If you’re building a report for an older post, gathering the deliverable URLs takes a little digging. Finding old pins on Pinterest is easier than it looks once you know where to search.
Searching your own pins
Searching your own pins works the same as searching anyone’s pins on Pinterest — the only difference is narrowing the search to your own using the dropdown to the right of the search bar, shown here:
Once your search is narrowed to your own pins, the next question is what to search for.
Locating the right pin
You likely have thousands of pins, so knowing what to search for matters more than the search itself. A couple of tips:
Visit the related post on your site and click its “pin it” button to remind yourself which pin you’re looking for.
Select the pin as though you were going to pin it, and look at the description and hashtags it uses. Search on parts of that description or those hashtags to find the correct pin faster.
With these tips, what might have taken a day of digging should take a few minutes.
