0:00Over the last 6 months, my SaaS
0:01businesses have generated over 100
0:03million CFA francs in total revenue.
0:05These are online software programs
0:06built right here in Dakar and paid for
0:08by African clients in most cases. And
0:11today, I'm going to give you 11 free
0:13SaaS ideas you can launch in 2026 here
0:15in Africa. We aren't talking about
0:17recycled ideas from American videos,
0:20but markets I see as empty myself on
0:22the ground. And for each of these ideas
0:24, I will give you the problem, the
0:25profitable solution, and how much it
0:27can earn you. Hi, I'm Amadou, and on
0:29this channel, I show you how the SaaS
0:31business really works with my own
0:33numbers, my own products, and my own
0:35observations from everyday life. So,
0:38before we start, let's just agree on
0:40one thing so everyone can follow along,
0:42okay? A SaaS is an online software that
0:46people pay for via a monthly
0:47subscription, like Netflix, Canva, Wave
0:49, or even Spotify. You build it once,
0:52and as long as the customer stays
0:54subscribed, they will pay you every
0:55month. And it is this idea of "every
0:57month" that makes all the numbers you
0:59will see in this video possible. So,
1:01keep that idea firmly in mind. And next
1:03, we need to establish a rule before we
1:05start. Agreed? So, listen to me
1:07carefully. A good SaaS idea isn't
1:09necessarily a stroke of genius. It's
1:12simply a problem that people,
1:13individuals, or professionals
1:15experience every week, every day, and
1:17for which no one is selling a solution
1:19yet. And you will see that there is a
1:21pattern that comes up all the time.
1:24Every time we talk about a business,
1:25we're going to talk about notebooks and
1:27WhatsApp. Whenever you see a business
1:30being managed with a notebook and
1:31WhatsApp messages, there is definitely
1:33a SaaS to be built. It’s systematic.
1:36So remember this, because it will
1:37really be useful to you. And one last
1:39thing before we attack: among these 11
1:41ideas I'm going to present, there is
1:43one that an entrepreneur I mentor has
1:45already launched for real with a
1:47product that exists online, and I will
1:49show it to you along the way. So if
1:51that's clear, let's go. We are going to
1:52start with business number 1. Let's go.
1:54Idea number 1: property management for
1:57building managers and owners. And I'm
2:00starting with this one because the
2:02problem is brutal and no one is solving
2:04it for the moment. So, think about any
2:06rental building around you. How many
2:09are there? There are maybe 8, 10, 12
2:11apartments per building. Behind that,
2:14there’s always someone managing it,
2:16or an agency, a manager, a landlord, or
2:18even a family member in most cases,
2:20because don't forget that agencies take
2:22a percentage. So, there are many people
2:25who manage their buildings themselves.
2:27And for those people, every month is
2:28the same living hell. They have to
2:30chase the rent from each tenant one by
2:32one and write it down either in a
2:34notebook, on Excel, or send reminders
2:37via WhatsApp. Uh, generally there are
2:39buildings where the water and
2:40electricity bill is shared because
2:42there is only one meter for the whole
2:44building. So, they have to divide the
2:46amount between the 12 apartments if
2:47there are any, or the eight apartments,
2:49by discussing it with each one. For
2:51example, when there is a leak or a
2:53breakdown, it is still that person who
2:54has to manage the plumber, advance the
2:56money, and follow up. All of this they
2:58will note down, for example, in a
3:00notebook or on Excel, and it is all
3:02managed in cash or by mobile money. So,
3:04the solution is a property management
3:07SaaS. Every apartment and every tenant
3:10will be in the tool. The rent status
3:13will be visible at a glance, and the
3:14tenant can pay via mobile money
3:16directly in the application, in the
3:17SaaS. The shared bill, for example, you
3:21enter it once, and the tool
3:22automatically distributes it among the
3:24apartments and sends each one their
3:26share. So, even breakdowns and repairs
3:28are tracked with photos and costs. So,
3:31there will be no more notebooks. There
3:32will no longer be times where you get
3:34lost wondering who has paid and who
3:35hasn't paid yet. It will truly be
3:37software that allows owners to have a
3:39very clear and insightful view, let's
3:41say, of their property. So, who pays?
