0:00In the last 6 months, my online
0:02software has generated over 100 million
0:04CFA francs. And to understand how this
0:07is possible, we have to go back 40
0:09years. In fact, 40 years ago, the
0:11richest man in the world was selling
0:13oil. He was selling barrels, pipelines,
0:15things that we can touch, physical
0:16things. Today, the richest man in the
0:19world is selling software. And you, in
0:22the meantime, are using this model
0:23every day. You even finance it with
0:25your own money each month, but without
0:27knowing it. And in this video, I'm
0:30going to show you how wealth has
0:32changed sides and why it's the biggest
0:34opportunity of our generation here in
0:36Africa and how you can go from being
0:39the one who pays to the one who
0:40collects. So stay until the end of this
0:43video because I think it's going to be
0:45very interesting and you're going to
0:47discover a new business model that can
0:49literally make you financially free. Hi
0:52, it's Amadou, and if you don't know me
0:54yet, I'm an entrepreneur based in Dakar
0:55. I've been building online software
0:57for years. I'm a content creator,
0:59trainer, and author. So here's my book
1:0150 Days to Succeed in Africa, in which
1:03I talk about business ideas that you
1:05can launch here in Africa, no matter
1:07your budget. And in this channel, I
1:09show you how business really works. I
1:11tell you what I know. I share my
1:13experiences without the financial
1:15details. So I'm basically sharing my
1:17experience in the business world. And
1:19today, we're going to get into
1:21something big. I'm not talking about a
1:23tip or a trendy side hustle. I'm
1:26talking about a historic shift, the
1:28kind of thing that you understand once
1:30and then you'll never be able to see
1:32the economy or online business the same
1:34way again. So let's get started. A
1:37little test to start. Have you ever
1:39used Netflix, WhatsApp, or Wave today?
1:43Okay. So be honest. The answer is
1:45probably yes, probably one of the three
1:48, or probably all three. And if it's
1:51yes, you've just used what's called an
1:53SAS. So an SAS is simply an online
1:55software that you pay for on a
1:57subscription basis or that you pay per
2:00use. You've been a customer for years
2:02without ever having said a word about
2:04it, but it's something that you've been
2:06using for years. And here's what
2:08strikes me every time I think about it:
2:10there are millions of us paying for
2:12these services every month. Millions of
2:15customers. But on the other side, those
2:17who collect are just a handful, and
2:20almost none are from here. And this
2:23video is the user guide for changing
2:25sides, from the one that consumes to
2:28the one that produces. So, in this
2:31video, here is what we are going to see
2:32. Here's the program. So first, how has
2:35global wealth shifted? Because if you
2:38miss this move, you'll continue to play
2:40by the rules of a game that no longer
2:42exists. Next, let's see what an airlock
2:45is, okay? Without jargon, something
2:48very simple, down to earth. Third,
2:50let's see why this business beats all
2:52the others. In any case, most of the
2:54businesses that I know, the store, the
2:56freelance, the physical product, we
2:58compare everything. Honestly, I'm going
3:00to show you why the airlock business is
3:02truly one of the best businesses that I
3:04know. Fourth, we're going to look at
3:06the three objections, the three excuses
3:08that you already have in mind and why
3:10they no longer hold up today,
3:11especially in the era of artificial
3:13intelligence. Fifth, I'm going to
3:16explain to you why this is now the game
3:18here in Africa and even if you're in
3:21Africa. Okay? Sixth, we're going to see
3:24what software you can actually build
3:26with examples and real people who have
3:28done it. Developer or not, this video
3:30is for you and you'll understand why.
3:33Okay? So now, a few words about why you
3:36should listen to me and then we won't
3:38talk about me anymore, okay? Personally
3:40, I'm Amadou, as I said earlier, a
3:42business content creator. More than
3:44140,000 subscribers currently follow me
3:47on YouTube, but above all, I build, I
3:49created farata.net, net a halal Muslim
3:52dating platform for marriage with more
3:54than 200,000 users. I launched WhatsApp
3:56IA, a system that allows you to create
3:59AI assistants for WhatsApp with more
4:01than 70,000 users. We launched Easy
4:03Melo, a platform for creating music
4:05with artificial intelligence that has
4:07just exceeded 100,000 users. And
4:09besides that, I also created and sold
4:10other products. I created cagnotte.sn,
4:13SN, easy.store, easy.club that I built,
4:17developed and resold. So if I talk to
4:20you about SAS or business, I think I
4:22know what I'm talking about. Okay, so
4:24now the 100 million that I told you
4:25about at the beginning of the video,
4:27here it is with a little more detail.
