Salamkum. At 19 years old, I was making more money than my math teacher, my English teacher, and my three other teachers all combined. The crazy thing is my family thought what I was doing was haram because of how fast the money
was coming in. Alhamdulillah, it was all halal. Actually, I did all of that while
halal. Actually, I did all of that while still going to class 8 hours a day while having no capital to start. So, I
couldn't hire people to do stuff for me and while not compromising my deal, alhamdulillah, which is the most important point. And I'm doing this
important point. And I'm doing this video today because I'm tired of all the gurus lying and giving so much fluff about making money online. So, by the end of the video, you know why people spend money, where to find people that spend a lot of money, and how to take money from people that spend a lot of
money so that you can have a lot of money, too. Now, if you want to make
money, too. Now, if you want to make money online, the first thing you need to understand is why people spend money.
And people spend money for three reasons. The first one is when they have
reasons. The first one is when they have a painful problem. Something is so painful that they want it to be fixed right now. Painful problems are actually
right now. Painful problems are actually the best ways of taking people's money because when a problem is painful, people will just care about you fixing it. They don't care about how you're
it. They don't care about how you're going to fix it. They don't care about when you're going to fix it. They don't
care about anything. They just care about you fixing it. The other things are details, but the main thing they look for is can you fix it? And to
detect if a problem is painful enough, the first answer that people give you is yes. Whenever you offer them the
yes. Whenever you offer them the solution to their painful problem, they don't start asking questions. They say
yes and then they ask questions. It's
the best way of selling people, but I'm going to talk about it in a minute. Now,
if you offer someone a solution and they don't say yes directly, it's a why not purchase. It's a conveniency. It's where
purchase. It's a conveniency. It's where
people are like, "Yeah, if x, y, and z."
And these ones are just based on the prices because you are a conveniency.
The only thing they look for is for the cheapest price where you have actually most of the guys selling services online that are not critical for businesses to survive. I'll talk about it in a second,
survive. I'll talk about it in a second, but just so you know, this is the red zone that you want to absolutely avoid because this is the biggest trap. Now,
the last reason why people spend money is for status. It's when they answer yes, but only if it's this one. Because
here with status purchases, they don't care about what the product does. They
care about the feeling, how you make them look like, but can only be done by the business once they have experience.
They've done all the research. It's
still big businesses that set up stuff for status. They're making set amount of
for status. They're making set amount of money, but it's super hard to enter there. So, it's good if you're rich, a
there. So, it's good if you're rich, a big trouble when you are broke and you're just beginning. Summary, if
you're rich already, you can go ahead and do this. If not, you need to sell on pain. But no one should actually be
pain. But no one should actually be here. You're not sticky. You're the
here. You're not sticky. You're the
first one to get fired when things messes up. You do not want to be here.
messes up. You do not want to be here.
Now that you understood that pain is the absolute best vehicle when it comes to selling, let me just stop you from making the worst mistake of your life, which is selling the process instead of selling the outcome. I see everyone make
this mistake when they're trying to make money is talk about how they're going to help people. Instead of saying what's
help people. Instead of saying what's going to happen when you help people, just look at airlines. No airlines talk about how dry the food is, how small the seat inside the plane is going to be, the child behind you that's going to
kick your chair. They never talk about that. What they say is once you land in
that. What they say is once you land in Dubai, it'll be 35 degrees. There'll be
food from 50 different countries and all of that stuff. And they talk about the outcome. Even yourself when you
outcome. Even yourself when you purchasing it. You're not thinking about
purchasing it. You're not thinking about the process. You're thinking about what
the process. You're thinking about what happens when you buy the thing. And
that's the biggest mistake everyone does. I hear so many copyriters, so many
does. I hear so many copyriters, so many video editors, so many service providers across the board talking about how they do stuff instead of what their stuff does for the client. And that is the worst mistake everyone does. You don't
write emails. You help people make money through emails. You don't edit videos.
through emails. You don't edit videos.
You help people go viral by editing videos. And now lastly, people actually
videos. And now lastly, people actually don't even look into the logistics when the problem is super painful. So you
actually just need to not even talk about the logistic and just talk about the outcome. That will be enough for
the outcome. That will be enough for them to be convinced. That's where you want to be selling people who are in pain. Now the question is, where do I
pain. Now the question is, where do I find people that are in pain? Here is
why I give you an exercise. It's called
open your eyes. The simplest way to find people that are in pain is exactly like finding water in the desert. The best
thing you can do is just sit down, wait for an animal to come and just follow him. So, you're going to sit down, wait
him. So, you're going to sit down, wait for people to spend money, and see where the money goes. And this is super, super important. I'm giving you a cheat code.
important. I'm giving you a cheat code.
