If you want consistent traffic to your online business, without relying on Instagram or TikTok... Pinterest is one of the most reliable organic growth platforms available.

And the best part?

You don’t need design experience. Canva makes everything simple.

Pinterest is a visual search engine, which means your pins can bring traffic for months or even years.

And if you’re building a business around digital products, Pinterest becomes even more powerful, because every pin can drive traffic directly to your blog or sales pages.

Start With the Right Pin Size

Pinterest prefers vertical pins.

The ideal dimensions are:

  • 1000 × 1500 px (standard recommended)

  • or 1080 × 1920 px for Idea Pins

In Canva:

  • Click Create a Design

  • Select Pinterest Pin (auto-sized)

Correct sizing improves ranking and visibility.

Use a Bold, Clean Layout

Pinterest users scroll fast.

You have under one second to capture attention.

Use:

  • high contrast

  • bold headline text

  • a clean background

  • minimal elements

  • easy-to-read fonts

Avoid clutter.
The message should be instantly clear.

  • Tip: Use your brand colors for recognition.

Add a Clear, Clickable Title

Text on your pin helps Pinterest understand what your content is about.
Keep your title:

  • short

  • readable

  • benefit-focused

  • curiosity-driven

Examples:

  • “Canva Tutorial for Beginners”

  • “Digital Products You Can Sell Fast”

  • “Make Money on Pinterest in 2025”

Use Clean Images or Branded Graphics

Inside Canva, you can choose:

  • minimalist office photos

  • gradient backgrounds

  • mockups

  • your own avatar

  • branded templates

High-quality images = higher saves and clicks.

Apply Visual Hierarchy

Your pin must guide the viewer’s eye from top to bottom.

Structure suggestion:

  • Headline at the top

  • Graphic or image in the middle

  • Soft call to action

  • Website at the bottom

If you confuse the viewer, they scroll past.

Add a Soft Call to Action

Pinterest is inspiration-first, so avoid aggressive CTAs.

Use something simple like:

  • “Read the full guide”

  • “See the steps”

  • “Free tutorial inside”

Add Pinterest SEO When Uploading

Your Pinterest ranking depends on:

  • title

  • description

  • on-image text

  • filename