4:28So there is more than 100 million CFA
4:30francs generated in cumulative revenue
4:32with my SAS products just in the last 6
4:34months. Okay? And today, that's it. Its
4:37business generates between 6 and 12
4:39million, between 7 and 12 million, uh,
4:42CFA francs each month. And that's all
4:44of them combined. Okay? So all the SASs
4:47, uh, combined. Now, there are also
4:49SASs that I created and I sold, so I
4:51sold several SASs worth several million
4:53CFA francs. Now, I'll give you these
4:55figures. Why? There's only one reason.
4:58The Internet today is full of people
5:00selling methods that they've never
5:01applied. Everything I'm going to show
5:03you, I live it, I do it. I help people
5:05do it. I've helped dozens of people do
5:07it. I coach people. I have a free
5:09training course of over 7 hours on my
5:11YouTube channel that has accumulated
5:13over 100,000 views in less than a month
5:15. The products exist, the evidence
5:16exists. You can go and type them into
5:18Google and you'll see what I'm telling
5:20you. This is really what I experience
5:22and what I'm able to achieve. Now
5:24that's over, let's get to the heart of
5:26the matter. So part 1, how has wealth
5:29changed, okay? And why did the kings of
5:33yesterday sell things and the kings of
5:35today sell software? Throughout the
5:3820th century, okay, the richest men in
5:40the world had one thing in common. They
5:43sold physical goods. We have
5:44Rockefeller who sold oil. We have the
5:47Walton family who owned the Walmart
5:49chain, okay? So supermarket chains,
5:52stores. We have Coca-Cola, which sold
5:54billions of bottles. We have Total,
5:56which sells fuel, and this model had a
5:59rule that no one could circumvent. To
6:02earn more, you have to produce more. So
6:04every franc of growth costs money. More
6:07factories, more trucks, more employees,
6:10more stock. Wealth was heavy and
6:13weighed tons, literally tons. Now, look
6:16at what dominates the world today.
6:18Today, the most highly valued companies
6:20in the world. We're talking about
6:22Microsoft, we're talking about Apple,
6:23Google, Meta, that is to say Facebook,
6:25Instagram, WhatsApp, Nvidia and so on.
6:28Do you see what they have in common?
6:29None of these companies sell something
6:32that you hold in your hand as their
6:34main product because even Apple derives
6:37a huge portion of its value from
6:39services and operating software that is
6:41used through, for example, iPhones,
6:44iMacs, the App Store and so on. So the
6:47biggest companies in the history of
6:49humanity are software companies. That's
6:52not my opinion, that's been the stock
6:55market for the past 15 years. That's
6:57the reality. And if you still have any
6:59doubts, here's the world's top
7:01valuation. Today, we have Apple,
7:04Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, which is
7:07Google, Amazon, Meta, six companies all
7:10built on software. 40 years ago, that
7:14same list included oil, banks, and
7:16automobiles. So the world has changed,
7:18and the question that should keep you
7:20up at night is, has your way of
7:22thinking about business changed with it
7:24? Because in truth, most people around
7:27us still think according to the rules
7:29of the old world. Open a store, buy
7:32stock, and resell. That's not bad.
7:35That's profitable. It wastes money, but
7:37that's not where wealth is really
7:39created anymore. So why does software
7:42always win? There's one principle
7:44behind it, and one principle only. If
7:46you only remember one thing from this
7:48video, if you have to remember just one
7:51thing, remember this. Physical things
7:54have limits. A factory has a maximum
7:56capacity. A store has a maximum surface
7:58area. If you want to sell twice as many
8:00bottles, you have to produce twice as
8:02many bottles and it costs almost twice
8:04as much. Software has no physical
8:07limits. You build it once, just once,
8:09and then serving it to one customer or
8:12a million customers costs almost the
8:15same in a virtual way. Okay? All that
8:17changes is the size of the servers.
8:20Take a second to appreciate that. For
8:21example, a business where it costs
8:23nothing to grow, where each new
8:25customer is almost pure profit. That's
8:28the secret of modern wealth. It's
8:31neither luck nor an address book, it's
8:33the structure of the business that
8:35makes it possible. And this category of
8:37business has a name, it's called SAS.
