Is it suitable to start a business during the epidemic?

During the epidemic, starting a business depends on what industry you choose. Some industries are suitable for starting a business, and some industries are not suitable for starting a business.

This epidemic has had varying degrees of impact on various industries. When we choose to start a business at this time, it can be said that opportunities and risks coexist. So which industries are suitable for starting a business now and which are not? Let’s analyze it in detail:

1. The self-media industry is suitable for entrepreneurship during the epidemic. During the epidemic, people have a lot of free time to cook, cook, make pasta, educate children, exercise, write, etc. Make these life scenes into videos or write articles and upload them to self-media platforms. Not only can you share experience and fun, but you can also earn income.

Self-media entrepreneurship does not require investing too much money, renting a house, renovating a house, or going through various complicated business procedures. It only requires you to use your brain to create high-quality videos and articles. As long as you master the method and stick to it for a long time, you can still earn considerable income.

2. The telemedicine industry is suitable for starting a business now. During the epidemic, ordinary patients will inevitably have to queue for a long time when going to the hospital for medical treatment. Moreover, when going to the hospital for medical treatment, the risk of infection is also greater.

Online medical treatment makes up for this shortcoming. For general diseases, you only need to upload pictures and describe your condition, and the online doctor will diagnose you and issue a prescription. If necessary, video can also be enabled so that patients and doctors can communicate face-to-face through the Internet. The convenience, safety and speed of this kind of telemedicine greatly facilitate patients. Therefore, the market prospects will be promising.

In the telemedicine industry, if you choose to be an online doctor, it is the same as doing self-media, with less investment and you can start a business using your own professional skills. If you want to build a telemedicine platform, you need to be fully prepared and have long-term planning.

3. In the distance education and training industry, you can start a business during the epidemic period. During this period, schools have postponed their opening, and many schools have begun teaching and classes online. In addition, many training institutions have also launched online training to provide extracurricular training and tutoring for students and children who cannot go to school. These situations fully prove that the online education industry will usher in new development opportunities through this epidemic. Therefore, now is a good opportunity to start a business.

4. E-commerce industries such as online shopping and online grocery shopping continue to be favored, and you can start a business now. Everyone has already witnessed the convenience of online shopping, so I won’t go into details. During the COVID-19 epidemic, the online food shopping industry has developed vigorously. When it is inconvenient for everyone to go to the supermarket to buy food, you can just place an order on your mobile phone, and within a few hours, the various types of meat and vegetables you want will be delivered to you. The door makes you feel very convenient and safe. Now, this industry is the time to start a business.

5. Cutting-edge scientific fields such as biological genetic research and new drug research and development. An epidemic has made everyone in the world feel insecure and fearful. People are afraid of being infected and are eager to develop special drugs and vaccines to completely eliminate the threat of the virus to humans. In addition to the new coronavirus, cancer, AIDS, leukemia, diabetes, etc. are all diseases that currently cannot be cured by humans. To prevent these diseases from harming human beings, we must increase investment in the above-mentioned fields and industries. Moreover, through this epidemic, people have a deeper understanding of the importance and urgency of vigorously developing the above industries. These fields and industries will also usher in a new round of business opportunities.

But starting a business in this field requires certain resources, technology and funds. It may be difficult for ordinary people to get involved in this industry.

6. Cloud computing, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, new infrastructure and other industries can be deployed at this stage. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, the state had been vigorously supporting and promoting these industries. The outbreak of the epidemic has not had a great impact on such industries. After the epidemic is over, they may develop rapidly. Therefore, it is wise to carry out active entrepreneurial layout at present.

Of course, this field is more suitable for people and teams with a certain industry foundation to start a business.

7. Traditional industries that have been severely affected by the epidemic, such as catering, tourism, hotels, cinemas, and KTV, are currently not suitable for starting a business. Currently, these industries are at a trough, and it is difficult to accurately judge when the epidemic will end.

It follows that it is difficult for these industries to recover and rebound in a short period of time. If you rush to start a business in this field at this time, you are likely to be trapped.

In short, whether it is suitable to start a business during the epidemic depends on the industry first, your financial situation secondly, and whether you are ready. Once you have chosen an industry, made full preparations, and made up your mind, you can start a business during the epidemic.

It depends on what kind of business you are starting. According to my observation, there are also industries that have taken off due to the epidemic.

First, grocery shopping groups in various communities became popular, and then groups buying this and that became popular. One of the owner groups I belong to already has a bakery that has begun to expand production and operations due to a surge in orders.

I am a little curious about this phenomenon, because although we are all at home across the country, many e-commerce companies are still operating and takeout is still being delivered. In the past, you could buy it online. Why is it so popular now? Did you buy it here? One of my guesses is that the epidemic has made everyone trust products recommended by acquaintances (even just neighbors they have never met). This may be a microcosm of the acquaintance economy. Therefore, if you can use acquaintances for online marketing during the epidemic, you may be able to make a fortune.

