Build a free online store for local Pakistani shops and take 1–10% of every online sale, they pay nothing unless they earn.
Thousands of shops across Pakistan — clothing stores, grocery stores, bakeries, medical stores, boutiques — have no online presence. Not because they don't want one, but because hiring a developer feels expensive and risky, and running it themselves feels too technical. This creates a perfect opportunity: you offer to build and manage their online store for free, and in return you take 1–10% of every sale that comes through online. They only pay when they earn. The risk is entirely yours — the upside is shared.
You build a Shopify or local WooCommerce store for them, connect a payment method like Easypaisa, JazzCash, or bank transfer, photograph their products, and handle order management. The shop owner fulfils orders and pays you your cut. With just 3–5 active stores each generating Rs. 20,000–100,000 in monthly online sales, your revenue share can be Rs. 15,000–100,000/month — all recurring, all from businesses you helped from zero.
