# How to grow a Pinterest account without getting locked?

I have also undergone many experiments and concluded that: Large accounts also only have an average of fewer than 20 pins/day. You can see more behaviors of large accounts here: hey.sortpin.com\
Regarding pinning data on Pinterest, there are currently 3 types of pins:

* Manual pin.
* Pin via excel file <= 200 urls/upload.
* Pin via API with no pin limit.

### **Manual pin:**

* Pin less than 5 pins every day.
* Update profile picture
* Update profile description
* Search for 5 different keywords every day.
* View at least 10 pins every day (clicking on each pin will count as 1 view)\
  \==> Repeat for about 1 week.

This is a basic approach that a normal user would use. I have tested this method with a new account, very safe. Here are the results after 2 weeks of maintenance.

### **Pin via excel file (not applicable for newly created accounts):**

You can pin up to <=200 pins/upload file at a time.\
However, for this method, the account must be at least 3 months old, have a certain number of followers, and have a certain number of saved pins on the account.

* **Advantages**: Quickly creating multiple pins at once, saving time.
* **Disadvantages**: Data errors sometimes occur, limited to 200 URLs for each upload.

Your csv file should be structured as follows:

After finishing composing the Excel file, you go to settings => Bulk create Pins => upload the Excel file to Pinterest here.

Suitable for those with more data than method one. Suitable for e-commerce websites.

### **Pin via API:**

This method has no pin limits. E-commerce platforms use this method to pin, having millions of products pinned in one API use.\
This method is only applicable for e-commerce websites, using the API to list product catalogs on Pinterest.

Some plugins support automatic API creation and connection like:\
**Pinterest for WooCommerce** (wordpress), **App Pinterest** (shopify), etc....

The above 3 methods still work well, but the appropriate method depends on the credibility of the account for implementation.