8:41So what exactly is SAS? Okay? SAS has
8:46four letters. So S, A, A S. It means
8:50software as a service. In French,
8:53software that you use as a subscription
8:56service or that you pay for as you use
8:58it. The way it works is based on two
9:01sentences. You pay each month or you
9:03pay to use software, you access the
9:05service. You stop paying, you lose
9:07access to the service, that's it. No
9:10product to deliver, no stock, no
9:12premises to open at 7 a.m. It's just an
9:14online service, a subscription, an
9:16access, and I understand that the word
9:18is scary because it's in English and it
9:20sounds technical. But honestly, the
9:23concept is simpler than managing a
9:25neighborhood store. And the proof is
9:28simple, you already use it every day.
9:32Netflix, you probably pay for it each
9:33month, you watch it, it's a gateway.
9:35Spotify, you pay, you listen, it's a
9:37gateway. Canva, your flyers, you're
9:39visual, it's a gateway. Wave, your
9:41money, your transfers, you pay for each
9:43transaction, it's a gateway. You
9:45already pay each month for software and
9:48several software programs. You're a
9:50model customer in this industry. The
9:52only real question is when do you move
9:54to the other side of the contract? When
9:56will you stop being just a simple
9:58consumer and start becoming a producer
10:00instead? So, let's look at the other
10:03side, precisely how a SAS makes money.
10:06So, one, you land a customer, so with
10:09content, advertising, word of mouth,
10:12etc. The customer subscribes, they pay
10:16because your service simply solves a
10:19problem. They pay automatically each
10:23month, so you never have to remind or
10:25renegotiate. It is innate; what matters
10:28most is that he stays, and while he
10:30stays, he pays. And we call that
10:33retention. So the real secret of an SAS
10:35is not customer interest. That's the
10:37easy part. The real secret is keeping
10:39the customer. For a customer staying
10:41two years, that is 24 months of revenue
10:44per sales effort. You sell once, you
10:47collect 24 times. And find me another
10:49business that does that. I'll wait for
10:51you in the comments. Now, let's do the
10:54math because words are good but numbers
10:56are better. Okay? Let's take the
10:58example of 1,000 customers. Not 1
11:00million customers, just 1,000 people on
11:03a continent with 400 million
11:05inhabitants. Each of these 1,000 people
11:08pays 5,000 francs per month. 5,000
11:09francs is a meal, a meal at a
11:11restaurant, it's less than an internet
11:13connection package. Okay? You do 1000 x
11:165000, that's 5 million CFA francs per
11:20month. And the following month another
11:235 million CFA francs. Without starting
11:26from scratch or prospecting again, the
11:28counter does not reset on the first of
11:30the month. It simply continues to run.
11:33So build once, collect every month,
11:36write this sentence down somewhere. You
11:39build once and collect every month.
11:42That's the secret of the SAS. Now, to
11:45be complete, you need to know that
11:47there are three main families of SAS.
11:50To start, we have B2C. So for B2C, you
11:53sell to the general public, Netflix,
11:55Spotify, Wave, in fact anyone can use
11:58it. Then, we have B2B. So you sell to
12:02companies, so it's business to business
12:04. We have Sales Force, Slack, the tools
12:06that bosses use, that companies use
12:09internally, and so on. And finally, we
12:11have the vertical niche. So niche
12:13software, you sell to a specific
12:15profession. For example, software just
12:18for hairdressers, software just for
12:20pharmacists, etc. Now, which of these
12:22three types of software is the best? In
12:25fact, all three work. All three work
12:27here in Africa. I'll prove it to you
12:29right away with my own products because
12:31there are always some who say, "Yeah,
12:33it's an American thing, no one will pay
12:35for software." So look at farata.net, a
12:38halal Muslim dating site for marriage,
12:41it's pure bit, okay? So it's business
12:44consumer. We have more than 200,000
12:46users and people from here who pay with
12:49Wave, Orange Money, credit cards, etc.
12:52Then, we have WhatsApp AI, an AI
12:54assistant for WhatsApp for WhatsApp
12:56sold to entrepreneurs or businesses.
