The 'simple' way of doing business on Amazon that Pakistanis are earning millions
. The nature of the work was such that there was always the worry that some senior would call out 'Oi'." I used to ask myself if this is my future.
This is what Abdullah Tariq, who belongs to Lahore, is working as a 'seller and service provider' in the world's most famous e-commerce website 'Amazon' these days.
Abdullah is also encouraging and training others like him to take advantage of the business opportunities in the e-commerce industry instead of working in private or government agencies by setting up his own service provider agency.
What Abdullah said about his tenure is not a very old story but only a few months ago.
Last year, when the global epidemic of corona virus was affecting the economy for two consecutive years in Pakistan like the rest of the world, then they came to know about Amazon while searching for online business or work.
Abdullah Tariq currently works as a seller and service provider at Amazon, a world-renowned e-commerce website.
He says that some time ago, I had suffered a lot of loss in an attempt to do business through the Internet. I used to sell shirts, mugs and other items online that people could have their images or text printed on. I had a strong grip on product manufacturing, but choosing a courier company to deliver these items to the customer led to the end of the business.
Abdullah says that in June last year, he came to know about 'Brackley Learning', which was offering free business courses on Amazon.

A resident of Islamabad, Kainat Umar is a mother of three, who, like Abdullah, is running a successful business through 'Amazon'.
Kainat says, "My mother was a teacher, so she wanted me to become a doctor or a teacher, but I had no interest in these two fields." I chose technology, did software engineering, thenAfter that, I got a job and continued my studies, while doing my MS, I got married.
She says that life started revolving around children after marriage, when the children started going to school, I started trying to work. I started a clothing business, then started another business, but sometimes there were problems with suppliers and sometimes some other problems and I had to stop working, all these were home-based, but in all this there was a significant financial loss.

How is business possible through Amazon in Pakistan?
An organization in Lahore named Brackley Learning was providing training to the public regarding business on Amazon
Is. It was founded by Usman Akhtar about eight months ago. Abdullah and Kainat are also running their own business and agency after being trained by him.
"The safest business model on Amazon while in Pakistan is to buy items that are already for sale there and sell them to a buyer on the same website," Usman explains. Give the product seller the buyer's address for delivery and collect the price from the buyer along with your profit. In this model you don't even have to stock the product and it is called drop shipping.

Kainat Umar says of her learning journey, 'My initial knowledge of trying to learn about Amazon on the internet was that drop shipping can be risky and risky. After being intimidated by dropshipping into two large online groups, when I looked at other options, I realized that they needed thousands of dollars to get started, which I didn't have.
She explains that she was about to turn away when she learned of a new Amazon group called Brackley. . 'Obviously it was free, so why not?'
In that free training course, the executives of Brickley Company not only explained to us but also showed us their active drop shipping accounts on Amazon which were performing very well. After my mind understood all that, only one thing arose that if so many people can do this successfully, why not me?'
