    paper Amazon Europe & Digital Marketing Mastery — Course Project

    This project brings together my expertise in e-commerce, online business, and social media marketing, aimed especially at Turkish-speaking entrepreneurs and professionals who want to succeed in European markets.

    At the core is my trilingual book, which offers practical guidance on Amazon Europe registration, VAT and OSS regulations, packaging licensing (LUCID), and other bureaucratic steps. The book empowers readers with step-by-step strategies to start and grow a digital business in Europe.

    To expand on these topics, I created several video courses on Udemy, including modules on social media marketing, advertising, digital commerce, and bureaucratic workflows. These courses have already reached hundreds of learners who benefit from my clear and actionable teaching style:
    👉 Udemy profile: https://www.udemy.com/user/selim-606/

    Additionally, I run a YouTube playlist in Turkish that provides regular updates and educational content on online sales, digital marketing, and platform regulations. These videos aim to make complex systems easier to understand for small businesses and solo entrepreneurs:

    This project reflects my broader mission to make digital business education accessible, combining book publishing, e-learning, video content creation, and marketing strategy.

    paper Multilingual Book: "This Is A Miracle' said my doctor" – Published in English, German & Turkish

    Project Type: Book Writing & Publishing
    Languages: English, German, Turkish
    Role: Author, Translator, Editor, Designer
    Tools Used: AI-supported editing (ChatGPT), Microsoft Office, Amazon KDP
    Published on: hawloo.eu
    and international platforms

    Project Summary:
    “This Is A Miracle’ said my doctor” is a unique trilingual publication that bridges cultures and languages by offering profound insights on personal development, ethical reflection, and spiritual thought. Written, translated, and edited by myself, the book is available in English, German, and Turkish, targeting a wide international readership.

    This project was entirely self-managed — from conceptualizing the structure and designing the layout to final publishing via Amazon KDP and showcasing it on my personal platform. I combined classical writing with modern tools like AI assistance (e.g. ChatGPT for editing suggestions), ensuring clarity across all three languages while maintaining a personal and reflective tone.

    This book exemplifies my ability to produce high-quality, multilingual, and cross-cultural content, both in print and digitally.

    paper TIME TO REFRESH – Creative Video & Social Media Project

    Project Type: Ongoing Creative Media Series
    Role: Video Editor, Content Creator, Director, Voice Artist, Strategist
    Languages: German, English, Turkish
    Platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram
    View Count: 4+ million views
    Followers/Subscribers: ~8.000 YouTube subscribers

    Project Summary:
    TIME TO REFRESH is an independent digital content project focusing on personal development, spirituality, and media literacy. I created and manage the entire project—from scripting and filming to editing, voice-over, and platform optimization.

    Using high-end equipment and tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, ElevenLabs, ChatGPT, and Firefly, I produce educational and thought-provoking videos with multi-language subtitles. Our unique branding (e.g., the yellow capsule symbol) and Matrix-inspired narratives set the project apart visually and conceptually.

    Shorts, storytelling clips, cinematic sequences, and AI-enhanced visual prompts make TIME TO REFRESH an engaging cross-media experience for modern digital platforms.
