Motivated-Midlifers

Midlifers really like Pinterest. In fact, according to Ignite Social Media, 53% of Pinterest users fall between thirty-five and fifty-four years of age. What’s more, 80% of all users are women. So, it’s safe to say female midlifers are big fans of this social media platform.

However, Pinterest isn’t exactly social. As a user, you will find little opportunity for networking, friending, or chit-chatting in general. Instead, think of Pinterest as a search engine like Google. That being said, you can make comments on pins, follow specific people or businesses, and join group boards. People typically join Pinterest group boards to promote their business products or blogs. Additionally, you can participate in other types of group boards based on your hobbies and interests.

What Are Pinterest Group Boards?

A group board is substantially the same as any other Pinterest board. The only difference is that many people (members) contribute pins to it rather than just one person. It’s important to note that you can follow a board without becoming a member.

The creator of the board acts as an admin who can add new members or remove members who don’t follow the rules. The creator is the first person pictured next to the group’s description. The description explains what topics are covered and usually gives instructions on how to become a member.

How Can I Find Pinterest Group Boards?

Before I give you my list of group boards for midlifers, let me explain how to find other group boards that pique your interest. There are a few methods of discovering relevant boards.

First, you can go to the Pinterest website and type in a word or phrase you want to search for. People and boards with names containing your searched word or phrase will appear.

Second, look at your competitors’ boards to see which group boards they belong to and contribute to frequently.

Third, check out your analytics if you have a Pinterest business account. Look at ‘People You Reach,’ then ‘Interests,’ then ‘Your Followers.’

Fourth, search Pin Groupie to find groups and learn vital statistics about each one. This is my favorite method. You can search by category, word, phrase, or description. And it’s free to use. Woohoo!

Here is a short YouTube video to help you learn to use Pin Groupie:

5. Forty Plus Bloggers Supporting Each Other permits up to three pins per day to be submitted by members. Pins must be of articles and not items or services for sale. To become a member, you must be a writer who is forty plus and willing to share other members’ content.

8. Midlife Inspiration is comprised of a small yet mighty group of women focused on embracing and enjoying life after forty. Pins on this board offer tips on everything from health to love to career.

Vintage Hippies 50+ is Pinterest’s virtual time machine. Travel back to the sixties and seventies if you’re feeling a bit nostalgic. Pins are meant to promote a vintage hippie culture and lifestyle.
