📱 Best Platforms
Fiverr (dedicated Pinterest design category with bloggers regularly searching), Upwork (long-term pin designer retainer roles from established bloggers), Facebook groups for bloggers (bloggers in 'Blogging Boost' type groups frequently ask for VA and pin designer recommendations).
📖 The Hustle
Food bloggers, travel bloggers, and Etsy sellers need 10-30 fresh Pinterest pins per month to drive traffic. Each blog post needs 3-5 pin variations with different headlines and layouts. You design vertical pins (1000x1500px) with clear text overlays, on-brand colors, and click-worthy titles. Bloggers pay $50-150/month for a batch of 20-30 pins.
🚀 First Step
Create 3 Pinterest pins for a popular blog post you find online, following the 2:3 vertical ratio rule, as your sample set.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Use the 1000x1500 pixel ratio always — Pinterest algorithm penalizes non-vertical pins and they get shown to fewer people.
- Design 3-5 pin templates per client so they can rotate designs — variety keeps their Pinterest profile looking active and fresh.
- Include the blog post title prominently on each pin in a large readable font — most Pinterest browsing happens on phones.
