Your Pinterest Username is Not Available? Here’s how to fix it!

Ideally, you would create your brand with the availability of social media usernames in mind. This means that you would check to see whether the name you want to use is available on the platforms you want before establishing your personal or business presence.

If, however, your name is unavailable on Pinterest or other social channels, you’ll need to create a variation of it. This could mean adding a prefix or suffix to your username so it becomes unique. Otherwise, you could try contacting the person who has the handle you want to see if they’d be willing to give it up. Although, this strategy usually only works if the person isn’t using their account.

Should Your Pinterest Username and Instagram Name be the Same?

Instagram and Pinterest are both visual social networks, but they have very different purposes. Instagram is about sharing. Pinterest is about discovering. However, their audiences can still overlap. For example, someone might “like” your content on Instagram and then use Pinterest to save the same content on one of their boards. For this reason, you need to make sure that your Pinterest and Instagram handles are the same. This way, people can find you on both platforms.