I never heard anyone talk about it is follow the expenses. And the first thing you can do yourself is open your bank app right now and track all the money you're spending and categorize it
depending on would you have bought it if it was 10 times the price? If yes, that is a pain problem. Would you have bought it if it was twice the price or half the price and you still say no or you regret
buying it? That is a why not purchase.
buying it? That is a why not purchase.
And the other one, would you have not bought it? Did you like the outcome that
bought it? Did you like the outcome that this thing gave you? Yes. Then this is a status purchase. You want to stick to
status purchase. You want to stick to the painful ones and see everywhere that you spend money where you would have done it anyway. Now, if you don't have a lot of money and you still want to understand and see where people spend
money, you want to look for people that have money and see where they're spending money. And to tell you who has
spending money. And to tell you who has money, it's not rich people, it's actually businesses. Because people see
actually businesses. Because people see everything they spend as an expense where businesses see everything they spend as an investment. So, they would be much more open to buying your services because that would help them
make more money. So, where to find people that have money? You look for businesses and you open your eyes on where they spend money. Now what can you sell to them that would help them mainly
is three things most of the time when it comes to businesses they spend money to market to more people spend money to sell more that's where you optimize for more sales you get closers you get sales distance in and the last one is when you
help them deliver on the guys that is sold already deliver to more people or deliver a better service to their people so that later they can have easier marketing because they have case studies and they can make more sales because
they have more proof and more trust when it comes to their product. Now, I know you clicked on this video because you want practical advices to make money.
And I know you're going to start asking me, "But specifically, where do I search?" So, if you want to start a
search?" So, if you want to start a local business, you can start looking on Google Maps. You just have to segment
Google Maps. You just have to segment businesses in different categories based on what the business is. That would be, for example, selling to restaurants in New York. And now, if you have over 100
New York. And now, if you have over 100 businesses inside your segmentation, you need to create a subsegment so that you can have around 50 to 100 people that you can target. and then you can learn to fix their problems and fix it for
more people. And that's how you can
more people. And that's how you can create and scale a business. Now, if you want to do the same stuff online, I cannot give you a direct way of looking for people, you have to practice the exercise I gave you before, which is
opening your eyes and looking for opportunities. Whenever you see an ad,
opportunities. Whenever you see an ad, someone creating content, ecom store, whenever anyone is selling anything online, there is money that is being made. So, there is money that is being
made. So, there is money that is being spent. Look for where they are spending
spent. Look for where they are spending money. And just like you segmented, you
money. And just like you segmented, you do the same thing online. So you're
going to look for people selling courses. And now that may be a bit too
courses. And now that may be a bit too broad. So you can look for Muslims
broad. So you can look for Muslims selling courses. Just look online, open
selling courses. Just look online, open your eyes, and whenever you see anyone generating money, he's running a business and you can sell him something.
And now a little pro tip because here locally, you can just go and drive to the people and pitch them live, which is what I advise you to do instead of just calling them online. You can't really drive to people's house. What you want to be doing is do calls outreaches.
Reach out to them directly, sending them a message, whether that be an email, a DM, LinkedIn message, whatever. Just
something to touch them on in their pain point and where you can help them with and offer them your solution. The
biggest mistake people do when they do call outreach is that they think there is already a first language barrier because the guy doesn't know you. So, if
you say stuff, he's going to interpret it in different ways. Whereas, if you know someone already and it's a warm conversation, whatever you say, he's going to understand it because he knows
you. What you must do when you do a cold
you. What you must do when you do a cold outreach is send warm messages. What
that means is you're going to talk to them like you know them and like you understand them because you should understand them if you're trying to sell them something. But the main thing is
them something. But the main thing is talking to them about their pains in a way that shows you understand their pain. Because people buy when they feel
pain. Because people buy when they feel understood and if you send a cold DM is like a copypasted message. You don't
mention anything specific about them.