3:45The one who pays is simply the manager
3:47or the owner. And there is even a
3:49second golden client: the owner who is
3:51in the diaspora. There are many
3:54building owners today who are not in
3:56the country, who are, for example, in
3:57Europe or the United States, etc. So,
3:59the Senegalese person living in Paris,
4:01or the Ivorian living in Paris, who
4:03owns a building in Wakam or Abidjan,
4:04for example, and who today never knows
4:06if the money is correct or where the
4:08expenses are going. So he will pay
4:10without hesitation to see the rent come
4:13in on his phone in real time; he will
4:15pay for your application. So that
4:17person will pay without hesitation for
4:19your SaaS to see his rent arrive in
4:21real time on his phone, thousands of
4:23miles away from his property. And what
4:26you are actually selling him is
4:27replacing his monthly anxiety with real
4:29transparency. Now, let's do a very
4:32simple calculation. All right? Imagine
4:35there are 400 properties being managed
4:37with your SaaS at 10,000 francs a month
4:39; that’s 4 million CFA francs a month
4:41in just one city. And since the
4:45diaspora is investing heavily in real
4:46estate back home in Africa today, this
4:48market grows on its own every year. So,
4:51this is truly the first SaaS idea I
4:53recommend you launch. It is a vertical
4:56SaaS because it targets a very specific
4:59sector with a specific pain point or
5:02problem and solves it. So, if that's
5:05clear, let's move on to idea number two
5:07. Idea number two: order management for
5:10tailors and sewing workshops. Now,
5:13I’m going to tell you something that
5:15you’ve definitely experienced or know
5:17someone who has. You drop your fabric
5:19off at the tailor's three weeks before
5:21Tabaski, or Korité, or before a
5:23holiday or a wedding. He writes your
5:25order on a scrap of paper and your
5:26measurements in an old notebook. They
5:28all have that notebook, and the day
5:30before the holiday......you go to pick
5:32up your outfit, and it's not ready. Or
5:35worse, he’s lost your measurements or
5:37even your fabric, and you see another
5:39client’s outfit that looks strangely
5:41like your fabric or your boubou. And
5:44it's not that the tailor is bad, it's
5:46that he's managing 60 orders in his
5:48head, with deadlines, deposits, and
5:50alterations, and zero digital tools to
5:52help him. So the solution is a SaaS,
5:54all right? A workshop management SaaS.
5:57Each order is recorded with a photo of
5:59the fabric. Customer measurements are
6:02saved once and for all, and the tool
6:04tracks the delivery date, the deposit
6:06paid, and the remaining balance. The
6:08client gets an automatic message when
6:10it's ready, and the tailor finally sees
6:13his order queue and stops promising
6:16impossible deadlines that he or his
6:18staff cannot meet, okay? So these
6:20employees won't be able to keep up. And
6:22who will pay? It is quite simply the
6:23workshop that will pay without
6:25hesitation. 5000 francs, for example,
6:26per month to manage a workshop. It's a
6:28light price. Tailors have much more
6:30money than that. Because here you are
6:31playing on volume; there are a huge
6:33number of tailors in Dakar or Abidjan.
6:35There are tailors on every street of
6:37every neighborhood, in every city in
6:38West Africa. So, you do the math. 500
6:40workshops at 5000 francs per month,
6:42that makes you 2.5 million per month.
6:45And the real treasure is the saved
6:46measurements. Because a tailor who has
6:49100 clients registered in your tool
6:51with their sizes and history will never
6:53leave, because that is guaranteed
6:55loyalty. Okay? They will never leave.
6:58So listen, this is really something
7:00that I would advise you to launch if
7:01you want to target this sector today.
