How to Build A Marketing Community (Without Spam Or Pyramid Schemes)

There’s nothing wrong with setting up a community and making money from it, but it should never be built with that at the forefront, otherwise, you run the risk of it becoming a cesspit of spam, pyramid schemes, and affiliates. A community is in no way a sales funnel – it’s a place for people to connect, talk, and network.Today, we’re joined by Lottie Unwin, Founder of Up World & Brand Hackers, to discuss why she set up her community, how marketing has impacted her life, and the lessons she’s learned from her extensive career in the industry.