There's no way the guy is buying from you anytime soon. So, send warm DMs to cold prospects and you're going to close on the deal in now. How to take their money is just sales. And to do so, we're
going to use a three-step framework when we're going to start by locating the pain. Then, we're going to evaluate the
pain. Then, we're going to evaluate the pain. And the last step is going to be
pain. And the last step is going to be making them an offer using what we found by locating the pain and evaluating the pain. So, now you're looking online,
pain. So, now you're looking online, you're browsing on Google Maps, and you find something you kind of enjoy. you
kind of think has money there and you saw them spending money somewhere. What
you want to be doing is start by segmenting the spending in different categories. Marketing, it's where you're
categories. Marketing, it's where you're trying to grab people to see me. It's
just eyeball. Sales is where those eyeballs you're trying to convert them into money. And the last one is delivery
into money. And the last one is delivery is you got guys seeing you. You got them their credit cards, but now deliver on what you promised them. Like we said, we're going to try and locate the pain.
So, let's take a random business. All
right, we're taking a restaurant. We're
analyzing a restaurant and trying to locate some pain. There's money to be made in any kind of businesses. What I'm
going to show here is also applicable to an agency guy selling a course, to an actual physical business, to a gym, to every single thing. You just need to look for these three elements. See which
one is lacking the most and then help them fix it. So, I'm going to look at marketing. Let's say the restaurant is
marketing. Let's say the restaurant is running content. They're just taking
running content. They're just taking some pictures of the food and posting some stories sometimes. Now, when it comes to the sales for the restaurant to make them more sales or to make sure the guys that come in actually end up buying something, usually this one is fine, by
the way, for restaurants, otherwise they would fix it already. Now, let's say on the delivery side of things, let's say they hired one of the best chefs in the area and they have pretty good reviews, which is about 4.6. It could be
improved, but let's see which one is the best. Having a look at this, if you have
best. Having a look at this, if you have no idea what you can improve on, just ask yourself, if I double one of them, which one would make the most sense? For
example, on the delivery side of things, if I double the rating, I get it from 4.6 to 4.8 cuz they're just missing 4 to get to five, I get it to 4.8, 8, which would that be a crazy outcome? Not too
sure. Even if I double the amount of reviews. Not too sure. They'll change a
reviews. Not too sure. They'll change a crazy thing. You don't really care about
crazy thing. You don't really care about 4.6, 4.8. It's above 4.5, yeah, I'll buy
4.6, 4.8. It's above 4.5, yeah, I'll buy it. Now, they already have good pictures
it. Now, they already have good pictures for the sales. And you can ask the guys inside out of how many people are coming in the restaurant, how many end up buying something. It's really rare that
buying something. It's really rare that someone comes in a restaurant and they just leaves and says, "No, no, I don't want to buy. I got scared away." Because
again, they would fix it. It's easy to see. What you want to help them with as
see. What you want to help them with as a guy coming from the outside is the marketing side of things. So now that you realize that the department that needs the most help is the marketing department, you're going to try and
figure out what you can do to improve it and how much would that be worth to them. Usually what I like to do is run a
them. Usually what I like to do is run a free test or run a sample if you have no experience. So that would just be you
experience. So that would just be you trying out some stuff and just showing them, yeah, all right, let me just try and run some ads and let me try and get you 10 customers in. It's on me. It's
free. Let me just try it out and see what happens from the sample. You get
the value added. So that gives you a clear idea of what you've done and how helpful it was. If they say, "Yeah, we got 10 guys from your flyers. They all
bought something about, you know, 30 bucks for the meal." That's 300 bucks worth of value added. Anything below
that is what you could have charged to get them those results. Obviously,
there's profit margin and everything that goes in there, but that's not what you should care about. We'll talk about it when we make the offer. But what you want to be doing again is evaluate the pain. So, all right. Marketing is pretty
pain. So, all right. Marketing is pretty painful and I have a direct correlation with how much you can make. Now, the
sample gave me an idea. On average, I get $30 per customer that I get you in.
I didn't struggle much to get you 10 guys. And then you start looking at what
guys. And then you start looking at what you can add with that value added. You
did the sample. It made sense. It's
cool. It works. What I want you to do now is find me a way to get a,000 people in because that will give you something worth 30 grand because what that allows you to do is tie your offer to the
outcome. So you see what that would look
outcome. So you see what that would look like and then you can say, "Hey, we're going to run a marketing campaign for you and make your 30 grand." And then when you ask your price, it makes sense cuz it started to this one. Then what
you need to do if you want to make a good offer that makes people feel stupid saying no to, you want to follow the 3P framework. The first one is pain. Of
framework. The first one is pain. Of
course, you want to focus on the pain.
So for the restaurant that is struggling with their marketing, we're going to squeeze on how bad the situation is.
