Like snowball sampling, network sampling utilizes a "word of mouth" approach of acquiring participants. Those who are originally recruited suggest further participants. This method allows researchers to access populations that are not easily identifiable, are small in number, private, poorly organized or socially marginalized. Examples of such populations would be sexual minorities, drug users, etc.
The advantage of network sampling is that these hard-to-reach populations are penetrated and recruitment is fairly convenient and inexpensive for the researcher. Most research methods experts find that network sampling is just as effective as other, more random methods and rarely leads to validity or reliability errors.

Which one is called non probability sampling a. cluster sampling b.quota sampling c. systematic sampling d. stratified sampling?
Answer is Quota sampling. Its one of the method of non-probability sampling.
Define the four different sampling techniques?
1) Simple random sampling 2) Systematic sampling 3) Stratified sampling 4) Cluster sampling 5) Probability proportional to size sampling 6) Matched random sampling 7) Quota sampling 8) Convenience sampling 9) Line-intercept sampling 10) Panel sampling
What is the difference between quota sampling and cluster sampling?
What is the difference between quota sampling and cluster sampling
What is the difference between Sampling error vs sampling bias?
Sampling error leads to random error. Sampling bias leads to systematic error.
What is the difference between flat top sampling and natural sampling?
in flat top sampling the electronic circuit required for sampling are less complicated as compared to the one used in natural sampling, at demodulation of the sample it is very difficult to maintain the natural waveform of the natural sampling so flat top sampling can easily be demodulated.
