Still putting off Pinterest? Let’s fix that.


Hey Reader,

Imagine this…

You started a Pinterest account three years ago when you sold printable planners on Etsy.

You had boards like:

  • Yummy in my tummy
  • Cute outfits
  • Kid stuff
  • Christmas 2013

But today? You’re a systems strategist for online coaches, and your offers are ClickUp templates, automations, and done for you setups.

Those old boards? They don’t match your current business, content, or keywords.

You could rename those boards or archive the old Pins, but what do you do when you want to Pin personal content? Your business profile shouldn’t be built on top of your personal account unless you’re a lifestyle creator who Pins everything and the kitchen sink.

Trying to fix a Pinterest profile that no longer reflects your brand or business can slow you down more than starting fresh.

If your current profile was set up years ago when you had a different niche, or you’ve got dozens of outdated boards that make your own head spin, it might be time to let it go and start from scratch.

Because Pinterest isn’t just another social media profile—it’s a search engine.

That means how your profile is set up really matters. It affects:

  • Whether your Pins show up in search
  • Who sees your content
  • How credible you look to potential buyers or clients

A jumbled profile full of random boards and old content doesn’t just look messy—it confuses the algorithm, you and your audience.

So if you've been putting off Pinterest because you're unsure where to begin, I want to simplify it for you:

Don’t waste hours trying to patch the old. Just start clean and build with strategy.

Pinterest is a search engine, not a scrapbook.

If the keywords in your bio, boards, and Pins don’t align with your business goals right now, you’re going to struggle to grow.

That’s why if your current profile is misaligned it’s often better to start a new account with a clean, strategic foundation.

It sounds scary, but it’s actually a power move.

And tomorrow, I’m going to walk you through it.

A step-by-step Pinterest account setup guide that walks you through creating your profile with strategy from day one.

No fluff. Just real examples, simple steps, and a setup that actually supports your marketing goals.

We’ll talk about it tomorrow.

Cheers,

Heather

Hello Reader, When it comes to SEO, most bloggers think Google first.That’s fine until they try to apply the same rules on Pinterest. Here’s the truth: the two platforms share search principles, but not data.Tools like Keywords Everywhere (one of my personal Google favorites) pull their numbers from Google’s API — not Pinterest’s. That means the volume, difficulty, and suggestions you see are for Google search behavior, not for Pinterest users. Pinterest has its own ecosystem, its own user...