7:04So next, we will look at the third
7:06sector I observed. Private schools, the
7:09collection of tuition fees for private
7:12schools. Go talk to any private school
7:16principal, or kindergarten or private
7:18preschool director. You will see
7:21preschools, and you will ask them their
7:23biggest problem. Their biggest problem
7:25is not pedagogy, it's not teaching the
7:28children, it's chasing after tuition
7:29fees. There are parents who pay late,
7:33poorly tracked cash payments, a
7:35supervisor who spends their days making
7:37calls, and at the end of the day or the
7:39end of the month, millions of francs
7:41that are never recovered. What is the
7:44solution? It's a SaaS for tuition
7:45management, okay? Not school management
7:48, a tuition management SaaS. Each
7:51student has their file, each
7:52installment has its deadline, and the
7:54parent will receive an automatic
7:56reminder via SMS or WhatsApp before the
7:58date, with the ability to pay directly
8:00via mobile money. The principal, or the
8:04person managing the school, will see in
8:05real-time who has paid, who is late,
8:07and how much they still have to collect
8:09. And who will pay for this? It's
8:11simply the school. They are your target
8:13because this problem costs them
8:15millions every year. Okay? It's not a
8:17problem that costs them 10,000 francs,
8:19you are solving something that costs
8:20them millions each year. So, compared
8:22to that, 20,000 or 25,000 francs per
8:24month is just a drop in the ocean. Okay
8:26? It is truly something they will use
8:28with pleasure. And we will look at the
8:30potential together. With just 200
8:32schools at 25,000 francs per month,
8:34you’re at 5 million per month. But,
8:37there are hundreds of private schools
8:39in Dakar alone, okay? In Abidjan,
8:41Cotonou, no matter where you are. New
8:43ones open every year in every major
8:45city on the continent. Right? And I'm
8:47going to give you a little bonus on
8:49this niche. A school that adopts your
8:51tool will almost never leave it because
8:53migrating means moving all student
8:55files during the school year. And
8:56nobody does that. That’s the kind of
8:58client who will stay for 5 years. And
9:00that’s why I told you at the
9:01beginning of the video, we're going to
9:03talk about real, actual problems that
9:05you can see for yourself, and I’ll
9:06give you business ideas you can launch.
9:08And we’re going to look at the next
9:09problem that you’ve definitely
9:10experienced at least once, okay? The
9:13local shopkeeper’s credit ledger.
9:16Okay? This idea is culturally powerful.
9:20The shopkeeper’s credit ledger in a
9:21digital version. So, you know the local
9:24shopkeeper's notebook, right? They use
9:26that worn-out notebook to jot down
9:28everyone's debts: candy, rice, sugar,
9:30milk, oil. That notebook is the
9:32informal bank for an entire continent.
9:35Except it has problems: pages tear,
9:36amounts are disputed, the shopkeeper
9:38even forgets to ask for payment, and
9:39when they try to balance the books,
9:41it’s a total mess. So, what’s the
9:43solution? A very simple app. The
9:45shopkeeper records the debt in 3
9:47seconds. The client receives a
9:49notification and an automated reminder
9:52after, say, a few days to remind them
9:54they need to pay. And since everything
9:56is written down on both sides, there
9:58are no more arguments over the amounts.
10:01Here, however, the payment model will
10:03change. A single shopkeeper pays little
10:06, so you play on volume at a low price,
10:09or even freemium. So, they use it for
10:12free up to, for example, 20 or 30
10:14clients, and then they pay 2,000 francs
10:16per month beyond that. And the volume
10:19is exactly where it’s at. 2,000 shops
10:20at 2,000 francs per month makes 4
10:22million per month. And knowing that
10:24there are hundreds of thousands of
10:26neighborhood shops in Africa. There are
10:28so many you can’t even count them. In
10:30a single neighborhood, you might find,
10:32I don’t know, maybe a dozen shops.
10:33Low price, but huge volume. So the
10:37challenge here will be distribution.
10:39You have to go into the field, shop by
10:41shop at the beginning, but whoever
10:43cracks that market is building
10:45something truly huge. And you'll see
10:48that, culturally speaking, it's really
10:50an activity that you can literally
10:52digitize. 5th idea, pharmacies;
10:56inventory and expiration management for
10:58pharmacies, quite simply. Today, a
11:01pharmacy has thousands of items, okay?
11:04And every box has an expiration date.
11:06An expired product is money thrown away
11:08. Sometimes it's even a real health
11:10risk for people. And yet today, there
11:11are many pharmacies that manage this by
11:13hand. Go buy something in some
11:15pharmacies, you'll see that they even
11:17note their sales on notebooks,
11:19sometimes with endless inventories and
11:20unpleasant surprises. Right? So the
11:24solution is a SaaS inventory management
11:26system designed for pharmacies. Right?
11:30It would send you automatic alerts for
11:32products nearing expiration, sales
11:34tracking, restocking suggestions, and
11:36why not even show customers the on-duty
11:38pharmacies and medication availability?
