ASSALAMU ALAIKUM STEEMIT FAMILY!
INTRODUCTION
My name is @muhammadalizeb and I’m a student who always dreamed of doing something productive alongside studies. In this post I will share my small journey into the world of entrepreneurship and how I started a microbusiness with very little investment but big hopes
THE IDEA
Everything started with a simple idea:
“Why not use the skills I already have to earn and help others?”
I had some experience in [Graphic Designing / Content Writing / Online Selling / Affiliate Marketing etc.], so I decided to give it a try professionally.
PLANNING PHASE
Before jumping in, I asked myself:
• What am I good at?
• What value can I offer?
• Who would be my customers?
I made a simple 1-page business plan that included:
My service/product
Target audience
Tools/platforms needed (like Fiverr, Facebook Page, WhatsApp Business, etc.)
EXECUTION
I started by:
Creating a basic logo and brand name
Making an Instagram and Facebook business page
Reaching out to friends and local contacts
My first service was [e.g., “logo design at very low cost just to build trust”].
GROWTH & CHALLENGES
In the first month I got only 2 clients.
But I remained consistent Slowly word of mouth and returning customers started coming.
Challenges I faced
Time managment because of university madrassa
Dealing with difficlt clients
Staying motivated during dry days
WHAT I LEARNED
You dont need big investmnt just consistency.
Always tret your customers with respect.
Never stop larning and improving your skills.
FINAL THOUGHTS
If you're thinking about starting a small business — start now!
You already have something valuable. Turn that into a service or product and start small.
Entrepreneurship is not about having everything figured out; it’s about learning as you go.
