Speaker A

As-salamu'alaykum. All right, so I'm a Muslim revert, alhamdulillah. And in the last few years, I made millions of dollars running online businesses. But since AI came into this digital world, everything went 10x, alhamdulillah rabbil alamin. But listen, in this video,

Speaker A

it is not about me. It's about you. How you can do the same thing in this digital world full of opportunities. Since AI is here, the whole world is changing. And in this video, I'm going to give you the

Speaker A

seven high-level services that you can start with AI to set up your own halal online business. Now, let's start and dive straight into it. Bismillah. Number one, the first solution that you can provide as a service with AI is customer

Speaker A

support automation. Now listen, there are hundreds of millions of businesses worldwide. And every single business has a problem, right? Has things in its daily processes, daily to-do's that you can help with. And this first one is regarding support. Every business

Speaker A

needs to answer emails, answer questions from customers, clients, orders, issues. And this is the big frustration for many, many businesses. I mean, back in the days and still a lot of businesses, they have tens of employees sitting behind a desk answering emails,

Speaker A

phone calls, everything. Inbound, outbound. But AI can do this. I mean, we all know it. ChatGPT, the chat AI bots and whatsoever. You can talk to it and it answers. And the same counts for businesses. The solution that you can

Speaker A

sell is that you prompt an AI chatbot fully based on the customer's needs, the businesses, the information in of itself. So that instead of having 10 employees for a couple thousand dollars per month, you can now sell a solution

Speaker A

like this for maybe a thousand dollars, two thousand dollars. It doesn't cost you any time really to set it up. You do it in one day, a couple hours. You can sell it for thousands of dollars. It's not about the hours that you put in or

Speaker A

the energy that it takes you to do it. It's about being valuable. Like I said, if you manage to build that chatbot in a couple of hours, it doesn't matter because it saves a lot of money, a lot

Speaker A

of time, and that's why it's worth so much. So, when you are selling services, you always look at the value that you can bring to the table, not the amount of time that it cost for yourself. Now, business idea number two. And here we

Speaker A

get a little bit more complex. All right. AI content agents. I mean, listen, like I said, every single business has processes, problems, and things that you can solve and you can handle. And in this case, it's about content, one of the most crucial things

Speaker A

in today's day and age. I mean, if you as a business in the past, you know, when the internet came, if you didn't have a website, you were missing out.

Speaker A

But right now, it's not just a website that you need, it is also content, social media. People are spending on average a couple hours a day blindly scrolling. There's a lot of opportunity for businesses. Some businesses are already making content. It costs a lot

Speaker A

of money, a lot of friction. Some businesses are not even doing any content. And that's why I'm saying 90% of the businesses need help with that.

Speaker A

That's where you can jump in, not just by blindly editing and putting a lot of hours into it. No, by building an AI agent that can do that. And that is the solution. You have a bunch of programs

Speaker A

such as Opus AI that can do clipping, short-form, social media content, where you just simply upload one long-form video of 10 minutes, and it clips it into multiple short-form videos. But you can also just open Claude and ask

Speaker A

it, "How do I do this?" And you explain the specific situation, and it outlines for you a complete plan where you can either build it with Claude or it recommends you the right software.

Speaker A

Because one thing I have to be very honest with you, with all the business modules and the ideas that I'm sharing here, it depends on what client you're working for. But that's the beautiful thing. You don't have to know where to

Speaker A

start. You don't have to be the expert. AI is your 24/7 mentor. [music] It is your 24/7 agent, your assistant that helps you to do that. So, the solution here in this business module, this idea, is that you build a solution for

Speaker A

content. Because once again, a company that wants to hire a full-time editor that can manage all of the content and whatsoever, couple thousand dollars per month. If you just set up a solution, set up a good process, you eliminate a

Speaker A

lot of friction because you take care of that responsibility. You produce good content, you let it be edited by AI, you publish it for the company, and you can charge $1,000, $1,500 per month. It's a recurring service such as the support.