11:41That's incredible. Today, at night, uh,
11:44we've all had a problem. At night, we
11:45wanted to know which pharmacy was on
11:47duty. We couldn't know. So that would
11:50be an additional feature that you could
11:52even charge the users for. Right. So,
11:56in fact, you could create a SaaS where
11:59both types of users will pay you. And
12:02here your client is gold, okay, because
12:04your primary client is pharmacies. They
12:06are serious, generally, they are
12:08solvent. A pharmacy won't argue, for
12:10example, over 15,000 francs a month for
12:11a tool that saves them from throwing
12:13away entire stocks, because for them,
12:15it's an invisible line in their
12:17expenses. So, for example, 300
12:18pharmacies paying you 15,000 francs a
12:21month is 4.5 million per month. And
12:23these pharmacies number in the hundreds
12:25in every country in the region, without
12:27a single local tool in French with
12:29mobile payment designed for them. They
12:32all currently use, uh, imported
12:34software. So if you come today with
12:36software that really addresses the real
12:39problems, the real needs they have,
12:40well, tell yourself that you can really
12:43make a lot of money. Right? Next, we'll
12:46tackle idea number 6. It's an idea I
12:48like because I had already created a
12:50solution for it over a year ago. Right?
12:53Ordering for restaurants and fast-food
12:56places. Today, a small restaurant that
12:58delivers, how does it manage its orders
12:59? How? They manage them on WhatsApp or
13:02they write them down, you’ll see in
13:04restaurants, they write their orders in
13:06notebooks, and they receive the
13:08majority of their orders on WhatsApp.
13:10So the customer writes in, the manager
13:12or the person handling orders replies
13:14between two dishes and writes it on a
13:16piece of paper; they forget one in
13:17every five orders, and at noon, it’s
13:19a war zone. Uh, they have a single
13:21number or maybe two. There are 10,000
13:23people calling at the same time to
13:25order lunch. You’ll be calling for 10
13:28minutes, nobody will answer because
13:29they are buried, they are drowning in
13:31demand, they are drowning in the volume
13:33. So what is the solution? It’s a
13:35simple digital menu with a simple link.
13:38The customer chooses, pays online or
13:41pays on delivery, and the order drops
13:43neatly into a dashboard. The restaurant
13:46sees everything: orders in progress,
13:48the dishes that are selling, and the
13:50daily revenue. And you might say to me,
13:51"But Amadou, what about the big
13:53delivery platforms? Won't I be
13:54competing with them? What do I do?" But
13:56listen, you need to know that those
13:58platforms take huge commissions from
14:00restaurants. There are many restaurants
14:03that don't work with them, and small
14:04neighborhood joints aren't even on
14:06those platforms. What are you selling?
14:08You’re selling the tool, you’re not
14:09selling the delivery. Delivery is not
14:11your problem. The restaurant will keep
14:13its own drivers and its customers, and
14:14it works. And they will pay you without
14:16thinking twice. 15,000 francs a month
14:18is less than a single day's revenue.
14:20Right? With 250 restaurants, you’re
14:22at almost 4 million per month. And
14:25restaurants, fast food spots, and small
14:27food businesses are opening up every
14:29single week. There are tens of
14:32thousands of them in every city. Right?
14:34Believe me, today in Africa, there’s
14:36a joke that says only food businesses
14:37work here. If you want to make money,
14:39sell food. So I don’t think finding
14:41clients will be a struggle. So, idea
14:44number 7: religious travel agencies. So
14:47if you are in a Muslim country like me,
14:49for example in Senegal, every year
14:50it’s a battlefield. Every time Hajj
14:54or Umrah season comes around, tens of
14:56thousands of pilgrims travel from our
14:58countries every year. And behind this,
15:02there are agencies handling complex
15:03files: passports, visas, vaccines,
15:05monthly payment plans, group
15:06notifications, flights, and
15:08accommodations in Medina and Mecca. And
15:10how do you think all of that is managed
15:11? It’s managed on Excel, or just in
15:14notebooks, or on WhatsApp—and even
15:16then, it's always the same old pattern:
15:18notebooks and WhatsApp. What’s the
15:20solution? A pilgrim management SaaS.
15:23Each file is tracked step by step. You
15:26could even integrate artificial
15:27intelligence to assist the agencies.
