Covid-19 could permanently shift working patterns as companies forced to embrace remote working by the pandemic find that their employees do not want to return to the office once the closures are lifted.
Working from home has always had a stigma over it for people in network marketing companies as if the business was fake.
And here we are looking at it right in the face as the new thing cool kids are doing but instead of it happening voluntarily it was forced due to the pandemic.
People had to adjust – figure out how to make it work. Videoconferencing service Zoom lifted limitations on its own free tier, allowing conversations to exceed 40 minutes. Remote tools like google suite, trello for group organizations and meetings.
Then the spikes in usage are most likely to affect people who pay for their internet with bandwidth caps, particularly common in the US and among those who rely on mobile broadband. ATT waved those extra fees when the kids were moved to homeschooling back in March.
More people are working from home now more than ever in history. Internet times have spiked, mobile device uses have spiked and worked at home in sweat pants and yoga pants are the new normal.
People like it. At least most.
They like the option to be in the office space in a hybrid model or at home.
Large events are bringing their events to the virtual space and 1000’s of people are jumping on board that would have opted out because of the travel, hotels, eating out and plus the cost of the event.
I was able to attend Tony Robbins event this year that I normally would not have gone too because so many people attend and 5 & 10K type crowds aren’t for me.

People who could not move their job to work from the internet – lost their job and started scrambling to bring in anything they could for income. The people who already had a side income became very grateful for the income they had.
The network marketing industry all of a sudden looked very different to people who thought it was a hokey before.
The rise in people getting started in network marketing alone has been around 63% in purchasing products delivered to their home. The sales for health products in my company has been such an increase it was hard for the warehouse to keep up with boxes going out.
Covid-19 Shifted in buying
Across the world, people are shifting buying habits and the lockdown has even hit boomers by forcing them to shop online – some for the first time. COVID has accelerated the e-commerce industry’s growth and more businesses are joining the e-commerce business revolution than ever before.
People like myself who learned to use social media for business 65% of influencer marketing budgets will increase this year alone.
People are getting more personalized experience than ever before. They have a community in Facebook groups and someone they can ask a question too instead of placing an order because they think it is what they need.
