@@lifeofnejo amazing shots and cinematography, that on top of the great job on the business. I understand how hard it must be to be running one next to the creative expression that is this channel

I moved to a new house, so in the process of moving and setting down. Once I’m settled, we are back! Thanks for checking 🙏

@@lifeofnejo look forward to your return !!!

Hey Amigo! Thanks! I know, that's crazy! FA is doing really well and we have lots different sub-products under the main startup. Going good!

Thanks for watching amigo 🙏

Thanks for the comment amigo! 💚🙏

Oh yes, I have created a video that spoke about this but I’ll make one soon that is strictly on this.

Thanks for watching amigo! 🙏

Thanks for the comment amigo. Price is contextual. So hiring someone who charges higher than others is not necessarily a “scam” I have built startups whereby the entire UI costed me below $800, I’ve built projects where the entire UI was $150 and I’ve built a project where the UI costed above $10k and I’ve built projects where I designed the UI myself. It depends on the project and what I’m looking for at that time. For my startup/project spoken about in this video, I hired someone with domain experience in the field I was building a project in and not just any UI designer. I was looking for both skill, ease of communication and domain experience. I wanted someone who had designed products in this space (which was the best decision for me and the startup at that time.) Because of his domain experience, he was able to provide 100x better user flow designs and experience than what I “the founder” could have ever thought to bring to the table. Besides him having domain experience in designing products within the space, he was also someone who is an avid user of products within the space, so he knew and understood the customer journey, pain points etc. This is not something just any designer will have. So I went very niche in my hiring-> A UI/UX designer who designs in my product space + a designer who understands the product and is a user of similar products. This is super niche and it was warranted for that project. So this comes at a premium which I was happy to pay, I could have gone for cheaper guys at any time. Heck, before I became a founder, I used to provide website designs (with Wordpress) for clients and I charged $3k above, these websites took me less than 2days because I leveraged plugins etc. You can get people to do the same work for $200 or even less. The clients weren’t scammed, they had other options especially with platforms like Fiverr but they chose me because of my approach to design and other things. If you are going through a divorce, you can hire any lawyer or hire a divorce lawyer whose domain is strictly divorces. Their cost will definitely be higher than the average lawyer or a general practise lawyer. Regarding DB cost, every project has different needs and architecture. So saying a DB will cost $20 for “any” app is not correct especially when you don’t know the architecture behind the app. We have more than 50 AWS Lambdas, countless Event Bridges, countless SQS and various EC2 instances + 101 other services that makes no sense for me to mention. The point is - different app or project has different architectural needs depending on the industry and problem being solved.

Having countless cloud function is quite a bad approach))unless for some reason you want only serverless…😊

20 pages that looks identical to the other 150 people that bought it for $500 but with your logo thrown on 😂

Love Amigo! 💚🙏

It is Footy Amigo and Arb Amigo. FootyAmigo.com and ArbAmigo.com 💚

For sure! I’m not sure what exactly you would like to know but here’s a summary; 1. I started off as a graphics designer. Then when I saw most clients who wanted logos also asked if I did website designs, I then learnt how to create websites with Wordpress. I later learnt digital marketing and SEO since most clients wanted to know how to make the website I built for them rank on google, etc. So, I have graphics design skills, web design (Wordpress) skills, digital marketing and SEO. But I dont actually write code. 2. I moved from Nigeria to London in 2015 to get a Masters in Business Information Systems Management. 3. I got the Exceptional Talent in Tech Visa from the UK, this is how I was able to stay back and continue living in London. 4. I create vlogs from time to time on my channel but I want to make it more consistent. Let me know if this gives a rough idea of my background. Cheers

Looooool! 😅 please don’t make bring those back! But seriously, I try to mix things up so all aspects of my life can be shown rather than the buttoned up parts. You are right about UGC contents, the only issue is that sports betting (gambling) generally has a “soft bad rep”. 100s of millions of people bet on sports but if you ask anyone they will likely say they don’t because it’s lowkey a “taboo topic” I’m not sure if you understand what I mean or if I explained it how i intended to.

