repin your content, you’ll lose traction and virality. This is why it’s important for you to
engage with your followers and to establish a symbiotic relationship with the community.

the hearts and emotions of your followers by interacting with them and learning more
about their likes and dislikes. Here are some tips:

brand. Find the pinners who have hundreds, even thousands of active followers and
who also post high-quality viral pins. There are several tools and websites that you
can use to find these pinners. Refer to the list provided in the previous chapter to
see the best tools for this purpose. Then comment, repin and begin to build a
relationship with that person.

well, so you’ll need to consider the number of users who will get to see your
content if it is repinned. Having partnerships with top pinners will guarantee
that your posts will be seen by a large audience.
