Hey there.
Welcome to Yes To Tech, where we empower non-techie online entrepreneurs like you to maximize
your online presence.
First of all, if you don’t know how to add a branded transparent overlay to your Pinterest
pins, which we’ll be using in this video, make sure to watch my video on how to create
a branded transparent overlay on an image.
The link to it is in the description box below.
We’ll be using Canva to make Pinterest pins that go viral, so if you don’t have an account
with Canva yet, click the link below this video to create one - it’s 100% free, so
you have nothing to lose.
To create Pinterest pins that go viral using Canva, go to canva.com, login to your account,
click on ‘create a design’ in the top, left-hand side corner, and then click on ‘use
custom dimensions’ in the top, right-hand side corner.
Set the custom dimensions to 564px by 922px, and press ‘design’.
The first thing we’ll do is upload the image we added a branded transparent overlay to.
To do so, click on ‘uploads’, ‘upload your own images’, select the image with
the branded transparent overlay, and then press open.
Once it has been uploaded, drag and drop it onto your design space.
You may need to resize and recenter it.
Okay, so now let’s add our text, so that it relates to the topic of our blog post.
To do so, click on text on the left-hand side panel, and choose the ‘graphic design’
pre-set text template.
Centralize it on the page.
We’ll customize it to fit in with our brand.
I’ll change this top line so that it says ‘how to create a’, change the font to
‘raleway’, size to ‘36’, change the color to one of my brand’s colors, so ‘fcb900’,
make it bold, centralized, and all caps, and edit the spacing so that the letter spacing
is 110, and the line height is 1.
In this second section, I’ll change the text so that it says ‘logo for free’,
change the font to ‘raleway heavy’, size to ‘120’, change the color to white, make
it bold and all caps, and edit the spacing so that the letter spacing is 0.
In this third section, I’ll change the text so that it says ‘even if you don’t know
anything about design’, change the font to ‘raleway’, size to ‘28’, change
the color to one of my brand’s colors, so ‘2e333b’, make it bold, centralized, and
all caps, and edit the spacing so that the line height is 110, and the line height is
1.
I’ll also go ahead and delete this fourth section by selecting it, clicking on the trash
can on the top, right-hand corner, and clicking on ‘delete element’.
Now let’s add another line of text which includes our domain.
Under the same text menu, click on ‘add subheading’, edit it so that it’s your
domain, in my case www.yestotech.com, and change the font to ‘raleway, size to ‘21’,
change the color to white, make it centralized and all caps.
Make sure that that’s centralized as well.
Lastly, let’s add our logo to the top of the pin.
Under uploads on the left-hand side panel, click on ‘upload your own images’, select
your logo, and then press open.
Now drag and drop it onto your design so that it’s centralized and above the text group.
Once you’re happy with how your Pinterest pin looks, all you have to do is rename it
up top, right next to the share button, and click on download to save it to your computer.
Here’s a pro tip: keep this Pinterest pin that you just created as a template.
This will save you a ton of time, since the next time you want to create a Pinterest pin
that goes viral, all you have to do is copy it, and change the elements so that it fits
in with your new blog post topic.
​​And that’s it!
