Go online
So thanks for the Coronavirus, everybody’s talking about going online. Well, if they didn’t talk about it for a decade already, now they’re starting to talk about it. And I want to share with you my personal opinion and how you can take a huge opportunity out of this Coronavirus situation, if you are going to use this online offline opportunity that I’m going to show you today.
Well, what’s going to happen right now, has already happened during the last decade, and is that more and more people are using more and more services and spending more and more time online. And this crisis is going to even accelerate this idea. They are going to even accelerate the progression we’re already in regarding moving to our online things. But what’s also happening during this entire decade and especially in the last couple of years is that people want to have the offline experience.
People want to feel things with their hands. People want to see people face to face. And as the more people go online and the more time they spend online and the more services they buy online, they feel even more the need to have this offline experience. And this is the reason so many people are still buying paper books, because they want to have the experience. This is why people are still going to offline classes and courses even though they’re more expensive, because they want to have the experience. This is why so many people are waiting for restaurants and bars and stuff like that, because they want to have the experience.
Online vs offline business
So if your business is mainly online or mainly offline, it doesn’t even matter.

Maybe it is true. Maybe if you could make your product online, maybe it’s a good idea. But huge companies are building amazing online products.

So you can do it, take over this huge opportunity and simply use this time to give online. People will remember it for you.
