Pinterest is a social media site that enables users to create online pinboards of compelling images they find online by "pinning" the images and curating them into various categories. It has exploded into American consciousness with big media attention and exponential growth-most notably reaching 10 million unique monthly visitors more quickly than any social media site in history. The vast majority of early devotees have been women of higher income between the ages of 25 and 49, and the images they pin frequently fall into the categories of clothing, crafts, food, and home décor. This represents a significant opportunity for companies and brands whose products are targeted to this market; however, Pinterest has value far beyond its initial popular use. Companies large and small are hearing the hype and hoping to get an early start with a site that shows signs of continued growth and influence. The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Pinterest Marketing helps small business owners as well as marketing experts at larger companies get on the Pinterest bandwagon and learn how to use this exciting new phenomenon to increase online exposure for their products, strengthen their online presence, and connect with customers in a place where they are now flocking.

In this ebook, we discuss how to effectively use social media channels to promote your book and your brand. Twitter, for example, is the largest social bookmarking site on the Internet today, with over 500 million users in 2012. It enables users to read and reply to short text-based messages (‘tweets’), and helps users generate a following. When linked to other social media channels, such as Pinterest, for example, it can be a useful promotional tool for your book. Likewise, we explain how social cataloguing websites like Shelfari, with its book clubs and forums, and Goodreads, which allows users to rate and review books, can help you and your book to reach its intended market.

Is Pinterest the New Google? Google is a search engine. That means whatever you’re looking for, you can Google it. From obscure song lyrics to ‘how to hem pants’ you can Google a term or phrase and find videos, images, and links to relative content. Sort of like Google, Pinterest is a visual search engine. Pinterest uses a visual platform of images that stand alone as content but also link to resources for deeper and richer information and engagement. Like Google, you can use key words and phrases to search for relative content. Even better than Google, you can save your links or pins to boards which are a helpful way to organize content. Googling a word or phrase can generate the top ten or so articles, images, and other content relative to that search. Many of the results are paid ads which rank higher than organic content. Pinterest; however, can generate many more results from a search and each and every image offered can lead to a deeper dive experience about a subject or related topic. In this way, Pinterest may be better than Google for specific searches. Can Pinterest be Used for Business? When it comes to certain topics like recipes, DIY, and business topics, Pinterest can be a gold mine. As a user, Pinterest is an excellent way to find relative content quickly and save it for use down the line. If you’re a content creator, Pinterest is an excellent way to showcase your goods and services and attract customers easier and more effectively than you might have exclusively with Google. It’s also superior to social media platforms like Instagram that don’t allow links on posts. Pinterest is actually one of the largest drivers of traffic to websites in the world. Many people think Pinterest is used mainly by women or worry their target audience isn’t using the social media platform. Both are false, Pinterest demographics include all genders and ages and Pinterest has been found to be more effective at leading people to content than other platforms like Twitter. Optimizing your Website and Your Pinterest Account Makes Sense Everyone knows website optimization is vital to being discovered on the web. It doesn’t make sense to invest resources in blogging or creating content if it’s lost in the ether. Most people take steps to optimize their sites for SEO or search engine optimization, to increase the likelihood their content is found. It’s the same with Pinterest. You can take simple steps to create images, descriptions, and links to your content so they land in front of more people and pop up under relavant searches. It makes sense to use Pinterest for business as there is limitless potential to convert more browsers to buyers, engage more customers, and promote your business with people looking for what you have to offer.

Digital Pharma Marketing Playbook is a first-of-its-kind-of book. It is the first and only book that presents 101 cases in digital pharma marketing. These cases show how some of the leading pharmaceutical companies across the world have used digital and social media channels. They are also excellent learning opportunities to all pharma marketing and brand managers, and students of pharmaceutical marketing. Digital transformation is sweeping the world around us. Everything these days has become digital. The ever-increasing rate of adoption of wearable devices and the advent of the internet of things are digitizing more and more of our experience. At the same time, healthcare in general, and the pharmaceutical industry, in particular, have been lagging in adapting to a digital strategy. It is not that the pharma is new to multichannel marketing. The pharmaceutical industry traditionally has been following a multichannel marketing strategy, where most of the channels have been static rather than dynamic. The number of channels has increased significantly due to the internet explosion. Pharma is moving to a multi-stakeholder world, a world in which stakeholders beyond the prescriber are gaining importance. These new influencer groups such as patients, nurses, payers, and regulators are increasingly turning to digital channels for their information needs regarding healthcare. Digital, therefore, plays a vital role in reaching these new audiences. If you want to maximize the impact of your marketing communications, can you afford to ignore the channels that your stakeholders are frequently using? Of course, not. Therefore, the question is not, to digitize or not to digitize, but how soon and how effectively? Why a Digital Pharma Marketing Playbook? Because, a playbook is a one-stop-read or single-source resource for all the essential information that you need on a given sport — in our case, Digital Pharma Marketing. If you can make work more fun and enjoyable it is play! Moreover, when work becomes play, there are no goals that you cannot score!Contents: 1. Challenging Times! Changing Rules! 2.
