## About the Organizer

Hi, I'm Zahid, founder and CEO of Conzia Inc.

I started my career in the corporate world before eventually leaving my job and focusing on entrepreneurship.

When I first entered ecommerce, I had to learn through experimentation, mistakes and experience.

Over the years, I went on to build and work with multiple online businesses using Shopify and Amazon.

Today, I share what I've learned about ecommerce, Shopify, Amazon, AI, digital marketing and entrepreneurship through free meetups and educational workshops.

More than 20,000 entrepreneurs have joined our communities, meetups and webinars.

# 💰 FREE LIVE WORKSHOP: Build a Second Income Online Using AI in 2026

💻 100% Online | ✅ Free to Attend | 🔴 Live Q&A
One salary is becoming increasingly risky. AI is giving ordinary people new tools to build additional income streams.
In this free live workshop, I’ll show you practical ways beginners are using AI + online business models to start building a second income in 2026.
No coding.
No technical background.
No previous business experience required.
This is not a get-rich-quick presentation and there are no guaranteed results.
It is a practical introduction to the opportunities available today and how you can choose a realistic starting point based on your skills, time and budget.
👉 RSVP now. Seats are limited.

## DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

✔ You depend mainly on one salary and want another source of income
✔ You keep hearing about AI but aren't sure how to turn it into something practical
✔ You want to start an online business but don't know which model to choose
✔ You're working a 9–5 and have limited time
✔ You have too many ideas and need a clear place to start
If so, this workshop is designed for you.

## 🎯 WHO THIS IS FOR

✔ 9–5 professionals who want to build income alongside their job
✔ Complete beginners exploring online business
✔ Freelancers and solopreneurs looking for additional revenue streams
✔ Aspiring entrepreneurs who want to start small and learn by doing
✔ Anyone interested in using AI to reduce the time and cost of launching a business

## 🔥 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

✔ Which AI-powered income models make sense for beginners in 2026
We’ll look at models including:
Shopify • Amazon • Digital Products • Print on Demand • Affiliate Marketing • Content Monetization
✔ How AI changes the economics of starting a small business
Use AI for:
• Product and niche research
• Competitor analysis
• Content creation
• Marketing ideas
• Customer research
• Automation
✔ How to find products, niches and problems worth testing
Instead of randomly launching something, learn how to look for real demand.
✔ How to get your first customers
Including ways to start generating attention without immediately relying on large advertising budgets.
✔ How to choose ONE income stream to start with
You do not need seven businesses.
You need one model that fits your situation, then you can build from there.
✔ The biggest mistakes beginners make
And how to avoid wasting months jumping from opportunity to opportunity.

## 💡 THE BIG SHIFT

The traditional model is simple:
Work → Salary → Wait for the next raise.
AI is creating another option:
Learn → Build → Test → Create additional income streams.
AI does not remove the need for work.
But it can dramatically reduce the time, cost and technical barriers involved in researching, launching and operating a small online business.
That is the opportunity I want to show you.

## 👋 YOUR HOST

I'm Zahid, an entrepreneur working across Shopify, Amazon and AI-powered online businesses.
I started my own online-business journey while working a regular job and eventually built my first store to $10K/month.
Today, I teach entrepreneurs and professionals how to use AI, eCommerce and online-business models to create additional sources of income.
My goal with this workshop is simple:
Give you enough clarity to know what you should do next.

## ✅ YOU'LL LEAVE WITH

By the end of the session, you should understand:
✔ Which online income model fits you best
✔ Which AI tools can help you start
✔ What you actually need to invest
✔ What to avoid
✔ Your first practical next step
Plus, we'll finish with a live Q&A, so bring your questions.

One hour. One clear starting point. Start building your second income.
