To continue with Facebook they will need to sign in to Facebook, or already be signed in to their Facebook account. There are a few ways to invite someone to be a collaborator on your board:.
Once the person invited has accepted your invitation to join the board, assuming they have a Pinterest account, their name will appear along with any other collaborators to the right of the secret board name when the board is open.
To send a pin to someone from a secret board you would need to temporarily or permanently change the board setting to public from secret. To do this:. You will have to go through this process any time you want to share something from a secret board. Also, if the pin, while public, is shared to another Pinterest account it will not be hidden when you make the board secret again.
If you are having trouble with a secret board invitation, Pinterest suggests making sure you and the person you are inviting are following each other. Technically, you do not need to do this. But, if you are having problems inviting collaborators, see if doing so solves the problem, advises Pinterest. The Pinterest website provides some information about secret boards. Feeling very frustrated and grumpy now I was figuring out how to get invitation from popular boards.
I was invited to pin in few boards without sending them any requests. This post was informative and let me try with these tips. Thank You!
I think I'm missing something None of the boards I'm interested in have any emails or anything to contact. It should be in the board description. If it's not, comment on any pin and they will see it. Thank you so much for explaining this in such great detail! And please - anyone reading this that has a group board -- please add your contact info to the description of your board like Bonnie said.
Too often it feels like a dead end when I find a group board that I would like to participate in. Thanks again for this post! Great info for someone who is a noobie with Pinterest. Question for you though, what do I do if I can't find the contact info to message the group admin to be added to the board? They don't have an email listed or anything really and I can't access them to message them in my messages folder.
Any help would be appreciated! How do we do this?? I am new to Pinterest, I have commented on pins in group boards and tried to contact board administrators, but have not received any replies or invites, am I missing something? I got an invite to pin on a group board, how do I pin on that board from my web site? Thank you for explaining this!
It might sound silly, but I was clueless when it came to group boards. Every post about building traffic through Pinterest credits joining great group boards, but there are far less posts on how to actually do it.
However, the problem is that sometimes board owners either don't respond to request for board invites either because they don't keep up with their notification or they've gone MIA all together.
So it can be frustrating at times trying to get invited to some boards. You're absolutely right about paying for some invites too. It's totally worth it in the long run. This is incredibly helpful! As a new blogger, I didn't understand how people were getting traffic to their site from pinterest. Now it makes a whole lot more sense! I will see which ones I can join now : Thanks!
Great article. I've found quite a few group boards I'd like to join and some of them have hundreds of contributors I'd love to know how they got to be contributors! Only one has had clear information on how to contact and that person has never responded to my request. Are there any updates on how to do this? Great article, thanks so much!
I am not sure how to find the e-mail of the group board owner? Thanks for your help Post a Comment. February 19, This weekend I finally set up my Pinterest group boards. I know, I know! I should have done it a long time ago, but it's kind of a lot of work!
Although I truly love Pinterest, I really wish there was an easier way to invite people to group boards! Each person who wants to join has to contact you through email that's a lot of email to deal with and each person has to be added individually to each board.
Pinterest are you listening? There has got to be a better way to do this! Since this is the system we're working with, here's everything you need to know about using Pinterest group boards.
For this tutorial, I'll refer to the person who starts a group board as the board administrator. This is the person who is responsible for creating and maintaining the group board as well as inviting others to pin on the board. The board administrator can also decide to remove members who don't pin appropriately see below and they can delete the entire group board if they choose to.
Contributors are the people who are invited to pin on a group board. Tips for board administrators: Make it easy for contributors to join your board by posting clear instructions. This is such an important thing to do! The easier it is for pinners to contact you and join your board, the more people will be part of the board and the more exposure everyone gets for their pins.
Often when I visit a group board, there's no information about who created the board or how to join it. Many times I'll see "email me for a board invite" in the board description, but pinners can't tell who started the board and don't know who you are or how to contact you. You can use up to characters in the board description to let people know exactly how to contact you and how to join the board.
If you already have a group board, it's easy to click "edit" to change or update the contact information on your group board. Use a separate email address for group board invites. As a board administrator, you may want to create a separate email address for your group boards. This keeps your main email inbox from filling up with group board requests.
It also prevents your main email address from receiving potential spam. If you do start getting spam, you can easily change your email address without it affecting your main email account. This is Pinterest's rule and you simply can't be added to a group board unless you are following the person who created it. You must follow the person, not just the board you want to pin to. If the person pins a lot or has a lot of boards that don't interest you, don't worry.
You can always unfollow some not all of their boards after you follow them and are invited to their group boards. Contact the board administrator and ask for an invite. This is sometimes difficult to do if the board administrator hasn't left clear instructions. The first person listed as an editor is the person who started the board and that's the person you should contact. Know the difference between your Pinterest email, url, and user name.
Your Pinterest email is the email account that you used to open your Pinterest account. This is where all of your Pinterest updates and notifications are sent to. If you don't remember what email account is connected to Pinterest, click on your name on the upper right corner. Click settings on the drop down menu. Your Pinterest user name is how you are known on Pinterest and how people can search for you on Pinterest.
Use the correct email address your Pinterest email to contact the board administrator. Most of us have more than one email account. When you request an invite to a group board, send the request from your Pinterest email - the email account that you used to sign up for your Pinterest account. The board administrator will use your email address to send you an invitation through Pinterest.
If you contact a board administrator from an email that's not connected or associated with your Pinterest account, your invitation will show up in your inbox, but it won't work because it's not connected to your Pinterest account. Once the board administrator has added you to the group board, you will receive a notice from Pinterest in your email. If you have your email settings turned off in Pinterest, you may not get the invitation.
Another place to look is in the upper right corner of your Pinterest page. Next to your name is a red box with a number. This gives you updates on who has pinned from you and who started following you. It also gives you updates about who has invited you to group boards. Look here for your invitation. After accepting an invitation to pin on a group board, you must pin responsibly or the board administrator will delete you from the board. Visit the Pinterest Group Board Directory. Tags: Pinterest.

Anonymous April 29, at PM. Click on it and they will be invited and it will be up to them to accept the invitation or decline it. Note: To be able to invite someone you will need either to follow them or one of their boards. If you just invite people out of the blue very few might accept your invitation. So here is a simple tip on how to get more people to accept your invitation and to start pinning onto your boards.
The easiest way to get people to accept your invitation is by simply asking them. Before you send a board invitation, send them an email. You share some great pins on Wonderland. You seem to know a lot about it. I really like your profile. My followers enjoy looking at pins on wonderland. If the person gets back to you and lets you know that they are interested, you can send them an invitation. You can easily locate users Twitter accounts on their Pinterest profiles and brand pages.
Would you be interested in guest pinning for my board?
