Network marketing is a popular way to run your own business, especially if you want to work from home.
Investopedia defines it like this: “a business model that depends on person-to-person sales by independent representatives, often working from home. A network marketing business may require you to build a network of business partners or salespeople to assist with lead generation and closing sales.”
Like all business models, it takes time to build up the knowledge, skills and experience to become an expert at network marketing. Here, we’ve found 13 marketers who have embraced podcasting as a way to help others learn the business.
So, if you’re a network marketer wanting to learn or a business looking to advertise to a network marketing audience, use our Rephonic insights to check the podcasts below and discover which might work the best for you.
