By now, you’ve probably heard that Pinterest is a great way to get your content into the universe and if you haven’t heard.. now you know! I repeat – Pinterest is a great way to get your amazing content into the universe! Pinterest is so valuable because it’s a visual search engine, which means it’s a perfect place to market your products on TeachersPayTeachers. An awesome feature of Pinterest are group or collaborative boards. I’m here to share how you can use these type of boards on Pinterest to market your products.

What is a group board?
A group board is a board on Pinterest where multiple collaborators can contribute pins to the same board. Group boards can consist of a few people or a ton of people. The more people, the more exposure to your pins and ultimately your products on TpT.
How do I join?
There’s a couple of ways to join group boards. One way to find group boards within your niche is through Pingroupie.com. Here, you put in your category (I put in education) and then you can search terms that are in the board title such as TpT. When I search these terms, 213 TpT boards show up! From there, you hover over the description to see what the board is exactly about and the rules for the specific board. Most of the descriptions include an email for the creator of the board where you can email to join or just simply write them a message through Pinterest!
Another way to join is to browse your favorite accounts on Pinterest and see if they belong to any group boards. Click into the board and see if there is an email to contact the creator or send them a direct message on Pinterest.
Group Board Benefits
The benefit of group boards is similar to Tailwind Tribes, which is to get your content out to a larger audience. Other collaborators in the group boards may see your pin and repin. This gets your pin out to their followers! Woohoo! From personal experience, my most popular pins are repinned from the group boards that I am apart of.
Tip for Pinning your TpT Products
Create a separate image for your TpT product pin instead of just using the cover you use on TpT. Pins do better when they are longer so I use the canva dimensions and create the picture for my pin on there. You can also create it on powerpoint and adjust the sizing (I use 9.5 by 15 inches).
Join my Group Board
I’ve always loved being apart of group boards but have never had the courage to start my own.. until now! If you’re a teacher who loves finding engaging lessons, hands on activities, and endless inspiration join my group board!