Needless to say, this is a necessity. If you have production conditions and channels, you can keep it and do business. Be careful not to be too greedy.

Everyone is bored at home. Post more interesting and useful things to relieve boredom. When the traffic comes, the business will come.

Those who need traffic, those who need heavy assets, and those who are not experienced speculators must not end up randomly.

That’s it, thank you everyone.

In my opinion, the epidemic is suitable for entrepreneurship. Jack Ma’s team also founded Taobao in Sars, and that’s why Jack Ma is where he is today. It can be concluded that the epidemic is a good entrepreneurial opportunity.

First, the epidemic has led to the lack of capital chains or even closure of most industries.

In this epidemic, aviation, catering, tourism, entertainment and other industries have been hit hard to a large extent. Although industries such as healthcare and telecommuting began to rise during the epidemic, I believe this is temporary. After the epidemic is over, the industries that were hit hard before will surely rise slowly. Of course, competition is inevitable. But everyone is on the same starting line, and the market will usher in a new layout. If you seize this period of the epidemic to lay the foundation and make preparations, I believe there is still a chance of success.

Second, people have plenty of time

During the epidemic, people spent a lot of time on the Internet. People have a lot of time to spend on playing certain music, cooking, exercising, and studying. Entrepreneurs can organize these things into videos and send them online. In addition, self-media entrepreneurship does not require so much investment. It only requires entrepreneurs’ unique style and high-quality videos and articles. I believe that if you persist for a long time, you will be able to See improvement.

Third, more time is given to entrepreneurs

This epidemic can be said to have given most entrepreneurs the opportunity to improve their professional skills and learn from each other's strengths. In normal times, entrepreneurs may not have time to make up for their shortcomings due to trivial matters in life or business matters. And this epidemic just gave entrepreneurs an opportunity. Entrepreneurs can make reasonable use of this time. While competitors are using this time to enjoy themselves, those diligent entrepreneurs can just overtake them in corners. It will be a blockbuster when the epidemic is over.

Summary: Starting a business during the epidemic is a good choice. More ample time and more opportunities can help entrepreneurs get twice the result with half the effort. Now you can start to gradually consider or plan entrepreneurial projects.

I think it’s not a big problem at the moment.

During the epidemic, although some industries have been greatly affected, such as hotels, restaurants, tourism, entertainment and other industries, there are still some industries that have developed under the epidemic, such as medical and health, and online education. , telecommuting, etc. Therefore, if entrepreneurial projects can cater to the needs of the epidemic and start quickly, at this stage when the global epidemic is still developing, I believe it can bring optimistic benefits in the short term, but long-term development still needs to be considered.

Nowadays, various places are gradually resuming work and production. In some areas, restaurants, libraries, even bathing houses, Internet cafes and other relatively densely populated places have resumed business. Mayors and other leaders of some cities have taken the lead in going to restaurants. Methods such as eating and issuing consumption coupons to citizens can encourage the public to consume and promote the economy to return to normal as soon as possible. The next step will mainly depend on the prevention and control of overseas imported cases and whether there will be a cluster of epidemics in the full resumption of work and production. If the situation is ideal, I believe it will not take too long to restore consumer confidence, which is more optimistic than expected.

In general, at this point in the development of the epidemic, the country has basically been better controlled. If we only consider the epidemic and not other factors, I think we can start planning or gradually launch it. Entrepreneurship project.

Commentator Zhang Zhang:

Opportunities and challenges coexist!

There is a saying that "opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." There is also a saying: "When it comes to trends, pigs will fly." There is also a saying: "When the limelight passes, a lot of pigs died." It depends on whether you are "Jack Ma" or the pig that died behind.

During the epidemic, various industries were damaged, and offline industries such as hotels, catering, tourism, and entertainment were severely affected. At this moment, e-commerce, online education platforms and various online platforms such as games, medical and health care, online education, and telecommuting have come to life.

If you have the ability, you should seize a good opportunity when you encounter it. Generally, people who start a business are either very good at a certain field, or like a certain field very much, or have a very strong The success of grassroots entrepreneurship relies not only on persistence but also on personal connections and experience in a certain industry. If you are just a novice and don’t have an entrepreneurial spirit of your own, it is still recommended to focus on cultivating yourself first. The cost of trouble is too expensive. If the poster has abundant resources, it doesn't matter.

There is no time limit for starting a business. As long as you feel you are ready in all aspects and it does not affect your family’s future life, just do it! At any time when starting a business, there are successes and failures. You can handle your own failure without affecting others! This is the bottom line

Whether it is suitable to start a business during the epidemic cannot be generalized, because wealth has always been there, but it is constantly transferring. During the epidemic, most of what I heard was that all walks of life were affected. Devastating blows, etc., but there are also many industries that will benefit, such as gaming companies, online office software companies, online classes, medical equipment industries such as masks and protective clothing, disinfection supplies and chemical industries, etc. If you have the ability and channels to do those related to the epidemic If you start a business with related expenses, there will be a lot of room for development.

