You can also purchase stock photos from many websites like Fotolia or Adobe.
Make your images stand out from the crowd
You’re aware the key to succeeding in Pinterest is using high-quality images that make your audience go ooh and aah.
You want images that grab people’s attention. Images that quite literally invite people to take a closer look and click on the pin so they can view a larger version.
Consider using custom graphics
Custom graphics like infographics work really well on Pinterest.
If you do try this technique, you may need to shell out some money to hire a graphic designer, if you’re not much of a designer yourself.
