Covid-19 Coronavirus is now with us. Unprecedented measures have paralysed the entire world and the global economy. Planet Earth did not give upIvka, Earth gave us a red card - time will tell when and how many of us will be back in the game. The truth is that once this epidemic is over, nothing will be as it was before. Whether we will draw the right conclusions and manage to preserve what is left of our way of life and rethink the mistakes we have made so far depends only on us.
Despite the measures that governments around the world will take, many people and many businesses will be out of work and will go bankrupt because of the inevitable social isolation and physical distancing that MUST to impose ourselves on everyone. Some will have no choice.
But, unlike other similar pandemics, such as the Spanish flu of 1918, we have one advantage - INTERNET - online space is still immune to physical viruses and at this moment it is our only channel of escape from social and economic isolation. Every business can and should have an online face - through social networks, video channels and especially through own website.
Shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, shopping centers, cinemas, bookstores - all retail outlets except food supermarkets, pharmacies, gas stations and financial institutions will be closed for... an unknown period of time.
Countries and governments will take certain measures to compensate businesses, each according to their means, but let us also see for ourselves what the opportunities are before us:
- Any outlet from the neighbourhood grocer to the hypermarket can organise online sales and orders through their own website - online shop, an online ordering system or just a phone but with the ability for people to find it on the internet. Yes, instead of hanging a saleswoman at the counter you will need to appoint a delivery person with a car or use delivery services - those believe me will arise very quickly. All payments would do well to be done NON-NATURALLY, via debit and credit cards - you pay, they deliver your order to your doorstep, WITHOUT live contact between supplier and customer, or at least keeping a distance of 3-4 metres
- Not a fan of Facebook - make your own local social network, or maybe not so local. It's not hard, there are ready-made software solutions on the matter;
- Are you a fitness instructor, psychotherapist /there will be a great need for those/ or, yoga instructor, kinesiotherapist - anything that can be streamed online - use it. The safest way is through your own, proprietary website - that's the easiest way to generate real revenue with minimal cost and risk to your own health and the health of your clients.
The possibilities for online business are almost limitless. As I said there are many free software with the help of which and without being programmers we can make a website in a few hours. But if you want to start making money as soon as possible from your website, trust the professionals. An investment in professionally made и optimised website will pay you back many times over, long after the Coronavirus crisis is over.
