Who it's for
Solo developer or 2-person team launching a mobile app; sells to office workers in Lagos, Abuja, Nairobi, Accra earning ₦150k+/month who sit 8+ hours daily.
How to build it
1. Interview 20 corporate office workers (banks, tech hubs, BPO centers in Lagos/Abuja) about neck, back, wrist pain and when they move during the day—validate willingness to pay ₦2,500/month.
2. Record 30–40 short video routines (3–7 min each) focusing on office-specific pain points: lower back, tight shoulders, wrist strain, eye fatigue—film in basic home setup or rent a small studio for 3 days.
3. Build a simple mobile app (React Native or Flutter) with video playback, daily push reminders at 10am/2pm/5pm, and a basic progress tracker showing streaks.
4. Set up Flutterwave or Paystack for monthly subscriptions (₦2,500–₦5,000) and launch with a free 7-day trial to drive sign-ups.
5. Acquire first 100 users via WhatsApp groups, LinkedIn posts targeting HR contacts, and free trials in 3–5 corporate offices; measure retention and CAC before scaling.
