</a>I decided to write a short post on Pinterest Tips-How to grow your following successfully without automation for two reasons:
1. It works and you should always be ready to add another string to your bow. New or different strategies in blogging or online marketing are always valuable.
Pinterest also rewards manual pinning by putting more of your pins in the feed.
2. There are times when 'life happens' in unexpected ways and we need to look for different strategies. The accumulation of monthly fees, especially if something unexpected happens, is tough for some people.
The monthly fees add up and some people need to make choices and a brief (or longer) stint away from automation tools may be necessary.
It can also help newbies understand the power they have sharing other people's posts, outside automation tools, when working online.
Your Pinterest Tips
It's difficult to pin 50-100 pins a day, spaced out at optimum times. if you are working out of the home, so you can:
1. Go into your home feed and pin from your feed throughout the day. You only need to pin 2 or 3 (as many times as you can afford timewise) times a day to notice your followers going up on a daily basis, at a good rate.
I pin about 5 pins each time, sometimes less and sometimes more. But I always get a good result with followers the next day.
Make sure that some of these pins are not only from your followers but in your niche.
This is super important as you want to introduce new followers and not just get pinned by your followers.
Click on a pin that is from your niche and that will take the pin onto a new page and out of your feed.

You can follow up by checking out who pinned the pin or find the origin of the pin next to the pin, at the top right.
Go to the profile of that person and choose to follow all or some boards. Pin one of their pins from a board, as well.
You will see what keyword suggestions come up next to their boards if they do not have a business account yet, and then make a better decision as to whether you would like them as a follower.
You would also get some 'love' if you pin others' pins to your group boards!
I usually have quite a few daily pins on Tailwind (75-100) and, believe me, if you're stuck and can't fund the automation, this method requires fewer pins to be pinned but will get you followers.
People like variety in their feed and they like to be pinned also!

2. Go into Tailwind.
If you have had an account as you can still use Tailwind Tribes to find good pins in your niche.
You will not be able to put them into a queue but you can click on the url at the bottom of the pin.
See if you like the pin, then share it from their website to Pinterest. Then send them a note on Tailwind Tribes to tell them you shared their pin.
Hopefully, they will go into your pin feed on Tailwind Tribes and share one of your pins.
One thing I always do is send a 'thank you' to anyone who shares one of my pins from Tailwind Tribes and then I reciprocate.

3. You can find lots of great tweets on Twitter so you can share these, as well, if they have a suitable Pinterest-sized image.
4. If you are in other bloggers' groups, e.g. Facebook, share their posts, if they have a Pinterest pin. Or you could also share your pin here.
The power of pinning quality pins from other people will show in your follower rate.

It is noticeable daily and a great reward for sharing from the Pinterest community.
Tailwind is great and has its purpose but it must be teamed with manual pinning also, for maximum effectiveness.

Pinterest is actually rewarding you for visiting your Home Feed and pinning from there.
Pinterest wants you to actually visit their site, not just automate your pins by queuing them on Tailwind.
When I first started blogging, the more experienced bloggers advocated the 80:20 rule to get followers-80 pins that belong to others in your niche, and 20 of your pins.

This makes sense as you have a greater chance of getting your pin in front of their followers, not just your own followers.