Speaker A

Over here, it's something that a company needs on a daily basis, not just one time, on a daily basis. And you know, it's not just the editing part. It can be writing scripts, good hooks and ideas, content planning, analyzing as

Speaker A

well what kind of content works well, what can be better, what hooks do work well, etc., etc. So, you streamline the entire process, and you become super valuable without having any content experience yourself. Subhanallah. And before I dive into idea number three, I

Speaker A

want you to know as well that for us Muslims, we sometimes have a little bit of doubt and questions around AI. Is it halal? What do we need to keep in mind? And all I can tell you, apart

Speaker A

from a big disclaimer, I'm not a shaikh, I'm not a scholar, but I've done my research and I've talked to many people around me. I'm a Muslim that fears Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala, and I want to stay far away from things that are not

Speaker A

putting barakah in my businesses. AI is a leverage, okay? As long as you don't use it for creating fake images, use it for anything negative, everything in business, you know, it's about intention, and it's about what is the

Speaker A

real output that you are producing. A website, is it [music] haram? Content, is it haram? Doing support, is it haram?

Speaker A

No. So, as long as you are not lying, as long as you stay ethical, and as long as your intentions are good yourself, then I would say keep doing and keep using the opportunity right over here. Now, let's move to number three. And that is

Speaker A

AI email marketing. Well, you might think that email is dead. That's really not the case. For many, many businesses, especially e-commerce stores, email marketing is one of the main sources of revenue, and it's the most profitable one. Because it might surprise you, but

Speaker A

there are a lot of online businesses that have huge email lists, contacts, leads that are waiting there, and nothing is happening. All you have to do is find a business that has a lead list, you build a campaign, and you run their

Speaker A

entire email pipeline, their entire system, just by using AI. And here as well, we all know that ChatGPT can write a nice email, but it's not just about writing that email. It's about strategically planning, analyzing, what kind of things will work. If you are

Speaker A

helping an e-commerce store, and there is a summer action, like a discount that you want to do for the summer, you need to strategically plan it in advance. You need to know what is the ideal customer needs, the profile, the identity. Like,

Speaker A

you need to know who you are talking to. So, all of the concepting and ideation can be done with AI. Writing and planning it can be done with AI.

Speaker A

Managing and analyzing can be done with AI, without you needing any of that expertise. And again, here you have to look at not just how much time does it take for you, how much energy and friction or whatsoever. No. You look at

Speaker A

how valuable it is. And now the fourth halal business idea with AI is AI design and creative direction. Now, once again, we first have to identify the problem, because if there is no problem, you're not able to help. Just like content,

Speaker A

support, and all of those things, a lot of businesses, they need to put daily, on a daily basis, marketing campaigns, visuals, designs, logos, anything like that. Th

Speaker A

money. And good designers, they are pretty expensive. They are slow, or maybe if you hire one outside, the communication is not good. There's a lot of friction in here. And most businesses, they settle for less than what they actually know is possible. But

Speaker A

because they want don't want the headache of hiring, firing, and all of this stuff, they choose to not really put attention [music] into it. And this is where you can jump in with the solution. You use AI tools, designing

Speaker A

tools to produce high quality visuals. Fast, clean, and very accurate. And this can include everything. It's pretty broad. It can be social media graphics and post, ad creative for campaigns, or brand kits, logos, you know, business cards, posters, pitch decks,

Speaker A

presentations, whatever [music] it is. Businesses need this on a daily basis. And you kind of act as their creative director. And one thing you might ask before we move to 0.5, is like, if this is so easy, if you can just set up and

Speaker A

choose an AI and whatsoever, why wouldn't the business owner do it himself? And this is a good question to ask. But the reality is that most businesses, if you just look in general, most business owners are above 35, 40

Speaker A

years old. They really don't know what is going on in terms of AI. And it is pretty overwhelming. Yes, AI can do a lot, but how do you know what kind of tools you need to use, where to find it,

Speaker A

and and a lot of AI tools are still making mistakes. But you sit down, and you analyze each one of these services.

Speaker A

You pick one, you become the best in it. And because you have done all the research, businesses are happy to pay you instead of figuring it out your themselves, and they are busy.

Speaker A

They are so busy that if you come with a solution, they are happy to pay for it.

Speaker A

So, don't underestimate yourself. Now, business idea number five is AI website and software building. This comes pretty close to the designing part, which which I just talked about. But instead of just designing visuals and logos, right over here, we're talking about developing and

Speaker A

designing websites or software solutions. I mean, it might surprise you, but the most technical and specific things that required a lot of work, study, research, such as developing. I mean, developing code and going through it, very overwhelming. But you know that

Speaker A

AI can do these things actually the best. So here, one step back. The problem. What is the problem? Every single business, they need a website, right? They need to be seen. If I want to buy something, I need to find a

Speaker A

webshop. I need to find information about the businesses. So this is an essential aspect of running a business.

