Why I Am Writing This Post
I recently opened a Print On Demand Etsy store for my artwork! I REALLY think that every artist should have a store selling products with their artwork, but never fear, we are going to check out pin designs for vintage Etsy sellers and digital product sellers too!
I LOVE dinking around, finding out which pins Pinterest thinks are good for their users and I figured, why not take you along for the ride!

Okay, now we are going to start looking at how to find pin designs, make the pins on Canva and then upload them for future publication on Tailwind.
Researching Pinterest Pin Design
The very first thing we want to do is pop on over to Pinterest and see what the successful pin designs look like based on them ranking high in search.
