. Some tribes may require you to request to join which means you will have to wait to be accepted.