12:59It's B2B, 70,000 users. And finally, we
13:02have Easy Melo, creating music with Lia
13:05. Still B2C, currently more than
13:08100,000 users. So I have two B2C, one
13:11B2B, three product families and all
13:13three work. I built them here for
13:15people here with payments from here and
13:17it generates tens of millions. So it's
13:20not Silicon Valley, it's here. The
13:22question is no longer whether it's
13:23possible. The question is who's going
13:25to take the available places. Okay? So
13:28now we're going to move on to the next
13:31slide and we're going to see why SAS
13:34beats all other businesses. So there
13:36are basically four types of business,
13:38and you surely know them. We'll start
13:40with the retail business, the bodeque
13:42and so on. So you buy, you resell, you
13:45have a low margin, generally 15 to 20%,
13:48maybe even up to 30%. You don't have
13:50any leverage to sell more. You have to
13:52buy more stock and the day you want to
13:54stop selling a store, good luck my
13:56friend, you usually sell the stock at a
13:58loss and return the keys. Then, we have
14:01the freelance service business. There,
14:03you sell your time, so you have a
14:05decent margin but your time is limited.
14:0624 hours a day, not one more. Everyone
14:09has 24 hours, so you mathematically
14:10reach a ceiling. A business that relies
14:12on your time cannot be resold because
14:14without you, the business does not
14:16exist. So everything that is based on
14:18business, physical products, we have
14:20the stock that you have to have, we
14:22have the logistics that you have to
14:24manage, we have the start-up capital
14:25which is generally high and we have a
14:27generally low margin. And then we have
14:30the SAS. So with the SAS, we have a
14:32margin of 80 to 90%because there are
14:34almost no production costs. We have
14:36infinite leverage; it's a reusable
14:38asset, and I will come back to that in
14:40two minutes. So only one of these four
14:43businesses is designed in its very
14:45structure to grow its limit. Just one.
14:48Okay? And the technical word for that
14:52is scalability. Remember this word, for
14:55it is worth its gold. Scalability.
14:58Serving 10 or 10,000 customers costs
15:00almost the same when you have a SAS
15:03business. Imagine a store that gains
15:06100 new customers all at once. That's
15:08good news. Yes, but that means even
15:10more stock. Maybe an additional
15:11salesperson, maybe a larger location.
15:14Growth is expensive, growth is tiring.
15:17And the same event for an SAS, for
15:19example, is 100 new customers, 1,000
15:21new customers who sign up. Well,
15:23nothing happens because the product
15:24already exists. You sleep and the
15:26registrations come in. You sleep and
15:28you make money. That's what it is.
15:30Growing without the growth costing you
15:32anything. This is exactly the mechanism
15:35that created the fortunes we saw at the
15:37beginning. Okay? Now, the second
15:40advantage of this is recurring income.
15:43In a traditional business, you sell,
15:45you collect once, and the next month,
15:47you start over from zero. Every first
15:49of the month, the counter resets to
15:51zero and the race starts over. With a
15:53SaaS, you sell once and the client pays
15:56monthly. Your income doesn't start over
15:58from zero, it accumulates. In month 2,
16:01you have month 1's clients plus new
16:03ones. In month 12, you have a base that
16:05pays while you sleep. So recurring
16:08income is what transforms income into
16:11wealth. Income is earned, wealth is
16:14built. It's not the same life. And the
16:16third advantage, the one that no one
16:19talks about, is resale. A cash register
16:22that operates with subscribers who pay
16:23each month is an asset. It's like a
16:25building that generates rent. I call it
16:28digital real estate. An asset is
16:30generally sold for the equivalent of
16:32several years 'income from a single
16:34cost in a single transaction. And here,
16:36I'm not talking about an American book,
16:38I've done it three times myself. I sold
16:40cagot.sl, I sold easy.store, I sold
16:43easy.club. And I'm telling you, I
16:45remember the day I signed the
16:47Easyistore session: one signature, just
16:50one, and I collected what the product
16:52would take me years to earn; years of
16:55work transformed into capital in one go
16:57. And that capital was able to finance
17:00my next projects. So try selling a shop
17:02, try selling your freelance business,
17:04you'll see it doesn't work or it works
17:07very badly. Whereas if it's a lock,
17:09it's very possible. You're not building
17:11a job, you're building something that
17:12has value outside of yourself. And
17:14that's the difference between working
17:17and building. Okay? Okay. So now at
17:19this point in the video, I know exactly
17:22what's going on in your head. There are
17:24three sentences going around. I get
17:26them every day in comments and DMs. So,
17:28we're going to take them one by one and
17:31destroy them one by one. The first
17:33thing is objection number 1. Well,
17:35listen Amadou, I don't know. In 2018,
17:38this objection was acceptable and even
17:41in 2024-25, it was acceptable. You had
17:45to learn to program for years or pay a
17:48team millions. But in 2026, this
17:50objection no longer holds, my friend.
