Online Business

This pandemic is making our lives difficult/challenging, indeed. People are losing their jobs as more and more businesses are shutting down. To be honest, my work is quite affected as well as the number of tasks has significantly reduced. I am thinking of starting an online business, but I don’t know what products to sell yet. I have an e-commerce website. However, I need to know first how to run Facebook ads to reach my target audience. Have you ever thought of selling online, too, or starting your own business during this Covid-19 crisis?

I'm doing my online business with Facebook as well. Just start posting with groups. That's very effective.

It's definitely not an easy time for anyone. I am working a few things myself. It is taking time, but I am doing what I can. At least my husband is still able to work and it hasn't affected him too much.

@freelancermariagrace I think a lot of people have been out of work as well. Either becoming unemployed or on employment insurance.

Yes, that's a good idea. However, I need to find a legit supplier first.

Make sure the business does not drain the pocket. It has to bring in money rather than taking it away.
