0:00Good morning, [music] Assalamualaikum. So today I'm going to give you a raw version of me running my [music] business as a Muslim revert. Inside behind the scenes, closing clients, the routine, the [music] habits, the gym, the life, everything. All the way up to even showing you what I do exactly because as a Muslim right now it is easier than ever [music]

0:24to build a halal income online. Well, according to this CNN Business article, AI is replacing human tasks faster than you might think. [music] this website in 15 minutes and I sold it for $2,000. Hey Daniel, how are you doing today, man? Let's go ahead and find some leads for a bad website. Yes, is this Gerald?

0:43Yeah, hey man. Great. That's it. This time for us Muslims is crazy. [music] Let me show you.

0:55All right. Bismillah. Oh, yeah. Of course, safety first. All right, all right, all right. Bismillah. This is the voicemail of Cath. Leave a message. All right, all right. Another try. [clears throat] Yes, is this the owner of I'm the owner. All right. Yeah, man. So I actually checked out your Google reviews and they are actually amazing. The only thing is that I wasn't able to see a website is Uh, but

1:41I mean, this is what you have to go through. When you're calling, you'll have to deal with like six, seven out of 10 voicemails, four out of 10 people are just busy, not interested, the owner is not there, all this this type of stuff, you know? But then there's this one out of the 10 that actually picks up and is

1:56interested, and you can book a call. It's Yes, so is this the owner of Yes, that's me. Perfect. I saw the positive reviews. The only thing is that I didn't see a website or a place to look at the menu or whatsoever. What is the the reason for that? Yeah, I never had a had a work on that,

2:15actually. How come? I get it, like uh we as entrepreneurs, we're always busy, right? But the thing is that like even for me, if I see your cafe, reviews are good, but I have no place for me to actually be able to see the menu, be able to see anything personally, and I bet a lot of people have that. They would love to check these things before they visit,

2:34right? I agree with that. You're probably calling for the reasons. So, the thing is that I actually went ahead and already built you a brand new website. Your reviews, everything, pictures, branding, it's all on there already. All I want is 5 minutes to be able to show it to you, if that's something you'd be open to.

2:52And what's that going to cost me? Yes, good question. So, all I do is I charge $1,000, everything included, hosting, security, and it it does the job, man. I mean, I've helped a lot of cafes like yours already, like the one we've made for we made for I would just love to do the same thing

3:11for you, man. I'm not sure if I have that budget now. I get that. I get that, of course. I'm sure we can work it out, man. That's not a problem. I mean, I already built the website for you, so I think the least thing we could do is just hop on a quick call for me to be able to show it to you. And uh we'll decide from there, you know? If it's something you don't like,

3:28then no problem. We'll just move on. Tomorrow, 11:00 a.m. works best for me. Perfect. [clears throat] Uh 11:00 a.m. Yeah, that that will work. Tomorrow, sounds good. I'll send over to you the invite on email. Is your email Okay, great. I'll send it over, and then I'll see you there. See you there. See you there, man. Bye-bye.

3:46Bye. Perfect. There you go. And that was just the ninth call. Six voicemails, two people who were not interested, and then bam. Booked a meeting. I mean, his budget was not the best, but so all I have to do right now is make sure I pray Dhuhr, finish my workout, and then prepare this

4:04website for the meeting tomorrow. [singing]

4:14[singing] You literally have mosques everywhere here. There was one there, all the way in the front, three behind this tree, another one, four, five, and here, same road, another one, number six. Alhamdulillah. It's such a blessing. Like no matter where you are on the road, this is literally just 2-minute time, and you have six mosques on one road. Alhamdulillah rabbil alamin. It's a big blessing. Running an online business gives you that that blessing. There's barakah, barakah in

4:46your income, barakah in your time.

4:56All right, here we are. Bismillah. Let's go to the gym. Let me check this out. They have everything, even a mosque inside. Alhamdulillah.

5:19Let's go. One thing about this gym is that it's absolutely huge.

5:37So, today Today is a push day, which means I train my chest, triceps, and shoulders. I uh always prefer to go around the whole time. This morning was a bit more chaotic. But uh it's nice to break up your day, you know? I do have a quick meeting in like 20 minutes from now at 1:30. I think I never actually really do it around that time, but I kind of had to. I'll do a quick session right now, do that meeting, and then uh go to the spa. Kind of come to peace of mind before we continue the

6:10working day, inshallah.

6:31[music]

6:37Uh how are you? The way I would love to approach it here is like of course the main reason for this is that we just finished um a call. It was a good session. It was actually a check-in with someone who's using the software that we've built in order to do the outreach that I was doing literally in the car. It's a software that we are building on already for a long time that helps you to scrape leads, find leads, and actually close deals in the right way. Right now we are testing it um privately. We'll probably bring it publicly to the market in a few

7:09months from now. Right now I'm going to relax a little bit and go to the spa.

7:25All right. Let's do 15 minutes in the sauna, then directly jump into the ice cold plunge, and then I swim a little bit, I go into the jacuzzi, I let my own mind wind a little bit, sit in the sun before we go back to work. See you go. And even though it's men only over here, we still keep it There we have the pool, which we'll go

7:51into in a second. Here, we have the sauna. [music]

8:00Sweating my ass off. Now, let's jump into the ice bath. Come on.

8:15All right. One One minute in. The thing is the longer you are in here, the easier it gets. Your body adjusts. Very good for your immune system. The energy that goes through my body right now. It's going to help me.

8:40I don't feel my toes anymore. [sighs] And then, quickly into the jacuzzi. Check this out.