17:53Today, artificial intelligence writes
17:55the code. You simply describe what you
17:57want, what you want to build in French
17:59with your words and the machine builds
18:01it. It's called vibe coding and it's
18:04changing who has the right to create
18:06software. And I'm not talking about
18:08stuff seen in an American video. I
18:10built my own SASs all by myself using
18:12these tools from Dakar. What used to
18:14take a team and 6 months of work in
18:172018 now takes me just a few weeks. So
18:20the technical barrier has been broken.
18:22The only thing that's still standing is
18:24the idea you have of yourself. Okay?
18:27Secondly, you're probably thinking, "
18:29But I don't have the money, you'd need
18:31millions to launch something like this.
18:33" No, the answer is no, and I'll give
18:35you the exact figure. Less than 30,000
18:38CFA francs per month for all the tools,
18:40hosting, database, tools, everything.
18:4330,000 francs per month is about € 50
18:46. Okay? That's less than a Canal Plus
18:48subscription with options. That's what
18:50some people spend on mobile data. And
18:53at the very beginning, when you launch
18:54your first SAS, the free versions are
18:56more than enough. Okay? Your first
18:58prototype can cost you 0 francs. It is
19:01exactly when you start to get traffic
19:03and many users that you begin to pay
19:05for it. Okay? So the financial barrier
19:08has also fallen. There's no more entry
19:11ticket. There's just a choice to get in
19:14or stay outside watching others do it
19:17for you. Objection number 3: you tell
19:19yourself it is too much, it is too late
19:22, the market is saturated. And that's
19:24my favorite, okay? The exact opposite
19:27of the truth. And I'll prove it to you
19:29with a very simple question. How many
19:31serious SRIs do you know for
19:33hairdressers and beauty salons? Look
19:35carefully, you'll see. Maybe zero,
19:37maybe one. How many SRIs do you know
19:39for pharmacies? Zero. For private
19:42schools, zero. For craftsmen, tailors,
19:44carpenters, zero. Real estate agencies
19:47in the neighborhood? Zero. Every zero I
19:50just told you is an entire market
19:52waiting. It's a blue ocean. It's tens
19:54of thousands of professionals with real
19:56management problems and no one to sell
19:58them. An adapted solution. So the
20:00market is not saturated, it's empty.
20:03You're not late to the party. You
20:05arrive before the party starts and the
20:07best places are taken now. Okay? Not in
20:102 years, not in 3 years now. So why now
20:13exactly? Why 2026 and not 2020? Why
20:172026 and not 2025, not 2030? Because
20:21for the first time everything is
20:23aligned. So look closely, we have the
20:25first force, we have AI, we've just
20:27seen it, the technical barrier has
20:29fallen. What used to cost millions now
20:31costs thousands. What used to take
20:33months now takes weeks. Okay? Next, the
20:36second force, and this one is from us.
20:39We have the mobile money revolution
20:41because let's be honest, the real
20:43problem with Africa's blockage has
20:45never been the technique. It was like,
20:47how do I collect money? For years, you
20:50could have the best idea in the world
20:52if your customers couldn't pay you
20:54online by credit card. You didn't have
20:56a business. Only a minority had credit
20:58cards. PayPal wasn't even properly
21:01available in most African countries.
21:03But today, look at what's happening. We
21:04have Wave, Orange Money, Free Money,
21:07MTN Money and even Visa, Mastercard,
21:09Mastercard via local aggregators, and
21:11we also have payment aggregators. So
21:14you can collect all of this directly
21:16from your SAS. The customer pays with
21:17the Wave account they already have in
21:19their pocket and the money goes
21:21straight to you. This infrastructure
21:23didn't exist 10 years ago and we're
21:25experiencing a historic event without
21:27us realizing it. And I always say, this
21:30is an opportunity to seize right now.
21:32Let's talk about the third force. Your
21:34customers are finally online. The
21:37Internet has about 60%penetration in
21:40Côte d'Ivoire, more in Côte d'Ivoire
21:42and more than 80%in large cities.
