I don’t know about you but it sure seems there are a lot more micro-entrepreneurs around these days. I define a micro-entrepreneur as someone who makes at least some self-employment income but it is not necessarily their primary source of income.
I’ve noticed an increase in micro- entrepreneurs during COVID. As someone who manges a number of Facebook pages, it’s amazing to see so many creative and talented people producing and selling sustainable baby clothes, baked goods etc. from home. Social media and the rise of #shoplocal seems to have aided the rise of these micro-entrepreneurs. I agree with you, I’d rather spend the extra $10-20 if it helps locals.
