The purpose of the study is to explore and enquire whether women entrepreneurs find social media platforms as an effective marketing tool to help them in the sustenance of their businesses. Methodology: In this study I have used primary data to understand the usage patterns of social media users. A thorough investigation has been done with the help of secondary data from eminent publication sources relevant to the subject matter. Findings: Social media platforms have opened endless opportunities for the current generation of home-based women entrepreneurs, they can today set up and promote their businesses without investing in a brick and mortar set up. However, acquiring the appropriate knowhow will be inevitable for the success of any business functioning on social media sites. The social media business industry is constantly growing in the Indian market. This has not only provided opportunities to the home-based women entrepreneurs to become financially independent but also has opened up a huge market for the traders of various tangible and intangible commodities. The scope of business being managed on social media has a promising future prospect. Implications: The findings of this study will give a better understanding to home-based women entrepreneurs, who wish to start their own ventures on social media networking sites.
