are collections of images found online through other website, blogs, and so on. Anything

Established in December 2009 by Ben Silbermann.

Users of Pinterest tend to be between the ages of 25 and 44. They tend to be
family oriented women, women who have kids, or manage a household. This is a
close match for our demographic of females between the ages of 30 and 40
returning to school after 10 years in the business world. They may be mothers
and/ or wives.

16. How to use Pinterest to promote the
Full Sail Internet Marketing Degree Program
Full Sail Internet Marketing Degree Program
We know that word-of-mouth is the most economical method of promotion.
Pinterest is well-suited for the target audience by the the use of visuals.
By using carefully chosen images of the FSO IMBS program, the target
audience will click on the images which will drive traffic to the FOS IMBS
website link.
17. Some examples of potential images to use for promotion
some keywords
to use as well
18. To attract prospects to the FSO IMBS website clickable links should be
created on our pins that direct to our website.
The Pinterest website will act as a map or sign directing potential customers
to the FSO IMBS link.
Conclusion
When visitors arrive at the site, we must engage the prospects with more
visually alluring images and dynamic content .
Pinterest is a practical and affordable option that when properly executed can
produce an impressive ROI. Pinterest can send massive amounts of traffic.
Facebook, blog, and twitter users can send additional traffic to our boards as
well.
19. Why Blogs?
Women who are on the Internet, and are over 30, spend the majority of their time
networking. Much of this networking is on blogs that are of interest of them.
Women who are starting businesses, or have interests in careers online like to
connect with other women who write these blogs and have connections.
Blogs tend to have large followings and bring to them a sense of community that
is the basis, and central communication spot, even before places like Twitter and
Facebook.
Blogs are where things are shared first and foremost, before anywhere else.
21. How The IMBS Program Can Market
Through Blogs
Starting a Full Sail “Where Are They Now” type blog could really boost the
enrollment numbers in the IMBS department. Featuring an alumni in an interview
type post, asking questions like how were classes, what are they doing now with
their degree, what new opportunities have opened up, etc, would be appealing to
a Woman over 30 exploring her options online.
Using Ads that can be displayed on a blog or a website’s side bar that women are
already on, can really produce the numbers that Full Sail would be looking for.
Showing Ads with women going back to school, learning, juggling a laptop and a
career, or juggling a laptop and a family, would really create a picture of the future
the potential student could have.
22. Conclusion
Women who are already trying to find ways to market their business online, are
spending time blogging. Reaching out to them directly online can give them a chance
to check out the program in a field they are already immersed in.
Marketing on blogs means that you would have people enrolled in an Internet
Marketing program that already find it fascinating and part of their daily lives.
Showing visuals of real women, and learning more about real women who also
completed the program and are now on the right path doing what they love, is a a
great way to showcase the programs strengths and highlights.
Blogs spread like wildfire. With one ad and one persons story being told, the trend can
catch on and the Internet Marketing program will be shared with all their blogging
friends.
