If you’re anything like me, you are always looking for ways to help your insurance agency prosper and grow. Although, many insurance agencies lack a voice on a multitude of social networks. Plus, with a vast amount of different answers out there it can be hard to pinpoint what works and what doesn’t; sometimes it can also be challenging to figure out what networks may work for a particular marketing strategy. Therefore, it’s understandable that some people think that integrating social media into their business can be intimidating.

However, there’s nothing better than tapping into the power of experts who have already tasked the trials and errors of the digital marketing world. In fact, podcasts are a great way to obtain resourceful information about a new step into social media for business.

Moreover, many podcasts are readily available to be streamed through mobile apps such as, iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, and SoundCloud. This makes a vast majority of these podcasts easy to integrate into the morning commute or when you’re on the go. In fact, starting each day by listening to a well-informed podcast will not only make you more productive in the workforce, but will also help you think outside of the box. So, how can you enable a little more creativity into your marketing strategies?