15:29Installment payments are recorded with
15:31automated receipts. Payment reminders
15:34are sent to families who know they need
15:36to pay, and the agency has a dashboard
15:37showing exactly where each pilgrim
15:39stands. And the average order value
15:41here is very high because the amounts
15:43involved are also very high. A
15:45pilgrimage costs millions per person.
15:47So, an agency managing 200 pilgrims
15:49handles hundreds of millions, for
15:51example. So, 50,000 francs a month to
15:53secure everything for that agency is a
15:55no-brainer. They won't even think twice
15:57. So, with just 100 agencies at 50,000
15:59CFA francs, you’re at 5 million per
16:02month. It’s a narrow but deep niche,
16:04loyal and completely wide open. And
16:06once they start using your tool,
16:08believe me, they aren't going anywhere.
16:10Idea number 8: clinics and private
16:12practices. So, appointment scheduling
16:14and patient records for private clinics
16:16and medical offices. I think if you're
16:18watching this video, you've already
16:19experienced this, or a family member
16:21has. Let me set the scene for you. You
16:22know the scene. You arrive at a clinic
16:25at 8 a.m., take a ticket, and wait 3
16:27hours; all the while, the doctor
16:29rediscovers your history at every visit
16:31because your file is just a cardboard
16:34folder stashed somewhere in a big
16:36cabinet with other folders, containing
16:38all the documents regarding you or your
16:40child. When I take my child to the
16:43pediatrician, for instance, my child's
16:45documents are in a folder in a cabinet
16:47where they have to spend, say, 10
16:49minutes looking for my child’s
16:51information. Imagine I ask them: "Why
16:54don't you have software to manage this?
16:55" So there you really have a niche. You
16:58can create a solution. You can create
17:00an online appointment solution with
17:02time slots, automatic patient reminders
17:04, and a simple digital patient record
17:06that the doctor can access in just a
17:08few clicks. And there's no need to
17:10build a full hospital software suite.
17:12That's not what I'm talking about.
17:13Start with appointments and the records
17:14. It's already a revolution for most
17:16offices, especially private practices.
17:19The office pays 20,000 francs per month
17:21. It's a solvent and serious client,
17:23and above all, once the patient records
17:25are in your tool, they aren't going
17:27anywhere. How would they leave? How
17:30would they transfer if there are a
17:32hundred or two hundred users or records
17:34? They won't leave. It's the same
17:37rock-solid loyalty as schools. From
17:39that office at 20,000 francs per month.
17:41Well, look, you already have an MRR of
17:434 million per month. So MRR means
17:45Monthly Recurring Revenue. So the
17:47monthly recurring revenue is how much
17:49your SaaS generates for you each month.
17:52Idea number 9, event management for
17:55wedding and ceremony vendors. Let's
17:59think for 2 seconds about what a
18:01wedding represents for us, especially
18:03in Africa. It's months of preparation,
18:06budgets in the millions and sometimes
18:08even tens of millions, and behind it
18:10all, an army of vendors: the caterer,
18:12the decorator, the photographer, the
18:14venue, the DJ, and so on. And how do
18:17they manage it? Once again, it's on
18:20WhatsApp, deposits arrive in cash,
18:22dates are jotted down in a paper
18:23planner, or not even Excel, just a
18:25planner. And every other Saturday,
18:29there's a mess: a disputed deposit, a
18:31double-booked date, for example. A
18:33photographer was supposed to come but
18:35already booked another date with a
18:36different client; they didn't even know
18:38a detail promised verbally that no one
18:40wrote down. What's the solution? A
18:43management SaaS for event vendors. Each
18:46event has its own file with the quote,
18:48the deposit paid via mobile money, the
18:51remaining balance, okay, the checklist
18:53of what was agreed upon, and a calendar
18:55that blocks the date to avoid double
18:57bookings. The client signs what they
19:00have validated, and the vendor is
19:02protected. And the vendor is the one
19:04who pays because every mishap costs
19:06them money and reputation. 10,000
19:08francs a month for a caterer, a
19:10photographer, or a decorator who
19:11charges hundreds of thousands of CFA
19:13francs for events, it's a no-brainer.
