Who it's for

Solo builder or 2-person team; sells to: Nigerian content creators, marketing agencies, e-commerce sellers, and regional influencers who need branded short links with analytics

How to build it

1. Build a simple dashboard (Next.js/React) where users sign up, add their custom domain, generate short links, and see click counts + referrer data 2. Set up a link redirect service (Node/Go backend) that tracks clicks in PostgreSQL and redirects instantly—optimize for <100ms latency 3. Add basic analytics: clicks per link, geographic origin, device type, referrer—export as CSV 4. Implement Stripe checkout for monthly tiers (Starter ₦10k/mo for 5k clicks, Pro ₦35k/mo for 50k clicks, Enterprise custom) 5. Launch on Twitter/LinkedIn targeting Nigerian creators and agencies; offer 7-day free trial; get 10 paying customers before expanding features

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian builders can charge in Naira via Stripe or Paystack, undercut global competitors on price (₦10-35k vs $30-100/mo), and own the local creator economy—most African link shorteners are clunky or overpriced; fast, reliable, and localized onboarding wins here
