We helped Ahmed create a full course about payments with 7+ hours of video content.
After some consultations, we wrote lesson outlines and designed presentations.
After Ahmed recorded lessons with a webcam and a microphone, we edited each video.

- Create a funnel
We used Ahmed’s existing book on Amazon as a lead magnet for the main offer (the $997 course).
This allowed us to liquidate our customer acquisition costs in the frontend. Essentially, we’re getting customers for free for the course.
- Get traffic with Facebook & Instagram Ads
- Sell to companies
Besides selling this course to individuals, we reached out to fintech companies that could benefit from buying this course for training their employees.
This strategy has brought 3 financial companies that have bought copies in bulk (30-60 each).
