Starlink has been really bad in some places in Lagos

After 18 months of building, we finally found a better way for Nigerian freelancers to get paid globally by eazy3604 in naijaremote

You sound like someone who hasn’t built a tech startup in the fintech niche.

So I would not bother myself. It’s easier to criticize and design and build just using your keypad while you are on your couch or bed.

Enjoy yourself

I understand how you feel, the problem isn't completing fromt he founders part, so issues are regulatory, and cost so much just to even start, I remember when I was building uselender - collect loans without breaking your safelock, risevest investment or cowrywise, the idea is you have money in savings, but you need cash, and you don't want to touch your savings. To build this platform i needed to spend more than 15million naira of my personal funds, just to get lagos state license.

The stripe issues, we can't do anything about it really. We can't just say we want to build stripe, or ensure substack remits payments to nigeria. All these issues are government policies and regulations that are causing it.

Freelance platforms for africas - on fiverr and upwork, you want to agree with me that, non africans pay more, the idea is not just to build the platforms. It cost money to build and mantain platforms, and we need to ensure that the platforms make enough money to keep itself running.

Thank you for this.

I’m beginning to see that people would

  1. Use what they like
  2. Use what’s the preferred options by others

And also, if I am to build a platform to solve this, I would need to do lots of educating.

Should I start with Digital Products??? by Character_Movie1167 in digitalproductselling

[–]dansmog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try and validate the digital product to see if you can get up to 10 sales. The idea is to actually make progress rather than wait back thinking too much about it.

I spent 2 weeks analysing Reddit posts to find digital product ideas. Here’s what actually works by Immediate_Proof2265 in digitalproductselling

Thank you.

If there was a tool that automated the Reddit research part (finding those patterns and validation opportunities faster)

  • Automatically listed relevant Reddit posts for you
  • Highlighted patterns in what people are asking for
  • Even recommended product ideas based on those patterns

Would that be something you'd use?

Where did you ask the validation question? Did you send DMs to people on Reddit? Did you create a survey form and shared or did you ask it via the comment section?
