The Use Of Social Media As A Tool For Digital Entrepreneurship Among Young Algerians

Authors : Beghdadi Kawther .

Abstract

This article analyzes the role of social media in the development of digital entrepreneurship among young Algerians, focusing on the practices adopted, the perceived benefits, and the constraints encountered. Based on a quantitative survey of 100 young entrepreneurs who use social media to market products or services, the results show that these platforms are a key lever for visibility, communication, and value creation, particularly via Instagram. However, the effectiveness and sustainability of projects remain limited by a lack of digital marketing skills, difficulties related to online payments, logistical constraints, and an unsuitable regulatory framework. The study thus highlights a gap between the potential offered by digital technology and the institutional conditions necessary for sustainable digital entrepreneurship in Algeria.
