Xa Pho girl creates livelihood from social networks

In the past few years, Ms. Hoang Thi Ha has learned from experience on social networks and then opened an online food business model at home. Every day, she posts advertisements on social networks, then receives orders, then processes and ships them to customers. Up to now, this job has become Ms. Ha's main "livelihood". To make a difference, Ms. Ha often chooses to sell unique food products, ensuring quality and safety, to maintain her reputation and brand with customers, such as dried bamboo shoots, honey, vegetables, fruits, she always chooses the best products to sell, not selling poor quality products.

Ms. Ha said: “For us Xa Pho women, we have always lived quite closed off from the outside community. People mainly live and work in the fields, farming, and raising livestock. So I thought I would have to change, I could not live with those old concepts forever. I went online to see how ethnic minorities in the highlands started their businesses. From there, I learned and chose online sales to try my hand.”

Ms. Hoang Thi Ha has contributed to bringing local products to the market.

In the early days, I encountered many difficulties in using a smartphone to access social networks. I had to ask how to register for a Facebook channel to join social networks. Then I learned about online business methods of sellers on social networks. Then I also ordered their products to know how they sold, shipped, and paid. Gradually, I got used to the job and tried to post my first products on social networks, Ms. Ha said.

Since starting an online business, Ms. Ha has had to manage her time and work properly. Every morning, she has to post advertisements to sell products on social networking platforms. When a customer closes an order, she starts packing and sending the goods to the customer.

Ms. Dang Thi Mui, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Son Thuy Commune, said: "Ms. Ha is quite dynamic, willing to learn and access information to change her job, creating changes for herself. At the same time, she also inspires many Xa Pho women to learn and change their thinking about work. In addition, she is also a very enthusiastic person who participates in restoring and preserving traditional cultural values ​​of the nation to spread in the community and social network space. Thanks to that, the traditional culture of the Xa Pho ethnic group in Son Thuy Commune is also known by many people, these are very positive actions of Ms. Ha".

In addition to online business, Ms. Ha also actively participates in preserving and promoting the cultural values ​​of the Xa Pho people.

Since Ms. Ha started selling online, she has contributed to the consumption of agricultural products produced by local families, and has also helped some women have more jobs and income when she invited them to participate in her online business model.

Mr. Phung Viet Trung, owner of a business in Van Ban district, said: “From the past until now, Xa Pho women in Van Ban district have been somewhat closed, they mainly live and work in agricultural production, they are often shy to communicate with ethnic communities outside, but with Ms. Ha it is different, I see that she is very bold, confident to overcome the traditional stereotypes and prejudices of her people to step into the market to do business, and to do business on social networks, which is a very new thing for Xa Pho women in Van Ban. This is a good thing to inspire other Xa Pho women to follow, thereby overcoming old concepts to rise up and become rich, which is very useful”.
