Facebook: Different Pages and groups Helping Women Entrepreneurs

Absolutely home-cooked food offers online-based service ''Miss Latachamoch''.

They have their own page on Facebook. But even then they are members of different groups. Its owner, Mehzabin Islam, said they were members of at least five to six groups. What is the benefit?

Mehzabin Islam used to say, "I used to get 100 orders in two months, now I get 150 food orders in a month."

"I'm posting in groups, especially for women, because there are a lot of people who post about food items on the page, and many people get lost in the service. But the page with only girls is more useful," she said.

Sifat Hossain is working on clothes and dry fruits and nuts.

He was saying, "Organically I used to get less orders from my page before but after being a member of different pages many people order outside my acquaintance. My page has been boosted since then".

There is no accurate information on how many such groups there are on Facebook and how much money is being traded through them.

However, these Facebook groups have become an opportunity for online merchants that many do not want to miss.

Group admins gain that

Asiya Nila is the admin of a Facebook group called 'Women in E-Commerce'.

She is the founder of an IT-based company called Women in Digital.

He said their main purpose was to introduce e-commerce.

He said that when he went to the village to work in Women in Digital, he saw that the girls were doing various kinds of work but they did not have much knowledge of technology.

He formed this group in 2015. So that absolutely small entrepreneurs of the village can be involved.

Ms. Nila says that if a buyer from her group orders from abroad and they communicate with the seller, she gets a percentage of the profit from there.

Again many write in their resumes or portfolios now along with other qualifications he manages a group. Where there are several thousand members.
