You must add the Profile widget: Akin the Pinterest Follow button, the profile widget also redirects your website visitors to your Pinterest page.

Another tricky method to fetch more followers by attracting people’s interest is by sharing a lot of images as images attract more people fast.

Popular Pins

You must comment on the most admired or trendy pins: The Popular category on Pinterest shows the pins that have been liked repined or commented several times. You can actually take the advantage of this by commenting on these pins and diverting people’s attention to your own Pinterest page. But you should comment relevantly and meaningfully to let people know that you care about the subject. The key to get more followers on Pinterest is repinning pins that are popular since you know they have a better "response".

Mention other people:

Obviously mentioning someone will draw their attention. So you must consider complimenting them to make them follow you.

Connect via social networks

You can connect all your social networking accounts: There are several advantages of connecting your all social networking accounts to your Pinterest page such as you can find your friends and connect with them. Having your friends follow you is the simplest way to gain followers on Pinterest.

Group boards

Contribute on Other’s Boards: This is the easiest way to fetch more followers on Pinterest. You must contribute to the boards with lots of followers. If your contributions on these boards are liked by the followers of these boards they start following you too. Look for group boards via the search box as this is the best way to get noticed.

Promote your own board

Besides contributing on other’s boards, you must also try to promote your own board also. A lot of people prefer following only the board than following the whole profile. You can work on to get more followers on your most popular boards than on your profile.

Follow those who follow you

You must follow others and keep your followers happy: You should look out for people with same interests and follow them. With this in mind, they will follow you back. You can continue to follow back the person who follows you and stop following the person who doesn’t.
