How To Use Tailwind Tribes To Get More Traffic

This is a question that gets asked ALL THE TIME... should I even bother with Tailwind Tribes? In today's post, I'm going to help you figure out the answer to that question.

In the spring of 2018, Pinterest made some MAJOR changes to their algorithym. Pinterest did a few live interviews where they mentioned that group boards would be getting less reach in the smart feed. 

A lot of people freaked out and left all of their group boards. Even if they were still getting results with a group board, they left anyways, thinking... GROUP BOARDS ARE DEAD!

I DO NOT recommend you do this!

You need to analyze (to the best of your ability) if the group boards you're in are still working for you.  There are ways to find out this information, but that's a whole other blog post. 

One of the best things you can do is go into your group board and make sure all the pins have the same topic. If you blog about personal finance you don't want to see a bunch of decorating pins.

Still not sure if you should leave? You can now archive your group boards. So, if you're debating whether you should leave or not... why not just archive some of your group boards and see if this has any impact on your results from Pinterest.

Tribes are getting A LOT more engagement than they were in the past. Six months ago, I would've told you to give it a try but don't expect a lot of traffic from Tribes.

But, with all the changes that happened this past spring (BoardBooster closing up shop and Pinterest telling people that pins in group boards will be getting less reach), people flocked to Tribes as an alternative.

Now that more people are utilizing Tailwind Tribes you can actually get a lot more traffic from having a tribe strategy.

In addition to using Pinterest to promote my own blog, I also have a few clients that I was able to test this Tribes strategy with and the results blew me away!

Here you'll see three different results from Tribes using 3 different accounts. The first one you'll see is for this blog. 

I belong to 10 tribes but only half of them perform really well for me so I just save more of my pins to them.

I have 10 Tribes I'm a member of and I can save 80 pins to them every month. After seeing the results from last month, I'm thinking about upgrading to the paid version of Tribes so I can get even more shares and reach. (update: I decided to power up my Tribes, so now I can join an unlimited amount of Tribes and save 200 pins to them each month)

These screen shots came from inside my Google Analytics account. This is where you'll be able to see exactly how much trafic Tribes is sending to your site.

To find this information inside your GA account just go to Acquisition > Campaigns > All Campaigns > Tailwind_Tribes

Maybe you looked at these results and thought... amazing! Now how do I find THE BEST tribes to join? 

I'm going to give you the exact Tribes that perform really well for me in the blogging niche. You can search for these by name in the FIND TRIBES tab inside your Tailwind account and request to join.
