There are many women in Sri Lanka who do not earn a job or
any other income. One of the problems for all those women is the economic hardship.
It is a lot of pressure to ask her husband or her parents for all their needs.
Therefore, women are willing to do anything to earn some
economic independence. Some time ago, the NGOs and the government intervened to
help women start self-employment ventures or individual businesses.
Under the current government-run Enterprise Sri Lanka
program, such women are given a loan at a concessionary interest rate. You can
find out more about this in the newspapers or in your local Economic
Development Officer. We are trying to tell you how to get a loan or start a
small job with a small amount of money.
Imagine that you can sew, or create clothes, wallpaper,
artwork. You can easily get started. Perhaps you already know this. Even if you
know, you can stop thinking about it.
f the product you can do is one of the things we mentioned
before, try a little more and increase the value of that product. For example,
let's say you can make a beautiful wall decoration. When you see a person who
has put in a little more effort to improve the quality of it, you can fall in
love with it, buy it, and start selling your product to the level you can hang
it on your wall.
Now you will come. "Who makes our houses? Who would buy
them? Someone who knows the people on our side would not like to build. As
people in Sri Lanka we know about it. Okay, so we're selling your products to
people who don't know you or who don't. How so?
f you are already using Facebook, help someone, or find a
Facebook page for yourself and post some beautiful and interesting photos of
some of your products. Put in a phone number that you can contact. If possible,
use a SIM instead of a personal phone number.
Make a Channel on Youtube and post a short video on how to
create your product on your mobile phone. Then wait and see if you get an
order. It will take some time. Because your Facebook page, Youtube channel, is
going to become famous.
In the meantime you can spend a small amount and post a
little ad on a website. This advertisement has been going on for about two
months with all your details and photos of the product. This is a very
effective method. You can create your own account on this website and post your
product this way.
With these few methods, you can definitely get a few orders.
Okay, now that you're in Kandy, you're getting an order from Galle. God, what
do you do now? Go to the post office and find out the cost and the cost of
sending parcels according to each district.
I also went to several parcel transport couriers and checked
their prices. Choose a safe and inexpensive place. Now you know the postage
that will be added to the price of the product when you send your product to
the buyers in each area. For example, if the price of your product is 600
rupees, the cost of sending the parcel to Galle is 150 rupees.
You can price your buyer. If he or she agrees, you may want
to first deposit the money in your bank account and send the product home.
Setting up an Internet account in your bank account is even easier.
While this may not be as easy as it sounds, it is a good job
to be able to create a good market and market. give it a try.
