The Make Halal Money Online Challenge is officially open.
On September 27–29, I’m teaching the full process: how to spot the opportunity, decide what to sell, build the offer, create faceless content, use AI, and get your first customers.
If you’ve been sitting on the internet consuming while knowing you should be building something, come thru.
If I had to start from zero and build a faceless Muslim brand that could eventually make $313 a day bi idhnillah, here’s how I’d do it.
I’d start with the market.
1. Pick one specific type of Muslim.
“Muslims” is too broad.
I’d rather build for Muslim mothers trying to homeschool, Muslim professionals trying to build wealth, Muslim women trying to dress modestly, Muslim students trying to generate side income, Muslim founders trying to grow online, or Muslims trying to learn Qur’an.
The clearer the person, the easier it becomes to figure out what to post, what to sell, and what language will make them stop scrolling.
2. Find a problem they are already trying to solve.
But before creating anything, I’d spend a little time researching.
I’d look through Reddit, TikTok comments, Instagram comments, YouTube, reviews of existing products, Google searches, communities, and competitors.
I’m looking for repeated patterns.
What are people frustrated by?
What have they already tried?
What do they keep asking someone to explain?
What result do they want badly enough that they are already spending money trying to get it?
That becomes the raw material for the business.
3. Turn one problem into the smallest useful digital product.
Take the problem and ask:
“What would someone need to know, decide, or do to get from where they are now to the result they want?”
Write every step down on your own first. Then use ChatGPT to fill in the gaps. Then remove anything that isn’t necessary.
What remains becomes your product.
For example, imagine I found Muslim women constantly asking how to start homeschooling but feeling overwhelmed.
Instead of making a giant homeschooling course, I might create:
The Muslim Homeschool Starter Kit
Inside:
• A curriculum comparison sheet
• A first-year planning template
• A weekly homeschool schedule
• A supply checklist
• A list of Islamic resources
• A 30-day getting-started plan
That is a product.
You can create most simple digital products with Google Docs, Canva, Notion, spreadsheets, AI, or a combination of them.
Your product does not need to contain everything you know. It just needs to help someone reach the next result faster, easier, or with less confusion.
I’d build version one quickly, sell it, listen to customers, and make it better from there.
4. Build a faceless content engine around that exact problem.
Once I know what I’m selling and who I’m selling to, content becomes much easier.
Create posts around the questions I found during my research and alternate the objective of each post:
Teach something:
The 4 things I’d decide before choosing any homeschool curriculum.
Expose a mistake:
Why copying another homeschool mom’s routine usually doesn’t work.
Change how they think:
You do not need to recreate school at home for your child to get a good education
Demonstrate the product:
POV: You stop planning homeschool from scratch every Sunday
Straight up sell:
Everything I’d want before starting my first month of homeschool
Now the content and the product are connected.
Someone discovers you because you answered a question they already had. They consume more of your content because you understand their problem. Eventually, your product becomes the natural next step when they are ready.
5. Work backward from $313/day.
This is one of my favorite ways to think about online business!! I love math.
$313/day is roughly $9,390/month.
So instead of asking:
“How do I make $10,000 a month?”
I’d ask:
“What combination of price × customers gets me there?”
A $19 product needs about 16 sales/day.
A $39 product needs about 8 sales/day.
A $79 product needs about 4 sales/day.
A $159 product needs about 2 sales/day.
Already, the goal feels different.
Then I work backwards again.
Say my product is $39.
I need roughly 8 buyers a day.
If 2% of qualified visitors buy, I need around 400 people reaching my sales page each day.
Now I have an actual business problem to solve:
How do I consistently get 400 qualified people to see this offer?
-You get a few viral reels
-10 smaller posts compound.
-SEO (and AEO - don’t sleep on it I make sales through this) sends traffic every day.
-An email list does it.
-Affiliates help.
Or combine all the above.
This is why I like working backward so much.
Revenue tells you how many customers you need.
Your price tells you how many sales you need.
Your conversion rate tells you how much traffic you need.
And suddenly “I want to make money online” becomes a series of numbers and problems you can actually work on.
That’s the game to play.
There is an enormous Muslim internet being built in front of us right now.
You can build something useful for a very specific group of people, distribute it without showing your face, and turn that attention into a real business.
If you want me to show you how I’d actually do this from zero, come join me September 27–29.
