Sign of the Times

Three historic companies that usually sell products via regular stores and supermarkets:

• Coca-Cola – founded 1886
• Heinz – founded 1869
• PepsiCo – founded 1902

But now, due to coronavirus, all three are selling direct to consumer via the internet.

No coincidence that ecommerce platform Shopify is booming right now 📈 Even famous brands like Heinz and Heineken using it for their online stores.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record: ecommerce is a good place to be looking these days if your goal is to make money online. Not so much by starting your own store, but by providing services to people already building and running online stores. Think copywriting, ads management, web design, email marketing, etc.
