Who he is

Abdelrahman started selling at school at 16, candy to his classmates. His first online sale was to a friend, from a Shopify store he built himself.

Since then he has worked in e-commerce in Egypt every day: choosing products, building Shopify stores, running Facebook and Instagram ads, and confirming cash-on-delivery orders on WhatsApp before shipping.

By his own figures, the stores he has worked on have made over 5,000,000 EGP in sales in a year and a half, and he has over 1,000 students.

What he teaches

E-commerce the way it actually works in Egypt today:

  • Product research: finding a product people already look for, without buying big stock.
  • The store: a complete Shopify store that looks trustworthy and is ready to sell.
  • Ads: a first Meta (Facebook + Instagram) ad and how to read the numbers.
  • Cash on delivery: confirming each order on WhatsApp before shipping, to cut returns.
  • The math: selling price, profit, and the most you can pay for ads per order without losing money.

One goal: the first real order from your own store.

The course

  • Price: 2,500 EGP, paid once. Not a subscription.

  • Language: Egyptian Arabic.

There is no easy money here and nobody can guarantee profit. You learn real work, and the result depends on how much you apply.

INTENTIONS, the company behind him

Abdelrahman founded INTENTIONS in May 2025. It builds the systems behind his work: WhatsApp bots that take and confirm orders, Instagram bots that answer people, and AI tools that make ad creatives and cut videos. He is also a co-founder of GT Media.
