Social Networking

 Social networking has been an important platform for both businesses and individuals in general. Social networking is the manner in which individuals are able to sell their products to a vast range of people. Promoting these channels has become more common as a result of the influence it has had. For example, we see several companies funding influencers' content in return for marketing their product.