19:15So for example, if you have 300 service
19:17providers at 10,000 francs a month,
19:19that's 3 million per month. And
19:20weddings, baptisms, ceremonies, and
19:22parties happen every weekend, even
19:25every single day of the year in cities
19:27all over Africa. Listen, my friend, the
19:29market is there, and it’s not going
19:30anywhere. And here is idea number 10,
19:32the one I mentioned at the beginning,
19:34the one an entrepreneur I’m mentoring
19:36has already launched. We’re getting
19:37there. The idea is appointment booking
19:40for beauty salons and hair studios. So,
19:42I’ll explain the scene to you. You
19:44know it well. You call a salon, no one
19:46answers because the manager has her
19:48hands in someone's hair or there's just
19:49no one there to answer the phone. You
19:52reach out on WhatsApp, she replies 3
19:53hours later, and the slot is already
19:55taken. And on her end, she’s writing
19:57down appointments in a notebook. One in
19:59five clients doesn't show up without
20:02notice, and she loses that money. Right
20:04? Because a client will call, she'll
20:07book a slot, okay? Another client
20:09wanted to come, she’ll tell her
20:11there’s already someone booked, and
20:13in the end, the person who booked
20:14doesn't show up. Right? It’s lost
20:16money, as I said. So what is the
20:18solution? It’s a management and
20:19appointment booking tool. The client
20:22will book online and receive an
20:24automatic reminder on WhatsApp the day
20:26before, or even a few hours or ten
20:28minutes before the appointment. Right?
20:31This will be something configurable,
20:33and the manager will see her day on her
20:36phone. The result: missed appointments
20:38drop, and the salon stays full. It's
20:40great. And this applies just as well to
20:43beauty service providers because there
20:45are people who don't have a salon—
20:46makeup artists, nail techs, hair
20:48stylists—who come to you. Right? So
20:51who pays here? It's these service
20:55providers who pay, and she will quickly
20:56understand why she should pay you
20:58because every missed appointment means
21:005,000 or 10,000 francs gone. So if your
21:03tool saves her just 4 of them a month,
21:04it’s already paid for itself. And 300
21:07salons, for example, in Dakar at 10,000
21:08francs each, that makes you 3 million a
21:10month, as I’m showing you right here
21:12in this calculation. And we’re just
21:14talking about a single city, not even
21:16mentioning Abidjan, Douala, or Cotonou.
21:19And now, proof that this isn’t just
21:21theory. So, there’s Fadima, an
21:23entrepreneur I mentor; she wasn't a
21:25developer to begin with. She joined my
21:28Easy SAS academy. I have an academy
21:31where people can come and learn how to
21:33build SaaS from scratch. Even if they
21:36have no experience, you can come here,
21:38and in just a few days, you can get
21:40started building SaaS today with
21:42artificial intelligence. And today,
21:45there are over 300 of us in the
21:48community. You can join us, and Fadima,
21:50she launched beautyteranga.com. It's an
21:53appointment booking SaaS for beauty
21:56salons and professionals, and she built
21:58it from A to Z using vibe coding—
22:00meaning she just described in French
22:03what she wanted and let the AI write
22:05the code for her, without being a
22:07developer. So, this market isn't just a
22:09hypothesis; it's being captured right
22:11now. And while you’re watching this
22:13video, the other 10 ideas on this list
22:15are waiting for the exact same thing.
22:17And let me tell you, if you don't
22:18launch it, you'll see other people
22:20launch it because this video will
22:21inevitably be seen by many people. So,
22:23if you want to launch, you can join our
22:25EasySAS academy. The link will be in
22:27the description; join a community of
22:30over 300 members who are currently
22:32building their own SaaS. Now, let's get
22:34back to idea number 11. We're finishing
22:37—I think it's the last one and by far
22:39the biggest on the entire list—which
22:41is "tontines"(rotating savings clubs).
22:44Think for a second about what the
22:46tontine represents in Africa. Millions
22:49of people in every neighborhood, every
22:52market, every company, contributing
22:54together every week or every month to
22:57give the money to someone. Right? The
23:00cumulative amounts reach billions of
23:02CFA francs circulating outside of any
23:05formal system, and it is likely the
23:07largest informal financial
23:08infrastructure on the continent. And
23:10what does all of this run on? It runs
23:12on a notebook, it runs on trust, and it
23:14runs on the memory of the group
23:16president who manages the tontine.
