In Bululi village, the pandemic has caused economic problems for the community, where the productivity of the community in their livelihoods is reduced to meet the economic needs of their families, including as farmers and entrepreneurs. The purpose of implementing this service is to stimulate community participation in order to rebuild the community's economy based on village potential. This service activity was carried out in Bululi village in the form of training for 25 households. The implementation method includes three stages, identification, planning, and implementation of activities. The implementation results show that the community is enthusiastic about the implementation of SME training activities and digital marketing literacy. This success started from identifying the potential of the village and the potential of the community in creating creativity, namely in the manufacture of village-specific beverage products from sugarcane juice by making them in various flavors. From the results of training and simulations on making village specialty drinks from sugarcane juice, several Bululi residents have tried and made their own at home, then sold it to the community.
