Addendum:
Ali: After the interview was over i realized that i missed some key words of advise such as strategy.
like i go after one of 3 things when going after a project faster, better, cheaper
u pick one and you go after it
take pizza for example
some pizza companies advertise deals on price, other market after better ingredients and other market at
getting you the pizza faster
papa johns slogan is better pizza, better ingredients
so they go after better
and pizza hut has 5 5 5 deal
3 pizzas for $5 each
so they go for cheaper
u get the picture
i missed that and forgot to speak about dealing with competition
how to make yourself stand out against a market that is flooded
maybe if we do a part 2 or another interview in the future (halfourdeen), i can cover this stuff
Ibn Halal: cool inshaAllah
Im thinking to take, say 12 businesses, and help them to get started or grow their business
btw, for your pre order, as u know Islamically u cant sell something u dont own/have, so do u charge them after u ship to them? or how
Ali: this is why i havent publically mentioned the site
i havent collected money from anyone regarding the game
i dont have pre-orders
the site is done and ready for launch
im just waiting for the game before i announce the launch
14 days by boat and another 2 or 3 days for delivery
Ibn Halal: oh, i thought u said, one can pre-order on the site
Ali: i hope i didnt
if i wanted to do preorders i would have launched the site
maybe i accidentally said it
i dont want to sell something i dont have in my hands yet
