HOW TO USE TAILWIND FOR TRAFFIC GROWTH
The number 1 tip to use Tailwind for traffic growth is via tribes. It gets your blog in front of the most people. The number 2 tip to traffic growth with Tailwind is to automate your processes so that you can batch post to social accounts and use the time saved elsewhere in your blog.
Tailwind Tribes
With Tailwind’s Tribes, you join collaborative membership groups where you add pins and reshare pins from others in a similar niche.
Another way they differ from Pinterest groups is that members are required to reshare content (it’s actually tracked by the admin), which means you get more engagement and reshares. You can find some really specific niche groups, which help you get your content in front of the right audience. An added benefit is that people can share your content to their group boards, not just their individual board audiences.
Scheduling
Tailwind can get your posts in front of more influential bloggers, but that doesn’t mean you can forget your general audience and the people in your actual target market. To engage with these people more efficiently Tailwind offers scheduling. Scheduling what?
Tailwind allows you to schedule how often and what content you share on Pinterest. You can set up your bread and butter content on a rotation to be reshaped at the most optimal times, or you can schedule content from others to keep your boards fresh. The great thing is the tool comes with all kinds of suggestions and how-to’s and explanations on what’s what.
The tool can also be used for scheduling Instagram content. This is especially helpful if you want to see the overall appearance of your profile and stick to a template. What’s even better is you can batch the captions so you don’t have to think of captions on the spot. Tailwind also helps with choosing hashtags that will get your posts discovered by the right audiences.
