Once you’ve logged in to your Canva account, click on the search bar up top
and search for 'Pinterest pin'. We'll be creating a Pinterest pin that is 1000x1500 pixels,
so once that option populates, click on it.
Canva has a number of Pinterest pin templates that you can choose from
to do Pinterest affiliate marketing, or you can click on 'create a blank Pinterest pin'
up top to start your Canva Pinterest pin design for affiliate marketing from scratch.
You can even filter the Pinterest pin templates by format, style, theme and color.
These are all image Pinterest pin templates, but you can also create video Pinterest pins or
carousel Pinterest pins instead to make money on Pinterest with affiliate marketing.

click on it to edit it. Now you can go ahead and customize your Pinterest pin
to look the way you wish so that it can be used for Pinterest affiliate marketing.
Just like with any Canva template, you can click on any of the existing elements on
your Pinterest pin, and then on the options that appear on the panel up top to edit them.
For instance, let's change the background colors to red and white, by clicking on
the color picker from the white panel up top, and then selecting the colors of our choice.
Let's also change the color of the elements to red, purple and yellow, by again, clicking on
the color picker from the white panel up top, and then selecting the colors of our choice.
Now let's delete this laptop image,
and add an image to the Pinterest affiliate marketing program we're promoting instead
by clicking on 'uploads' from the left-hand side panel,
and choosing an image from our uploads folder.
Lastly, let's change the text so that they relate to the Pinterest affiliate marketing
program we're promoting, as well as change their font, size and color,
by clicking on each of these options from the white panel up top.

and then click on the downward pointing arrow. Feel free to save your Pinterest pin as a PNG
high quality image or as a JPG small file size image, I'll select PNG high quality image,
and then click on the download button to save your Pinterest pin to your computer.

pin description and pin URL. Make sure that the pin URL you add is your affiliate link.
