If there is any hope of individual entrepreneurs making an honest living in this new era, they need:
1. TO SELL THEIR GOODS AND SERVICES ONLINE
Any other suggestions?
And people here in our country are actually doing this, they are selling online to those who lived in their area via facebook group or page and they offer free delivery because not all people can go out to transact because of the quarantine, so far I have seen a lot of success story by online entrepreneur it's a win win situation between sellers and those who are in quarantine.
I don't know what your country is, mate, but that's also the case in our country (I'm from Philippines, btw).
A lot of people I know became businessmen during this time of pandemic. They made use of the social media, Facebook primarily, to conduct their businesses. From food to clothing to cosmetics to other essential needs, to services like digital art, all were sold and offered online.
Another trend right now is the "barter"— the trading of goods. Like for example, I have a bag that I'm not using anymore, I could trade it for vegetables. Something like that, depending on the deal of the traders.
With this, I must say that people will do anything to survive. And this pandemic allowed us to showcase our talents and skills that can help others and also ourselves.