Speaker A

It is not something like, "Oh, maybe they need it." No, every single business needs this. Instead of working entire weeks on developing a website with custom code and this and that, you just go to a software called Lovable, for

Speaker A

example, or Webflow or Framer. These are all tools that you can use. And just like ChatGPT or Claude, you just talk to it, whatever you need and whatever you're thinking, and it builds it for you. The only thing with a website is

Speaker A

that a website by a business, they only need a website once. Not just like social media, they need it every single month. So also here, you can charge a lot of money for it, okay? I used to charge $5,000 per website and per

Speaker A

project. We are still doing development projects with our agency, but the thing it's a one-time project. It's not a monthly project. Yes, you can do monthly hosting and support or some optimizations, but it's slightly different. So you need to ask yourself

Speaker A

as well, what do you prefer? A monthly recurring project or just making websites, new website every single month. The business model, the idea number six is building an AI personal assistant. And this is not only valuable for your clients or for other projects.

Speaker A

This is also very valuable for yourself. Recently, a couple weeks ago, I've built my own internal personal assistant. And not just a personal assistant, an executive operator. I connected all my tools in my business, from my daily conversations in Slack and email and

Speaker A

WhatsApp, all the way to operating tools, my calendar, software we use lovable designing [music] tools, and I can literally just grab my mobile phone over here, and I can talk to my personal assistant called Ray. I'm like, "Hey,

Speaker A

just send me this. Just plan in a meeting. Send a message to this employee, whatsoever." And it does it for me. It analyzes everything that happens inside of my business, which literally removes 6 hours per day. I can

Speaker A

just only focus on high-level tasks instead of going through my emails the whole day and whatsoever. It's like having a personal assistant, but then one who is 100 times smarter, 24/7 available, super fast, and strategic.

Speaker A

So, if you choose one of the other businesses that you want to run, then still I would highly, highly recommend you to also build your own personal assistant. [music] Again, the problem business owners, they need help with scheduling, summarizing their

Speaker A

planning, and research emails, all of this headache. And you can sell that as a solution. Me myself, I did it because I wanted to research it, but it took me a couple of days to figure it out. If

Speaker A

someone came with to me with the exact solution directly, I would love have to to just pay a couple hundred dollars or a couple thousand dollars maybe even for it. Now, idea number seven, and this is the last one in this list, is AI HR and

Speaker A

recruitment. So, of course, AI can do a lot, but not everything. Hiring is still one of the most essential things in a business. You need [music] a team. What about physical businesses, for example, plumbers or whatsoever that go to to to

Speaker A

houses to like AI cannot do this, right? And also in in digital like like businesses, you still need employees.

Speaker A

But hiring, finding the right people is a big problem for businesses. Checking their CVs and like all of the information, scheduling interviews, onboarding new stuff, and all of that.

Speaker A

Maybe for fun you should look how much a recruitment company actually can charge. It's a lot, but it's also because it's you're just dealing with that issues yourself. You just take all of the the the problems on you, and you go for it.

Speaker A

But you know that AI can also do all of that right now from lead scraping, managing campaigns, setting up recruitment campaigns in the correct way, handling the interviews, scheduling everything, reviewing CVs in order to not get to read everything yourself. You

Speaker A

can sell it as a solution. Once again, it's very, very valuable. And you know, in this video I I just mentioned seven ideas, but there are way more. There are hundreds of problems inside of businesses on a day-to-day basis that

Speaker A

you can solve with AI. And I understand it it comes with a lot of depth, you know, running a business, you also need to know what can you exactly charge, where do you find those clients, how do you reach out, how you do you become

Speaker A

good at sales because you're competing with a lot of other businesses. It might feel overwhelming, but you know, for us as Muslims, it works the same way. The only thing that we need to do is make dua, keep Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala in our

Speaker A

mind, have our intentions clear, and follow the right system. Now, if you want more information about it, just check the link here down below and I'll show you all the steps that you can take as a Muslim to get this business off of

Speaker A

the ground. May Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala bless you. I'll see you in the next video. Assalamualaikum.
