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.
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.
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.
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”

If you confuse the viewer, they scroll past.
Pinterest is inspiration-first, so avoid aggressive CTAs.
Use something simple like:
“Read the full guide”
