Today's Friday Sermon was frightening and mind-blowing.

The Imam (may Allaah preserve him upon goodness) talked about Piety, Sadaqah (charity) and how tough things are with people at the moment.

The sermon trembled the mind and frightened the hearts.

To the extent that I wish I could empty my pocket to do sadaqah but unfortunately the pocket is emptied already.

Two poor people can hardly help each other

Then, a thought cropped up in my mind. If you can't give out money to help others, you get something you can offer that could help them (in the form of profitable practical business ideas)

Going forward, I will do my best to create time to make 5 posts on 5 practical businesses anyone can implement to augment his income or solve his money problems during these tough economic moments.

I will try to make the post as practical as I can. The posts will be centered on 5 practical businesses I have done/doing myself and that I believe any person can give a try.

Let me briefly mention those businesses here for now;

1. Dry Cleaning Business (during my tough moments, I make #27k - #29k per week doing this business on the side)

2. Ice Block Business (I made a minimum of #5k - #10k per day while I was running this business) I made this daily #10k between 4am - 9am daily, from 9am I returned to the dry cleaning office to run other online pursuits.

3. Blogging (recently I was introduced to the secrets of how to make money from blogging).

If you can religiously implement these secrets, you stand the chance of making $100 per month from 6 months, God Willing.

It's a paid class though, I will still implore whoever can take up this opportunity to do so.

4. Domain Investing: I have been evangelizing domain flipping business for a while. I will share the link to learn how to do this business.

I can also influence my mentor to train ready minds on this business, it's just that he can't do it for free based on our past discussions.

I believe paid or free, the business is a good side hustle and I believe available resources online are enough for those who can take time to study them.

Of course, it's a knowledge-based business, good for whoever can do extensive research and get $200 - $300 to start buying and selling domain names.

5. I will share practical steps on how to make money with SEO & Copywriting as well.

So help me God.

I believe this would be a means to help others if they can implement those ideas diligently, at least, your money pressure will be a bit reduced, God Willing.

I share this post now to make myself accountable, sincerely I run crazy hectic schedule.

You may not need to come to my inbox asking me to teach you any of these businesses but this is what you can do.

Once I drop those posts, ask whatever questions you have, I will do my best to answer, by God Grace.

Of course, I will make the post as comprehensive and all encompassing as I can.

So help me God.

Dayyib. May Allah reward you.