23:18Everyone knows the problems. Those who
23:21don't contribute on time, the arguments
23:23over the accounts, the treasurer who
23:25has to chase everyone down, or even,
23:26unfortunately, money going missing as I
23:28said. So, the solution is a tontine
23:31management portal. Every member sees
23:33contributions in real time. Payments
23:35are made via mobile money with full
23:37traceability. Reminders are sent
23:38automatically. The order of rotation is
23:41transparent and the history is
23:43indisputable. And in fact, you aren't
23:45replacing the tontine, you're securing
23:48it. And the beauty of the model is that
23:50it's not the individual paying, it's
23:52the group. 5,000 francs a month split,
23:54for example, among 20 or 30 members.
23:57You could say it's nothing for anyone.
23:59It's maybe 100 or 200 francs. So, do
24:01the math. If you only have 1,000 groups
24:03, okay, at 5,000 francs a month, that's
24:065 million a month. And 1,000 groups on
24:09the scale of a country like Senegal,
24:11Ivory Coast, or Cameroon is a drop in
24:13the ocean. The real potential is in the
24:16tens of thousands of groups. So why
24:18isn't anyone doing it? Because it's a
24:21trust-based market that's hard to
24:23penetrate and requires a deep
24:24understanding of the culture. An
24:26American won't be able to build this. A
24:28European won't be able to build it
24:30either. But you can; this is exactly
24:32the kind of market where being African
24:35is your biggest advantage. Right? So
24:37here are the ideas I recommend. Let's
24:41recap the 11 markets in one list. Ready
24:45? We have building managers, tailors,
24:49private schools, the shopkeeper's
24:51notebook, pharmacies, restaurants, Hajj
24:54and Umrah agencies, clinics and medical
24:56practices, weddings and ceremonies,
24:59beauty salons, and tontines. And did
25:02you notice a pattern? We have 11
25:04professions, right? And we have 11
25:07notebooks or WhatsApp groups being used
25:10as management software. And every time,
25:13these professionals lose money each
25:15week because of a problem that a 30,000
25:18-franc tool and a few weeks of vibe
25:20coding could solve. And let me tell you
25:23something, the best idea on this list
25:25isn't necessarily number 11 or number 8
25:27. It's the one where you already know
25:30the business or the pain point. If your
25:32mom runs a tontine, it's number 11. If
25:35your uncle owns a pharmacy, it's number
25:365. Because your local knowledge is
25:39worth more than any market study. An
25:42idea that stays in your head is worth
25:44nothing. What matters today is who
25:46executes it first. And these 11 markets
25:48, I tell you, I guarantee you, won't
25:50stay empty for long because I just gave
25:52them to thousands of people in this
25:54video. All right? So, how do you go
25:56from this video to your first paying
25:59customer? And that's even if you don't
26:01know SaaS, even if you've never built
26:03one, even if you don't know how to code
26:05, because like I said, an idea in your
26:07head is worth nothing. Maybe besides
26:09these ideas, you had a SaaS idea you
26:10wanted to launch, but you don't know
26:12how to do it. Today, you need to know
26:14that this idea is worth nothing. What
26:16counts is building it entirely, all the
26:18way to the paying customer. And that is
26:20exactly what I teach you to do in Easis
26:22, my complete training program. So in
26:24Easis, you will get the whole system.
26:27How to choose your niche from ideas
26:29like today's? How to validate that
26:31people will pay for your idea? How to
26:34build your product with AI without
26:35coding? How to integrate mobile money
26:37payments to get paid? And how to set
26:39your price and go find your first
26:41customers. In short, from the idea to
26:43the product that makes you money. All
26:45right? I have helped a huge number of
26:47people launch and build their SaaS. So
26:49as I said, there's Fadima whom I showed
26:51you earlier, there's Boubakar, there's
26:53Gamaliel; these are entrepreneurs I
26:55coach. They all went through this. None
26:57of them knew how to code and today they
26:59have products online and paying
27:01customers. So the link to join Easis is
27:03in the description. If you are serious,
27:05you want to stop watching others
27:07succeed and build your own SaaS, this
27:09is where it happens. Next, tell me in
27:10the comments which idea from 1 to 11
27:12you're taking. I read everything and I
27:14might make a full video on the idea
27:15that comes up the most. So the window
27:17is open, the markets are empty. It’s
27:19your turn to play. I'll see you in the
27:21next video.
