Seeking advice to attract sales for my handmade candle business 🙏🏼

Hello fellow small business owners!!

I am at my wits end with my handmade candle business that I recently started. Before starting I thought that I would use quick commerce websites to sell the candles as a gift option that plan however did not work out as the cost for onboarding is not something that I can afford at this time, in future I do plan to take that route. For now, I am struggling a lot, I have not had any sales in the last month, not even one.

I use premium quality soy wax, essential oils for fragrance and the cost is quite competitive. I have already made a 100 posts on Insta and have had no luck with sales there. Please help me understand what can be the other avenues to sell my craft? I want to opt for the corporate orders and return favours but even 3/4 candles sold per day would be fine for now.

Any insights to grow my sales would bemuch much appreciated, please don't hesitate being brutal if it is necessary.

A directory for Muslim founders, builders, and their companies

Check out what the Ummah.Build guys put together:

It’s basically a directory of Muslim founders/builders across the ecosystem.

Super useful if you want to see who’s building, find people to support, discover startups, or get a better sense of how much is actually happening in the community.

Neighbor's sister wants to be a Criminal Lawyer after 12th — parents won't send her to a big city. Need genuine advice.

Salam,

Posting this for someone I know personally so bear with me.

She just finished 12th, really smart girl, wants to do criminal law. Family has money, that's not the issue. Issue is her parents are scared to send her alone to a metro city. They're extra protective in general. Local college options are genuinely bad — people who studied there regret it.

Things I'm hoping someone here can help with —

Is there a way to convince parents like these that their daughter will be safe? Something practical, not just "trust her.".

And if anyone here is actually working in criminal law — please could you give her a rough roadmap? Exams, colleges worth it, how the early years look, realistic timeline. Even a DM is fine.

She has everything it takes. Just needs the right doors to open. JazakAllah khair 🤲

Lately, it feels like a lot of conversations on this subreddit are leaning more towards negativity than growth, and honestly, we can do better as a community.

What if we focused more on empowering each other instead?

What’s one skill you have that you’d be willing to teach or guide someone in, so they can build a more secure future?

It could be anything, career advice, financial literacy, communication skills, navigating workplace challenges, anything that can genuinely help someone move forward.

I can help with communication and personality development, building CVs, and general career guidance.

Mentorship for final-year students looking for jobs/internships

Hi everyone,

As a corporate sales professional working in the hiring ecosystem, I receive a handful of cold emails and job applications on a daily basis from final-year students and early-career professionals. However, most of the applications fail to stand out for many reasons (e.g., improper resume/CV format, poor email etiquette, lack of attention to detail, and many more).

After thinking about this for a long time, I’ve decided to offer free mentorship to students who genuinely want guidance. I can help with:

  • Resume/CV building,
  • Job & internship search strategy,
  • Cold emails and outreach,
  • Interview basics,
  • Email etiquette.

I can mentor up to 2 people per week.

This is mainly for final-year undergraduate or master’s students who are looking to enter the corporate sector. Students looking for internships are also welcome to reach out.

Please note that this is completely free of cost, and I’m doing this in my personal capacity. Kindly reach out only if you are genuinely interested and willing to put in effort.

Every Muslim talks about starting a business… very few actually start🤍

Assalamu Alaikum 🤍

Perfume has always had a special place in Islam.

It’s clean. It’s elegant. It’s sunnah.
And today, it’s also one of the smartest businesses to get into.

People spend lakhs opening stores, stocking clothes, managing sizes, returns, dead inventory…

Meanwhile fragrance is simple:
good product = repeat customers.

But most people get stuck before they even start.

One vendor for fragrance.
Another for bottles.
Another for boxes.
Huge MOQs.
No proper guidance.
Too much confusion.

That’s the gap I solve.

If you want to launch your own perfume line, I handle the complete process:

• 100+ inspired fine fragrances
• High quality oils
• Bottle sourcing
• Filling + bottling
• Packaging + boxes
• White label support
• Complete guidance from start to finish

Minimum MOQ: 500 pieces - 50ml or 20ml

This is perfect for:
• Clothing brands
• Islamic stores/pages
• Accessories brands
• Anyone serious about building a real business

You don’t need a factory.
You don’t need years of experience.
You just need to start properly.

DM if you’re serious

Assalamu Alaikum.

Join us in building cutting-edge AI apps. I am looking for an exceptional Product Designer who can contribute a few hours daily and help define the future of our products.

Edit: This isn’t a full-time opportunity at the moment, it’s more of a side gig. If things go well for everyone, In Sha Allah, we can consider transitioning it into a full-time role.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Recently I came across an impressive initiative by Muslims in Kerala called Markaz Knowledge City. It is a large, integrated educational township that brings together schools, colleges, research centers, healthcare, and community facilities in one place, with a focus on both modern education and Islamic values.

If you are a Muslim student in India exploring college options, this is worth keeping in mind when applying.

Welcome to r/IndianMuslimNetwork

Assalamualaikum 👋

Many of us have felt the lack of a space where Indian Muslim students and professionals can meaningfully connect. Not in a formal or performative way, but in a way that allows for honest conversations and shared growth.

We’re all navigating studies, careers, and skill-building, often without a clear roadmap or the right network. This community aims to provide that space.

A place to share opportunities, seek guidance, and help each other move forward.

Alongside careers, this is also a space to discuss community upliftment, whether that’s education, access to opportunities, financial awareness, or supporting each other in building more stable and independent futures.

Before you introduce yourself, take a moment to set your user flair so others can quickly understand your stage and connect with you.

Introduce yourself:

– What are you studying or working in?

– What skills are you building?

– What are you currently looking for?

A couple of things to keep clear:

This is not a place to compete or show off.

And it’s not a place for debates that go nowhere.

We’re here for growth, opportunity, and helping each other build better futures.

Let’s build something valuable together.

If we look at other communities, many have treated education as a priority, and it reflects in their presence across professions and decision-making spaces. Respect often follows competence and contribution.

This isn’t about comparison, it’s about direction. If we want change, we need to invest in knowledge, skills, and mentorship with the same seriousness. Because in today’s world, education is not just about degrees. It determines who gets heard, who influences decisions, and who shapes the future.

Does anyone know of NGOs or centers in their area where people can upskill or even volunteer to teach? Also, does anyone here do volunteer work in schools or colleges? Or of any other kind? Perhaps we could inspire and guide one another and even connect to take this forward.
