With the Coronavirus and my country (USA) basically shutting down and everyone being on lockdown. I feel like its a blessing and a curse for us. Since were the only ones that can keep working because everything is online, so it's hard to be out of work completely, but it's also a curse since all the borders are closed and my suppliers are out of China. So i've been forced to stop working on my website, had to slow down on my marketing and basically everything else on the website.
Since all my suppliers are out of commision for now, my question is.. Is it even worth it to keep dropshipping right now? since I can't really ship anything and even if i do it will probably take a month or two AT THE LEAST, when it used to take like a week at the most.
So i'm thinking of doing some freelancing work for the meantime just to stay busy and maybe make a couple dollars. Im also doing some low-risk advertising/marketing for the website just to keep the traffic flowing, but still even if anyone buys anything, its not like ill be able to get their product to their house in a reasonable time. Is anyone else having similar problems like mine? I feel like i'm stuck between a rock a hard place lol.
I hate to not be working at the pace i've been going at for the past 2 years, and i'm starting to run out of ideas. So if anyone has any suggestions on what i should do from here. Let's have a conversation, im open to any ideas/help.
Thank you.