It is not recommended to invest in industries such as catering, tourism, transportation, education, and beauty that have been greatly affected during the epidemic, because although the domestic epidemic is currently under control, major outbreaks have begun abroad, and foreign imports There are more and more situations in the country, and people's sense of crisis will not be lifted for a while. At the same time, it will be difficult to recover for a period of time after the world epidemic is controlled. However, after the epidemic is completely over, I think not only can it be possible, but there will be great opportunities in these fields. , because the epidemic will bring down a large number of companies after such a long period of time, the pressure of competition will become smaller, and it will be easier to recruit workers. At the same time, in addition to a large number of preferential support policies from the state, entrepreneurs will not only escape the disaster at this time, but also enjoy major preferential treatment after the disaster. policy.

All in all, when starting a business, you must follow the trend and find an area where industry policies are good, competition is small, and where you are good at it.

Domestically, the epidemic was most serious in February, when businesses across the country were closed. March was the outbreak period of the foreign epidemic. For example, in Italy, the confirmed death toll is as high as 6,077. The Italian Prime Minister announced that due to the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic, non-essential production activities across the country will be suspended. At this time, foreign countries love Made in china even more

Recently, the Ministry of Commerce stated that it will make great efforts to accurately implement support policies to help enterprises stabilize the international market, focusing on the following aspects: First, give full play to Bilateral economic and trade cooperation mechanisms function to create a good international trade environment. Give full play to the advantages of new trade formats and models such as cross-border e-commerce and market procurement.

In March, cross-border e-commerce broke out in full force. Our company’s 6 years of cross-border e-commerce experience is now responding to the national call to help partners who want to start a business.

Starting a business, it seems It became a "fashionable word after the 90s grew up."

From my extreme point of view: the growth process of 90 years old has been accompanied by "social prosperity" since childhood. "Entrepreneurship"...

For example, in this question, I can't even figure out what circumstances, opportunities, and conditions are suitable for starting a business, and I also want to "take the opportunity to start another business"!

Could it be that starting a business is just for “being a boss” so that others can call you that in the future?

I am sure that no one who has a little bit of "self-reliance process/history" will ask this question!

Now that I’m done complaining, let’s briefly talk about my views.

Among the migrant workers, there are some with an annual income of over 10 million. Although they are few, there are definitely some, but these people are not bosses and have no history of starting their own business!

For example, I know some senior executives of listed private companies...

These individual people are all based on "each has a strong level/skills/recognition in a field." On the basis of knowledge, after uniting capable people to report to the group, we will work around this goal all our lives and finally achieve the goal.

Then, there are even more people with lower incomes, working people, with an annual income of hundreds of thousands or millions...

Why must you start a business?

So, get to know yourself first!

What do you want to do?

What can you do?

What are your advantages over others?

What can you bear that others cannot?

…

Think about these things clearly before deciding whether to start your own business.

During the epidemic, there will definitely be "business to do".

As long as you don’t cheat or make money out of your heart, what’s wrong?

For example, if you launch online education that no one else can handle, it will be loved by people all over the world...

What's wrong?

For example, if you have the ability to launch an extremely convenient food that everyone is willing to buy in the "related projects" of epidemic prevention, control and treatment, why not?

…

The question is, what can you create?

I won’t say it anymore. Talking too much will easily produce “angry youth” bacteria in your body, which is bad for your health.

All in all, "doing the right thing at the right time" is an unshakable principle.

Whether it is an epidemic or other disasters, as long as you operate in accordance with the law and abide by ethics, there is no such thing as What's not allowed!

Of course, pragmatic! It is the basis of everything.

Otherwise, don’t give up when you encounter failure when you don’t have the ability to bear it!

Previous epidemics have disrupted the social and economic order and set up various obstacles for the already sluggish Chinese economy. People's work and production cannot operate normally, and their living standards have reached the edge of being stretched.

Today, the epidemic continues to spread around the world, posing a great threat to human living space. Humanity is facing a major test of life and death. It can be said that 2020 is a year of disaster for mankind. Under the influence of this general environment, China's foreign trade export business volume will show a downward trend, its ability to generate foreign exchange is obviously insufficient, and domestic consumption levels will also decrease rather than increase compared with previous years, and consumption cannot keep up. , business will be difficult to do, and corporate products will be unsalable. Due to these uncertain factors, there are greater risks in starting a business during the epidemic. You should wait patiently and slowly look for opportunities to ensure the success of your business.

At present, traditional industries are saturated with business, competition is extremely fierce, and living space is extremely compressed. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are facing collapse.

In the future, entrepreneurship should develop in the direction of technology, electronics, and intelligence. Learn a skill. No matter which aspect you learn well, learn deeply, or learn thoroughly, and have certain attainments, this is a long-term solution, and you can survive in the wave of business for all. Not eliminated.
