You Have A Coach For What!?
This afternoon I was testing some software. I like software that is able to go to large pools of people and segment them. This new software can dig right into Pinterest.
After a few preliminary searches – I asked it to see how many people it could find on Pinterest who have the word “Coach”in their user name. The coaching world has been growing faster than mushrooms in 4 day old cow dung over the last 5 years, but I was still amazed at the range.
Here are just a few of the general categories uncovered in the first 1,000 people with “coach” in them.
