    ## Meet Your Host: Zahid Muhammad, Founder of Conzia

    Zahid Muhammad is an entrepreneur, AI educator, and founder of Conzia, an e-commerce and digital marketing company.
    After leaving his 9–5 career in 2018, Zahid began building online businesses. After several unsuccessful product launches, he found a product opportunity and grew his e-commerce businesses to seven figures in sales.

    Today, he shares lessons from his experience with Shopify dropshipping, Amazon selling, product research, AI-powered entrepreneurship, online marketing, and e-commerce. In this workshop, he’ll discuss his journey and what he learned while building and growing online businesses.

    ## Can You Build Passive Income with AI?

    AI can help with research, content, and certain business tasks, but it doesn’t guarantee income. Online businesses take time, testing, customer acquisition, and ongoing management.

    The aim is to understand how to build a business that could become more organized, scalable, and less dependent on your daily input over time.
    Start small. Learn the fundamentals. Test your ideas. Build systems around what works.

    ## Why Attend?

    ✔ Learn practical ways to use AI and ChatGPT for business
    ✔ Explore AI side hustles and online business ideas
    ✔ Understand the basics of Shopify dropshipping and e-commerce
    ✔ Discover business models you can explore alongside a 9–5 job
    ✔ Learn how AI can support product research, marketing, and automation
    ✔ Hear lessons from an entrepreneur who has built seven-figure e-commerce businesses
    ✔ Get a beginner-friendly roadmap for starting an online business
    ✔ Ask questions during the live Q&A

    ## Your 9–5 Pays the Bills. Your Side Business Could Build Your Future.

    You don’t have to change your life overnight. Start by learning one business model, researching one niche, and looking for a real problem customers may pay to solve.
    Join the workshop to learn about building a business with the potential to grow beyond the hours you personally spend working.
