How to create Pinterest secret boards to surprise your competition

Do you wish you could create Pinterest boards ahead of time without other users seeing them?

With the introduction of Pinterest secret boards, now you can.

This means you can curate content on your Pinterest boards and keep them private until you are ready to publish them.

What are Pinterest secret boards?

Pinterest secret boards are boards that are only visible to the person who creates them and the people they invite to pin to them.

When you create Pinterest secret boards, they don’t show up anywhere else on Pinterest.

This includes: categories, search results, your feed, as well as the activity pages.

To create your own Pinterest secret boards, follow these instructions.
