From the two clues that have been determined by , I conclude a title "The big impact of the pandemic on my online business"
I am sure, we all know about a virus that is attacking the world. This virus brings many bad effects for all of us. There are many bad influences that we experience such as:
- The declining world economy.
- Many people got sick and died.
- Limited activities.
- Unable to gather with friends and family.
- In fact, going shopping at the nearest market and mall has become difficult because of this virus.
In my family, I am the first child. I have to help my parents to earning money, because we are a low-income family. I thought, if I don't work and earn money, then we will starve because we can't buy basic needs such as rice, fish and vegetables to eat. Especially in the midst of this pandemic which makes it increasingly difficult to find jobs.
One day I was watching the news on TV. The Indonesian government states and prohibits people from leaving the house if there is no important business. We are prohibited from shopping in markets and malls because that could spread the virus further due to the gathering of people.
The Indonesian government also recommends online shopping if you want to buy home needs. There are many basic ingredients such as cooking oil, rice, bath soap, laundry soap and other ingredients that are sold in the market place.
- My online shopping and my online business.
After I heard the news from the Indonesian government, I started to try shopping online, there are many things that can be bought there. That's when I started to have the idea to try selling online to get money. I asked my friends who have started selling online. They said that selling online has great potential to earn money, just by posting product photos and then promoting them through several social media such as Facebook, Whatsapp, and Instagram. In fact, I can also sell through the marketplace in Indonesia.

Now that I'm starting to earn money from the business I run, I'm starting to sell Skin Care products from JOAR. There are many products that I can sell such as facial soaps, serums, toners, and creams made by the company.
My advice to all women reading this. Try selling online, there are many products that you can sell such as clothes, shoes, bags, perfumes. Maybe this can help you to earn money. Don't be shy about promoting your product to friends. Because you have a family to help. Make them proud of your hard work and efforts. Thank you :)