9:01Really helps to relax a little bit in between the hard work. But, I think right now, it is time to get back to work. Inshallah. So, let's get ready and then actually build that website that we shall I will try to sell. See you guys in a bit. Salaam alaykum. So, [sighs] good workout, good session. We're well

9:19rested and ready to continue work. Because what I'm going to do actually right now is I'm going to demonstrate to you how I'm going to prepare for my meeting tomorrow that I just set in the car. I got my sparkling water with me and my laptop. So, we basically have everything that's needed in order to now

9:38get started. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to share my screen. And what I do is I open up this agent. Because you know, the most beautiful part of it all is that I use AI to do basically 80% of the work for me. So what I do is I go to outreaching over here, move to my leads, and search for new leads. This can be anywhere around

10:01the globe. Let's say for now we just zoom in and we go for Let's say Washington. Washington area in a radius of like 50 km. And I want to actually reach out to some painters, right? So I select my industry. For now, let's do a quick test and aim for 10 new leads. And

10:19I actually want to go for poor websites. It's very important that we let the AI agent actually look for leads that actually have a website or have no website, so there's something to sell them, right? There's a bunch of other filters, but we leave that for now, and we go to scrape leads. Alhamdulillah. All right. As you can see, it is scraping right now. So we can just use

10:41our time well and wait until it's done. Let's actually grab the Quran and use our time in between well.

11:01So as you can see, it already found 60 painters, and it's now checking their websites to make sure that we actually going to find websites that are horrible, right?

11:17All right. Alhamdulillah. As you can see, within a few minutes, it can literally scrape hundreds of leads. Let's just take a look real quick here and check out some websites. And clearly, as you can see, these are websites that have not been updated for the longest time. And they definitely need some makeover, right? Let's see.

11:32What about this one? Ay, ay, ay. You know, it is all right, but it is definitely made 10 years ago. Let's see this one over here. As you can see, I just clicked on three leads out of the 10 that we just scraped as a test. Every single one we click on is either very slow. This one is super slow. This one is all right, but it's it's very slow, man. What about this one? Trust me when I say that this tool has close to 90 plus percent accuracy and when you tell it to find like leads that have websites that are horrible, then trust me, it will find them. And

12:05that's [clears throat] what I did. Earlier this morning, I hopped into the car. All I did was literally just calling these leads one by one. I grabbed my phone. I dialed them and I pitched them like, "Yo, your website is not working. It is either slow. It is like you cannot find it like well in Google. It's definitely in need of a makeover." This morning, I actually didn't call painters, but I called cafes. So, I talked to a cafe owner who didn't even have a website. As you can see, they do not even have a proper website connected to their Google account. So, all we have to do is

12:36basically just copy their information, paste it in the same AI agent. We also grab their reviews. Let's go. Copy that in here as well. Also, we do see that they have an Instagram account, which we will also grab as a source. Put it there. And even though they don't have a website, I still found their menu over eats. So, I actually also added that inside of it. And all I tell this AI agent is, "Please turn this into a proper powerful prompt to build a website for this cafe. Keep in mind all the missing things so we can turn it into a modern website that grabs

13:25attention." And then we just upload that and the AI agent starts working right away. As you can see, it is currently writing an entire prompt, which forms the foundation of the website built. All right, and there we go. A master prompt fully ready to build this potential client a new website. We go ahead, copy paste this, get the prompt, we go over here, literally just paste the prompt in there. We add any additional information like the logo. We check if we can find some valuable pictures like the one over

13:54here. Smoothies. Let's get some of these pictures on there as well. This looks pretty good to be honest. Some good sandwiches. All right, and then all we do is just hit this button and let AI do its work. Also, right now it is exactly Maghrib already. The day is flying by. I hear the adhan already outside. Alhamdulillah. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to quickly pray in the meantime while AI is literally building this whole website for me. Take 5

14:24minutes. I'll be back in a second. Bismillah. All right, here we are again. Back. Alhamdulillah. Now, as you can see, it literally built the entire website for us. Let's actually go ahead and take a look. As you can see, like I mean I didn't do anything. This is fully done by AI based on the input that we gave. There's this whole menu that has been added already to concept. It even took

14:51the pictures and added it there. Wow. I mean these smoothies, hmm. This is of course just a start. This is something worthy to present to the client tomorrow on the meeting that we just set. But of course, we could sit down for a solid 5 to 10 minutes and we could even make this website 10 times better. That's what I'm talking about. You can literally sell this website for $1,000, couple hundred bucks. On average I sell most of my websites even above that. But it depends on how much effort you want to take. You could sell multiple per day

15:19if you just consistently work on this. Long story short, this software stack is one of the most valuable things ever. It makes running my business, my agency, easier than ever before. To a point where even starters, like Muslim beginners without any prior experience, can do this. And let me tell you a secret. This AI agent over here is an Islamic AI agent, and I built it. I invested over half a million dollars into the best of the best developers in the Ummah. And I've tested this on my own agency for months now. Behind the scenes, we're getting very, very close to launching this software. We're thinking of going public in maybe a few

15:56months from now. And trust me when I say that this piece of software is going to change the way we Muslims do business. I use it myself. You've seen it. And now, if you want early access to this software, this is AI agent, and if you want to know more about how I run my business so you can do the same thing, then click the first link in the description to apply and do it yourself, inshallah ta'ala. So, I will go a little bit through this website, optimize it a little bit more. And if you're curious if I'm actually going to close this client, then follow me for more because

16:25I'm transparently sharing my entire journey. May Allah subhana wa ta'ala bless you. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
