In order to market well on Pinterest you’ll need a few basic elements in place:

Quality Pinterest Images — the basic size is 600×900 or 600×1260. Clear photos, bright colors and simple text overlay win every time. Use tools like Canva, PicMonkey, and Photoshop to create images with text overlay.
Keywords — If you don’t have keywords in your pin descriptions, then your pins can’t be found by those searching on Pinterest. Keywords help searchers find your content. Here’s our complete guide to keywording on Pinterest.
