Move to England

Ahmed has said he insisted on going to England, and his father had to sell a plot in Lahore. He left rural Bahawalpur for the UK on a student visa. He has said he went to England in 2011 on a study visa but did not go there to study. [1]

In England he worked in packing jobs, at an Amazon warehouse and at a gas station, including 18-hour shifts. He has said he went to Pakistan because he was no longer attending college. [1]

Amazon business

Ahmed has said his first brand dated from 2012. He has said he suddenly told his boss he was resigning, and that his first listing was a V-pillow. He has said his profit in the first month was double his salary, and that in the early days almost any product listed on Amazon got orders the next morning. [1]

He has said it reached 1,000 to 1,500 orders a day, and that he bought a plot in Lahore and built a triple-studio house from the V-pillow product. He has also said he visited the Canton Fair once, in 2015 or 2016. [1]

Loss of the business

The business was lost overnight when his partner locked him out. Ahmed has said that after he settled the business and went to Pakistan, his partner in the UK later committed fraud against him. He has said he was the owner of a large business at night and woke up the next morning at zero. [1]

Work in Pakistan

Ahmed came back to Pakistan, restarted with zero capital and built income streams in e-commerce, trading and services. He has said he started again afterwards. He and two partners flipped an asset worth $300,000 in Pakistan. [1]

Ahmed has said he wanted to start something of his own, and that he decided in 2020 to do so. He has said that, having built a name of his own, he wanted to keep the whole chunk himself. He has said he ran seminars in every city in Pakistan and sold many courses in Pakistan. [1]

Agency and services

Ahmed has said he set up his own agency and began offering services. He has said his team decides what a client should sell and does the product hunting. His team charged a fixed amount: a one-time charge, then a monthly charge. [1]

Ahmed has said he has more than 400 clients. He has said he still runs his own stores, but services now earn him more money. He has also said an organisation approached him officially to deliver a free Amazon course for all of Pakistan, and that the government took 24 hours of content from him and put it up. [1]

Trading and online audience

Ahmed has said he bought Bitcoin for $350 around 2013 or 2014. He has said he has brought guests onto his channel to talk about investment, trading and finance, and that he shares weekly results from his signals group. He has said his team provides free live classes every weekend. [1]

Ahmed has said his combined following across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube is about 3.67 million. He has said an AI-made video of him on TikTok promoted paid job listings, which he says he never said. [1]

Views

On trading, Ahmed has said people should do forex or crypto trading themselves rather than hand their investment to someone else. He has said forex is for people who have $100 or $200, and that the biggest forex losses come from greed, because people do not set stop losses. He has said he has people place stop losses. [1]

On business, Ahmed has said he once bought a product for $10, ran ads until the cost reached $19, and sold it for $20. He has said that for people who come to build their own brand, about 30% succeed and 70% fail. He has said personal branding is a good base on which overall marketing is built. He has said that in the AI era, building a polished company can take a single night, and that human stories are now the real value, because anyone can make a polished product with AI. [1]

Ahmed has said he believes education and exposure teach a person a great deal. He has said Pakistan has so much negativity that people think effort is pointless, and that people who earn money and succeed often come from humble backgrounds. He has said Pakistan suits anyone earning in dollars, and that earning in dollars means inflation in Pakistan is not felt as much. He has said his main motto is not to rely on one income stream, and that he believes about 90% of people who get free material open it and then disappear. [1]
