The Best Pinterest Group Boards To Join – By Niche
Fed up looking for Pinterest Group Boards to Join? Then you’ve come to the right place! Finding new Pinterest group boards to join can be a real chore and being accepted to group boards is even more challenging.
Because I appreciate you all so much I have done some homework, so you don’t have to.
Update: It’s 2026 and group boards are not as much of a focus as in the past. They are harder to join and are not something I’d recommend as part of your Pinterest marketing strategy. Saying that, you can still check out the list below and decide for yourself whether to try them or not. However, I would say that you should first focus on creating your own boards and growing your followers organically.

What Exactly are Pinterest Group Boards?
Group boards are similar to regular Pinterest boards, except you can have multiple contributors to that board.
You’ll know you’ve found a group when you see a circle with a few faces in it – like the below example in my Blogging Tips & Resources group board.
Group boards have an owner who sets the rules, which they state in the group board description. Always make sure to follow the group rules, otherwise, there’s a good chance you’ll be removed from the group.
It’s also extremely important to repin other content in the board, so Pinterest sees it as an active board. This makes the Pinterest algorithm happy. By pinning other content will actually help you succeed as well.

Are Pinterest Group Boards Still Important in 2026?
In the past Pinterest group boards gave you a larger reach for your Pinterest content. The idea was to contribute to group boards to reap the benefits of Pinterest group board owners who either have:
- A larger number of followers than you
- Completely different followers
Today as I’m updating this article, group boards are not an area to focus on like they were in the past. Here are a few caveats though…
Group boards might still work if:
- You get together with a few other people in your niche and create a group board – and actively share related content in a given board. The idea here is to keep the group quite small (maybe 5 people)
- You test out a couple of niche group boards from others where it seems like the engagement is high
- To understand this one thing you can do click on the board owners profile pic and see what their monthly views are. If the views are really high (over 2MM views let’s say) then there is a chance that their group board could perform well
Pinterest Boards: Tips for Joining
1. To contribute to any Pinterest board you must follow the board and the board owner. Pinterest won’t actually let board owners invite someone unless they follow.
2. Some board owners will ask you to message them via Pinterest. To find the board owner simply click on the 3 circles in the top right corner of the board. This will show all of the contributors and the very top person is the board owner.
Example…
3. If the board owner asks you to email them, make sure you send a positive, helpful email that will help the board owner decide whether to add you.
- Ensure you have content that falls under that board owner’s niche.
- Share your Pinterest profile link + Pinterest email.
- Follow any other requirements the board owner has.
- Communicate that you are looking forward to joining the board and will follow the board rules.
- Be professional! (I have had many requests from people that ask with no please or thank you).
If you follow the above tips it will be a lot easier to get approved to the Pinterest group boards you are applying to.
4. NEW tip: If you are really interested in trying a few niche group boards I recommend reaching out to other bloggers in your niche to test it out.
As mentioned above I wouldn’t have more than 5 people in a group and you’ll want to make sure everyone is very active and only pinning super specific pins to the board.
The best way to find these people is through your blogging network. You can connect with other bloggers in your niche through Facebook groups for example.
👉 Also, note: Many board owners are not paying attention to these requests anymore, so there’s a chance you may not hear back from them. If so, move on and focus on a different Pinterest strategy such as improving your pin designs with these free Pin templates or understanding how to find the best keywords for your pin titles and descriptions.
