    Hashtags & good quality images on a daily base will help you. If you prefer quantity above quality followers you can use websites like addmefast.com.

    I follow many different boards, following many new people and daily add few new pins, not too much, but still goes very slowly. I collect just 20-30 followers so far. Maybe to get followers on some other way...

    Yes, you can get traffic from pinterest, but make sure to post deals or coupon that is for female genre. Since 80% of pinterest users are female. hope it helps.

    Best method to increase your pinterest followers is to repin others posts and to join boards that are related to your niche , however posting a good unique content is useful too and never forget to use the hash tags , just like twitter hash tags will increase your chances to be noticed by other pinteresters , and remember patience is the key :) goodluck

    I have had lots of luck with ninja pinner. Follow people, pin their posts is all automated. Many users follow back. But like many said here, great content is a must.

    Here's my take on how you can get more followers on Pinterest-
    1. Make sure you fill the basic stuff like location, description properly on your profile. You can attach your Facebook and Twitter profile as well. Also, verify your website as verified websites are ranked higher in Pinterest search results.
    2. This one is very important. Follow people in your niche. See people with similar content. Follow them, repin their pins and repeat. Slowly you will establish yourself in that niche on Pinterest.

    Good Luck.

    There are many ways to increase your followers, but perhaps the easiest way to kickstart your following is to SEO optimize all the titles of your boards. Google places a high amount of authority on Pinterest and I've seen many boards ranking for a search in the first few spots.

    It's also a good idea to have at least 18 boards with at least 5 pins each, because that fills up the entire screen when a user visits your page and makes you look active.

    Another aspect to this is whether or not to have a business acct. or to mix in your business pins with more personal ones. It seems to me that most people have better success getting followers if they have business type interests mixed with their personal pins, it seems more natural/less spammy to the follower & usually gets follows more quickly. Some people do not like to do this & prefer to have business only accts. If you choose to do this, be sure to include boards that are not all consumed with your business or you'll have a hard time getting people to see you as anything but a commercial.

    - Follow those related to your niche
    - Re-post others people post
    - Comment on other peoples post
    - Share funny, weird or helpful pictures
    - Add a Pinterest button on your blog/website
    - BE ACTIVE

    Hope this helps? :)

    That covers most of it, apart from that you can join group boards (if relevant), add Twitter/Facebook accounts and add your website. Also you can verify your website which helps improve your Pinterest search results and builds trust among your followers.

    Whatever you do, don't buy followers.

    Make sure you have at least 18 boards with at least 5 pins in each so your page looks completely full. When people visit your page, you'll look very active and they'll be more inclined to follow.

    Follow other users in your niche and like/re-pin on a daily basis. Try to do no more than 10-15 of each a day so it looks natural. You'll start building up a following relatively quickly. Also, if you have profiles on other social media sites, don't forget to cross-post about your Pinterest page:

    "Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I have a Pinterest page with some really cool images. You should check it out! [link]"

    Mentioning your other profiles is a good way to get follows across all platforms.
