When To Submit Pins To Tribes

Submitting pins to Tribes is pretty easy, but there’s a certain way to do it that will guarantee you get the maximum amount of traffic and exposure.

The key here is to wait until your pin already has some repins on Pinterest and then submit it to Tribes.

This is because on Tribes, you can see which pins have repins on them. Naturally, people want to pin content that is already popular on Pinterest, so the more repins you have on your pin before posting it to Tribes, the better.

The good thing about Tribes is that repins aren’t attached to individual pins: Tribes actually count all the repins of the URL that is linked to your pin. So, if you have an old blog post that is already popular on Pinterest, creating a new pin for that blog post will already have tons of repins on it, even if it’s never been re-pinned before.

For best results, submit your pins to the same Tribes on a consistent basis, like once per month.

How To Choose Who’s Content To Share

Generally when choosing what content to share from others it’s best to stick to content that is already popular on Pinterest and Tribes. When scrolling through your Tribes, you’ll see how many repins all the other pins have and you’ll also see how many other Pinner’s have shared the pin.

I tend to only rein content that already has many reins on Pinterest and that’s also trending on Tribes – this is the safest bet. If the content is already popular on Pinterest, it’s more likely to resonate with your audience also.

To find the most popular content, I like to go to Tribes -> Insights -> Tribe Highlights and see who’s content has been shared the most amount of times. I then picks a few of the pins that fit my niche and my boards, and go ahead and schedule them.
