## Transcript

e-commerce. I'll also show you how easy it is to market your online store today. So, if you want to create a store like this one that sells tissues, for example, or this one that sells cosmetics, or this
one that sells only Qurans, or this one that sells beauty items like watches and glasses, all you need to do to reach this level is just four steps. The first step is creating the store, like Shopify, Sla, and Zid, and all these sites that give you the opportunity to
open a store. My advice to you is, if you're opening a store in Saudi Arabia, use Sla, and if you're in Egypt, use Welt. If you search on Google for "create an online store," you'll see all the platforms I mentioned, including one called Ba3na. I created an account on it
to show you how quick it is. As soon as you create an account, you'll see the statistics, and you can even access your store. My store doesn't have any products; all you have to do is customize the layout and add products. Now, the next step... The second option is to find the product you
want to sell. If you can manufacture the products yourself, that's settled. But if you want to import products from outside your country, you can use websites like Alibaba or AliExpress, or even Saudi websites that already offer this service. On Alibaba, you'll find
Saudi companies that handle everything for you: sourcing the goods, storing them, and even shipping them. So, for the product, you can either manufacture it yourself, have others import it for you, or order it online from any country you want.
You can even collaborate directly with the factory and have them ship the product to your customer's location. Of course, once you have the product, you're responsible for delivery. There are international and local delivery companies. If you prefer local companies, you can use
the apps within the website you want. For example, if you're using the Sla website, there are apps for shipping and logistics companies within the site itself. These companies are...  Some companies store the product for you and deliver it, while others only deliver. All you have to do is
go to the company you like and partner with them to get the delivery. For example, here I went to Bandar Logistics Services. I'll show you their services, prices, advantages, and everything else. Of course, in the business world, it's known that the customer pays for delivery unless you
want to add it to the price and include it. So, after you've opened your store, received the goods, and completed the delivery process, your store is fully operational. The final step is marketing, and now I'll show you how easy it is to market your online store.
For this, I'll use a website called Beth.ae. This website has four very distinctive features. The first is that it has all the artificial intelligence tools in
one place. The second feature is that you can use it in Arabic. Just click on the top button, select the language, and switch to Arabic.  Now the site is available in Arabic, and you can even use it in Arabic. A third advantage is that it literally doesn't require any experience because most of the tools don't need
any complicated settings, and some don't even need settings at all. A fourth advantage is that it's a website, so you can open it from your computer browser or your phone's browser, log in to the same account, and do the same thing. Let me show you how I'll use this site. For example, if I have
this store with all these products on a white background, and I take this product and want to add a background or an image to it because the store here has it in low quality and not very clear, I've now downloaded the product image to my computer and will access this
site through the quick ads feature. As soon as I click on it, it will show me all these templates. I'll display all the templates, and they will all be in front of me. Since the product I have here is a women's perfume, I'll now look at the perfume templates. This is the template  It looks
great, and now I'll try uploading the image to it. Now, this template—where the perfume image I put here will be— will convert to this style. This style I have is a video, so I can choose whether to make it a video or an image. I'll try making it an image first. I'll
take the file (the perfume image) and put it on the website. As soon as the website takes the image, it tells me to start creating it. I click the "Create" button, and the As soon as the website takes the image, it tells me to start creating it. I click the "Create" button, and the I simply converted the blurry perfume image (the one with the white background) into this professional image. I can even download
the image directly with the download button, or do things like edit the image, enlarge it, move it, or convert it to a video. But let me show you what I can do with the editing feature. After I click the edit button, it will take me to this feature
called image editing, and here I can edit this image in any way I want. I can edit this image in any way I want. Here, when I decided to add a 50% discount message to the back of Here, when I decided to add a 50% discount message to the back of the perfume bottle, I tried writing "Add 50% discount message" in a
professional style. Then I told it in Arabic, in white, and with a suitable font. Of course, that's all you need to do to write a professional message. The most important thing is to literally provide details like the font color, the font itself, or the font language. Here, because I didn't even know the
name of the font I wanted, I told it a suitable font so it could choose one for me. But if I hadn't told it the language, it might have written it in English. So, just so you can communicate with this AI, you only need to provide details; you don't need to say anything else. After I told it to do it, this is how
the image turned out. It added the word "discount" and wrote "50" next to it, and it didn't even put the letter "L." I think sometimes it takes things from me, or sometimes I have to tell it to do them by force, not to edit them, because I told it in a professional style, so maybe it didn't put the letter "L."
Just put a 50% discount, and honestly, it looks better without the percent sign. But what I liked about it is that percent sign. But what I liked about it is that even the words "discount" and "50%" are on them, unlike the image here. So it created a very elegant design for me. I can now sell this image on
social media and use it for my store. But now let me try modifying the image in a different way. I want to try adding another image to this one and let the AI ​​combine them. So I will click on the image icon below. Here, the perfume image has
another image icon next to it. I upload another image and choose, for example, an image of a woman that would suit the perfume, like the one here. Now I have two images: the perfume image and the second image of a woman. So now I can modify the two images and tell it what to do with the first image and what to do with the second image. Here, I
told it to make the girl use the perfume instead of the cream because if I upload an image of a girl holding cream and then upload the image of the perfume, and even  I will tell him now what the dimensions of the image are, so I want to put its subject in 2K and I want the dimensions of the image, which is whether it should be square, or length or width, how should the image be?
I wanted the image to be square, and now I'm creating a program that makes the image I want. The image is ready. This girl is using my perfume, and now I have this image of the perfume in this clean format. I also have this image with a 50% discount. I created all these images
from this single image, which wasn't even clear. The great thing about artificial intelligence today is that it doesn't distort details. The same text written here is also written here accurately; it doesn't distort the writing or its details. It's also very important that you can adjust your images. For
example, this abaya shop had this girl, and she took the picture with her iPhone. I just told the program to adjust the image, and it turned out like this. I asked them to take a camera shot for a professional, advertising look, and I told them to make the girl smile. And that's it, the image is ready. This was the
website Bath.ae, and on it, you can do whatever you want. You can even convert the images you create into videos using this feature. So if you want to convert Your photos can be turned into a video. Just go to the "Create Photo to Video" feature, or wherever you are, and click the animation button. This is one example of a perfume image that
was converted into this image, and then the image was converted into a video. The Momento perfume is amazing and very video. The Momento perfume is amazing and very powerful. And that's how you can easily create
ads for your products. Of course, there are many other features on the site, but these are the three most important ones if you want to start a project or e-commerce business. So tell me in the comments how your experience with e-commerce will be and what you will use to market your online store.
and what you will use to market your online store.
