Using Knowledge Transfer In Blogging

Knowledge transfer is just what it sounds like, it’s transferring knowledge from one person to another.

People check in to their favorite places, share instant reviews of the things they like and don’t like, and make videos and photos go viral.

Use social media for all of these things. Share contests and product coupons to catch people’s interest. It’s a great way to gain trust, and it’s also one of the best ways to get your brand known.
