Ep.11: Amazon success story - interview with Hajra & Umair
We interview the hugely inspiring Hajra and Umair, a Muslim couple running a successful Amazon business. They talk about their journey of going from zero to having a successful, semi-automated Amazon business, tips on how you can get started (including an old-school way to find your niche), their failures and so much more!
If you want to get in touch with Hajra and Umair, contact us through www.islamicfinanceguru.com/contact-us.
P.S Hajra and Umair couldn't tell you what niche they're in exactly because publicising that for the world to hear isn't great for a business that relies on its uncompetitive niche! But the tips they give will stand you in good stead to go off and find your own.
