Oddly enough, the impact of COVID 19 meant downsizing my face-to-face business and starting an online business using Facebook as the platform. I am a third-generation business owner. I fell into a business over 30 years ago when it was more accessible, as a solo parent, to run a business than work for someone in a 9 - 5 job. It turns out the process of building a face-to-face business is the same as online. “All” I needed to do was come to terms with algorithms, clarify who my ideal client was and develop subtly different operating procedures. Since deciding to work this way in October 2020, my online skills have increased dramatically. I have lots of helpful hints and tips which can get you started as a newbie on Facebook or enhance your current presence if that is what you would like to do. Then the possibility of building an online business is also there if that interests you.
