A Fun New Way To Promote TCC

Looking for a dynamic way to introduce T’ai Chi Chih to students, friends, family and beyond? Looking for inspiration? Good Karma Publishing and The Vital Force are supporting these goals with a new Pinterest page open to the public.

At www.pinterest.com/taichichih you’ll find beautiful photos with text organized into “boards” covering several topics: TCC movements, health benefits of TCC, news articles about TCC, quotes from Justin, and more.

What’s Pinterest? It’s a social media website where users can post photos, accompanied by brief text, of things they care about. Users are primarily women ages 25 to 44, a key audience for TCC. Anyone can easily open a new Pinterest account using just an email address, and it’s entirely free. Once you do, you’ll have full access to TCC’s page.

Why Pinterest? It’s a great way to disseminate info about TCC. It’s a fun and effective way to interest people who haven’t heard about TCC before, as well as those who have. Because Pinterest is primarily visual, encouraging the use of engaging photos and art, it appeals to people in a different way than, say, an all-print news article.

The individual “pins” or posts on TCC’s Pinterest page look like cards, which you can forward to anyone’s email address, your Facebook page, your Twitter stream, your own Pinterest page and more. You also can create your own pins, on your page, and then share them on TCC’s Pinterest page. Info about TCC has never been more shareable! Also, when you click on TCC photos on our Pinterest page, you’ll be transported to TCC’s Flickr page, where you can view hundreds of TCC photos from conferences, trainings and practices.

Pinterest.com is a very popular place. Its 70 million users log 2.5 billion page views per month. Some 80% of the pins are shares from others’ Pinterest pages, and users spend an average of 98 minutes on the site monthly.

Ready for more inspiration? Good Karma Publishing is pleased to introduce beautiful new photo cards (pins) on the Inspiration board on TCC’s Pinterest page. Quotes by Justin Stone are featured along with elegant photos. This is a novel way to spread the TCC message around the world.
