Who it's for

Solo Nigerian music producers, podcast creators, and independent filmmakers who need to push content to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and local platforms without hiring a distributor or paying per-release fees.

How to build it

1. Build a simple web dashboard that connects to Spotify for Artists, DistroKid API, and YouTube via OAuth — let creators upload one audio file and schedule it across platforms. 2. Add metadata management (cover art, credits, lyrics) so creators fill it once, not per platform. 3. Integrate with local payment providers (Paystack, Flutterwave) to let creators set their own subscription tier ($5–50/mo) for advanced features like analytics, bulk upload, and playlist pitching. 4. Start with audio-only (music + podcasts); launch analytics dashboard showing plays, revenue, listener location by month 3. 5. Reach out directly to 50 producers on Twitter/Instagram; offer 3 months free if they refer 2 friends — grow to 500 paying users before adding video.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian creators already lose 30–40% of revenue to distributors (DistroKid, CD Baby). You charge 10–15% flat or a $5–10/mo sub — undercut the market by 70%. You speak Pidgin/Yoruba in onboarding. You integrate Paystack payouts (instant to NGN) so creators see money faster than waiting for Stripe batches. Word-of-mouth spreads fast in Lagos/Accra music circles. You can build this for ~$2K and hit