21:45Smartphones are in almost every pocket
21:47in urban areas. Every young person
21:49today has a smartphone. So, in concrete
21:51terms, each of your future customers
21:53has a computer connected to them. 24/7,
21:55the market that everyone was waiting
21:58for has arrived. It's in taxis, it's in
22:01offices, it's in shops, it's the mobile
22:03phone and that's your strength. And if
22:06you want to know what happens when
22:08these forces align, history has already
22:10given you the answer. Let's go back to
22:122012-23. E-commerce is launching in
22:14Africa. We have Jumia, we have Conga.
22:17At the time, what was everyone hearing?
22:19No one would ever pay online in Africa.
22:22People want to touch before they buy.
22:25And I was there, I remember the debates
22:27. Okay. Those who ignored these
22:29sentences and jumped in early are now
22:31worth billions of CFA francs. Those who
22:34waited to be reassured arrived in
22:362018-29 and they are still fighting.
22:39They are still fighting for the best.
22:41In 2026, we hear exactly the same
22:42sentences about the airlocks. Word for
22:45word, no one will pay for software here
22:47. And history does not repeat itself,
22:49but it rhymes. The window that opens is
22:52the same as the one in 2012 and it will
22:54not stay open for long. And while you
22:57ponder, look at what is happening. You
22:59pay for Netflix, you pay for Spotify,
23:01you pay for Canva, you already finance
23:04this model every month with your own
23:06money and you are just on the wrong
23:08side of the subscription. Okay? Let's
23:10recap fraudulently. There are no more
23:12technical barriers, AI does the coding.
23:14No more payment barriers, mobile money
23:16takes care of collecting. There are no
23:18more market barriers. Your customers
23:19are online and there are no more cost
23:21barriers. 30,000 francs per month is
23:24enough to launch a business and for the
23:26first time you no longer have any
23:29excuses. I say this kindly, but I'm
23:31telling you anyway. Whether you're a
23:34developer or not, in Dakar, Abidjan,
23:36Douala, Bamako, no matter where you are
23:39, yesterday's excuses were real, but
23:41today's are just stories we tell
23:43ourselves to stay in our mediocrity.
23:46Okay? Enough of why, let's move to what
23:49? What can we actually build? Here are
23:54eight jobs waiting for you. We have
23:57hairdressers, beauty salons, pharmacies
24:00, private schools, okay? restaurants,
24:03real estate, craftsmen and construction
24:05, transporters, clinics. The common
24:08point is zero seriousness for each of
24:10our markets and professionals who
24:12manage everything on notebooks and
24:14WhatsApp and who lose money every week.
24:16So the common point is zero seriousness
24:19for each of these sectors and we have
24:21professionals today who because of this
24:24manage their entire business on
24:26notebooks and WhatsApp and who lose
24:28money every week because of it. And
24:30here is my most important piece of
24:32advice. Choose a job that you already
24:33know. If your tent manages a school,
24:35you know the problems schools have. If
24:37you worked in a pharmacy, you know what
24:39makes them suffer. Your knowledge of
24:41the field is truly your unfair
24:42advantage and you have to exploit it to
24:44the full. And if you do the math with
24:46me on just one example, for example in
24:48Dakar, there are hundreds of hair
24:50salons and beauty salons. Let's take
24:53300 for example. A software that
24:55manages their appointments with their
24:56clients at 10,000 francs per month. You
24:58do 300 x 10,000, that's 3 million CFA
25:01francs per month with just one city,
25:03one business, and zero serious
25:05competitors. Today, find the biggest
25:08problem in the business. Solve it and
25:11charge a subscription. It's as simple
25:13as that. And if you wish to dream
25:16bigger, here are the continent's hidden
25:18treasures. More than 80%of the African
25:22economy is informal. We have millions
25:24of businesses, artisans, and service
25:26providers operating today with no
25:28software, no tracking, and nothing. And
25:30each of them has the same needs:
25:32managing sales, monitoring customers,
25:34managing inventory, and cashing
25:36properly. Okay? So digitizing the
25:38African informal economy is not just a
25:41business opportunity, it's the
25:43opportunity of a generation, and
25:45there's room for everyone and there
25:47will be more. The market is far from
25:50saturated. Okay? Wait, last step
25:53because I know what's still missing.
25:55You might be thinking, okay, he's
25:57coming, but he's him. Okay, am I going
25:59to make it? So let me introduce you to
26:02the three people I told you about at
26:04the beginning. Okay? So we have
26:06Gamaliel, a content creator who started
26:08from zero, unable to code. He launched
26:11revision today. And he had more than
26:149,000 users in less than a month, okay,
26:16on his platform. So you can go type
26:19revision. But that's without the s.