Imagine you stop getting marketing. You
just rely on Instagram or your post don't even look good. What are you going to do if you stop getting clients in the door? Also going to be paying the
door? Also going to be paying the waiters and they're also going to leave the job and you're going to lose all of that money. See how painful that is? I
that money. See how painful that is? I
just switched the offer and made it sound so painful and the situation sounds so bad. They throw any amount of money. So now I mentioned the pain. That
money. So now I mentioned the pain. That
is what I'm going to be focusing on is them losing money because they can't have good marketing. That's the pain.
Now the second thing I'm going to focus on is the path to solving that pain. I'm
going to help you solve this big pain by running ads, by putting flyers, by running your content on your behalf. And
here is the only time you're a little bit allowed to talk about the process to make it a little bit more believable.
Say a few things you're going to do and then focus on the third P that is the most important one, which is proof.
Everyone needs proof before buying anything. And for proof, there are two
anything. And for proof, there are two ways you can do it. If you're a beginner, you don't have any case studies, you need to give a guarantee.
That could be the classical one. I get
you extreme outcome or you don't pay.
That just makes them feel more comfortable. But that's still not enough
comfortable. But that's still not enough for most cases, which is why most of the time you need to try and get your first client as soon as possible to get your first review and then use case studies because case studies are the easiest way
to get more clients. You're just showing people, hey, you see this guy? He's just
like you and I helped him solve this problem. You have the exact same problem
problem. You have the exact same problem and I just solved it for him. I can
solve it for you, too. That is insanely believable. And if you're crack, you can
believable. And if you're crack, you can do case studies plus guarantee. It's a
three-step framework. I'm going to add the last one, which is last P, which is pricing. And what you want to have with
pricing. And what you want to have with your pricing is to have it also be a nobrainer. You want to be as far as
nobrainer. You want to be as far as possible from what you're making them.
And a good one is a 10 to1 ratio. So you
just look at what you're going to make them, and you divide this by 10, and that's how much you're going to charge.
So for the previous guy, the marketing campaign, if you're making them 30 grand, you're just going to charge three grand. And then to scale, you just find
grand. And then to scale, you just find similar guys that just like him that could lose money if they don't get clients. And you just go and you show
clients. And you just go and you show them how you fix it for this one, and you sell them the same thing. And then
maybe you're going to make 50 grand or 100 grand to the different business. And
you can increase your prices and so on and so forth. Now, last pro tip. If
you're really a hungry guy and you want to charge more money, you have a way to have a 5:1 3:1 ratio by doing your service in a better way and doing it faster. That sometimes allows you to
faster. That sometimes allows you to charge more money because you can deliver to premium clients who value time more than money. But that's some extra stuff we'll talk about later on.
What you need to understand here is that you want to make no-brainer offer to people by focusing on their pains, focusing on how you're going to solve them and what happens when you solve them. Then showing proof that you can do
them. Then showing proof that you can do it by either putting a guarantee on it or showing you've done it for people before or doing both. And lastly
charging a fraction of the price to make it a no-brainer and showing them again you understanding them by showing them.
Yeah, I understand. I'm going to make you 30 grand. But no one wants to pay 30 grand for marketing campaign. So I'm
just going to charge three grand and we're going to have both a fair equation. Sounds good to you? Easy done.
equation. Sounds good to you? Easy done.
So now I'm going to sell you my course and I'm going to do so by applying everything I told you in this video and you're going to see the offer is a no-brainer. Why people spend money?
no-brainer. Why people spend money?
where they spend it either because they're in pain or because they want to get something convenient or because they want to get status. I care about making as much money as possible. So, I'll
focus on the pain. I'm going to help you make five grand a month within 90 days.
So, I focus on the outcome. You're
watching this video. So, I already done my job uh helping you find me. I already
saw where people are spending money online. They are buying courses. I
online. They are buying courses. I
already saw most of the course. Ah, so
so so I made a good course and now I'm selling it to you. Now, the last one is how to take their money. I'm gonna see what your pain is, how painful it is, and then create a no-brainer offer. So,
if you currently can't make money online, you're tired of your 9 to5, you want to quit your job, and you want to work remotely, be your own boss, and make 10K a month, me and my team can help you. We helped over 200 Muslims
help you. We helped over 200 Muslims start their own business, alhamdulillah.
Some of which made $48,000 in two months, 42,000, 9.5K revenue in his first month, 8K profit in 6 weeks, and all these other crazy results. If that's
something that sounds good to you, you can apply with the link in the bio and someone will get in touch if you qualify. See how I just sold you a
qualify. See how I just sold you a program and that sounds like a no-brainer.