26:21Okay? You do revision, you don't put
26:23the s. And you'll see, uh, quite simply
26:27without that. We have Boubakar CC,
26:29better known as Wall of Tuto. He
26:31launched One SMS and on social networks
26:33. Okay? Uh, generally, some of you
26:36watching this video have probably used
26:38One SMS, which allows you to buy
26:40numbers for those who want to validate
26:43Google accounts and allows you to buy
26:45international numbers. Well, it
26:47generated more than 30 million francs
26:49in 6 months. Okay. And finally, we have
26:52Fad Majou, okay? Uh, that's basic,
26:55she's not a developer, okay? But with
26:57this skill that she acquired, she
27:00launched her SAS Bu Teranga. So it's an
27:02appointment-making service for beauty
27:04salons. She did it all from A to Z in
27:07video coding alone, without a dev. So
27:10here, we have three different profiles,
27:12three products and three successes. He
27:14didn't have more than you, he didn't
27:15know more than you, he didn't have more
27:17money, no more qualifications, no more
27:19connections. The only difference
27:21between them and you tonight is that
27:24they started and you can start. And so
27:26that you leave with the complete map,
27:29here is the six-step path. So we start
27:31with step number 1, which is the idea.
27:33So find a real problem in a business
27:35that you know. Okay? Then we have the
27:37second step, which is validation. You
27:39check that there are people paying
27:41before building. You always check
27:43before building. Okay? Third,
27:45construction and you use AI without a
27:48team. And 4, we have the launch, okay,
27:51you have your first paying customers.
27:54We have 5, growth, so the income
27:56accumulates, and 6, which is optional
27:58if you want, you resell and you collect
28:00several years of income at once and you
28:02let someone else develop the business
28:04for you. So one step at a time, no one
28:06is asking you to do everything this
28:08week, just one step. So as they say,
28:11one step at a time. Okay? So this
28:14video's message fits into three
28:17sentences. Wealth is no longer created
28:20like it used to be, from oil to
28:22software, from factories to
28:23subscriptions. And for the first time
28:25in history, this way of creating wealth
28:28is accessible to Africans. Not in 10
28:30years, not in the footsteps when the
28:32conditions are perfect, but now with a
28:35phone, a connection, 30,000 francs per
28:37month and consistency, and the window
28:39will not remain open forever. The
28:42e-commerce window closed around 2018
28:45and this one will close too. It is up
28:47to you to take your place, for no one
28:50will take it for you. So now if you
28:52want to take action, I'll give you two
28:54doors, and the two links will be in the
28:56description of this video. So the first
28:58door is free. I've put 7 hours of
29:00training on my YouTube channel to
29:02explain what s are and how you can
29:04launch your first s. So the link is
29:07just below, you no longer have the
29:08excuse of the price. And the second
29:11door is for those who want to go faster
29:12and no longer advance alone. You can
29:14join my private Easis Premium community
29:17. And in my community, we will build
29:19together. I will support you and you
29:21will have access to more than 16 hours
29:23of training in which you will go from
29:25beginners. Even if you don't know what
29:27an SAS is, I will teach you how to
29:29create and launch your SAS and even
29:31market it and find your first 1,000
29:33users very easily. I've helped dozens
29:35of people who do this already. Okay? So
29:37if you join the community, tell
29:39yourself that you will have all the
29:40skills you need. Okay? But no matter
29:43the door, before you even click on
29:45anything, here's what I ask of you
29:47right now. Pause this video for 30
29:49seconds and write down just one thing:
29:51a job that you know well, the one in
29:53your family, the one at your old job,
29:55the one in your neighborhood, that's
29:57all. Write something. This job I will
29:59write of is your niche. And by writing
30:01it, you've just completed step 1.
30:03You've officially started, and then the
30:06training is in the description for the
30:08rest. So I'll leave you with one last
30:10step. The best year to launch your SAS
30:13was 2 years ago. The second best year
30:17is now. And the job that you just wrote
30:19about or the job that you thought about
30:20a minute ago, put it in the comments,
30:22okay? I read everything and I'll talk
30:24about the best niches in a future video
30:25. See you in the next one. And if this
30:27video opened your eyes to the SAS
30:29business, tell me in the comments and
30:32bye.