@@lifeofnejo I see, then you should build a free product not linked to gambling at all but sports and then email users to promote footyamigo. like an app that shows all the sports events on earth for example

Thanks Amigo! Thanks for watching and for the comment

You are on the right track! Having tech skills will always open doors for you (for your own projects and for clients who want to hire you)

Thanks for the comment Amigo David!! I appreciate the comment and continued support! Let’s win!! 💚🙏

I appreciate the support amigo!💚🙏

Loooool! No im not Tyson’s brother! Thanks amigo 🙏

Hey Amigo! Thanks for watching, I’ve been wearing vintage watches lately. The particular one in this video is from a brand called Grovana

I’ve always been an entrepreneur. I started by having a Wordpress design (and graphics design) agency. So I provided those services to businesses and clients. Along the line I learnt digital marketing and become an expert in it, I used that skill in various ways as well (e.g providing as a service etc)

Thanks for watching and for the comment amigo! 💚🙏

Thanks, legend! 🙌

Mike is an MVP!! 💚🚀

Thanks for the comment and yes the cost does rack up! I think the people who got it “easy” are founders who are technical and can code! I envy them 😅 because they can build everything without hiring, for non-technical founders like myself, we have to hire developers or build a team to bring our ideas to reality! Regarding how many users our platform has, these figures are not public but it’s well over 40k+ last time I checked. ( … after typing this, I just realised I haven’t paid attention to number of users in so long because the platform now runs on auto-pilot and I basically only reply to support emails if any.)

Thanks for the comment and for watching amigo! Yes, it’s 100% organic. So we rely on SEO, content and a few free tools we’ve built that brings very targeted users to our platform.

Thanks for the comment amigo! From what I’ve read and seen, they simply downsized. Lots of locations in London has been shutdown, so I believe they’ve downsized drastically in order to get some level of profitability.

Thanks for watching Amigo 🙏

Yes!!! Bringing it back!!! 💚

Yo! I appreciate that a lot! Thanks 💚🙏

Hey amigo! Thanks for the comment and question! So, I’ve never had a job, so I have no idea how to give advice related to managing a normal 9-5 and creating/running a startup. That being said, if I’m to give a generic advice, it would be “do not quit your job to start a startup, keep the job and do the startup on the side” until it starts making some type of money/profit because you will need some sort of income to maintain your life and also pay for expenses involved with creating a startup. Regarding how to research and exploit a niche, I’ve been thinking about creating a video about this because it’s a very deep conversation that requires its own video. I’ll make a note now to remind myself to bump that video up in my release schedule because other amigos have also asked this. But here’s the punchline, my advice is to create a startup that you have “some type of” experience in, understand / faced the issue or problem yourself (or someone in your circle) AND most importantly- create something people are already paying for i.e create something that paying for the solution of that pain or need is natural to people in the niche! I say this because there are a lot of “nice to have” products people are spending months, man power and money building that won’t make a dime let alone break even or make profit. I always advice people to create things that people either already pay for or already over pay for it’s alternative. Hope this helps. (I wrote this reply on a walk, so excuse any typos) Stay blessed amigo 💚

Yes sir!!! 💚

@@lifeofnejo by the way, top dressed as always! And also a question: Do you think, you can do vlog regularly or doesn't it fit to your lifestyle?

Thanks for watching amigo 💚

Oh I have a full list of the cameras I use in the description section

Hey Pandey! I use an HP ENVY laptop! Thanks 💚🙏

Hey Amigo! Thanks for the comment. I use slack to speak to someone after I have hired them. Before hiring, I always chat with telegram. I mainly hire people from Upwork, so from Upwork I get them on telegram, have a zoom call etc before we start talking on slack. I have a video on my channel where I break down how I hire developers to my team! 🙏

​@@lifeofnejo wow amazing and do you pay them using Upwork or your own method ?

Thanks for watching Amigo 💚

Do you own a startup too?

@@DanOladipo Been thinking about it. About to start it soon.

Thanks Amigo 🙏💚

Hello, yes I’ve always been an entrepreneur, so I had a web and graphics design agency. (And did lots of other mini personal projects like blogging, digital products etc)

Tanks Amigo! I appreciate you watching and your comment! 💚🙏

Thanks Amigo, I appreciate the concern! Cheers

😂😂

Don’t you think 2 full stacks won’t be more expensive than a frontend and a backend?

@@JohnDataAnalyst Maybe slightly expensive I am not sure, but depending on the tech stack and complexity, most frontend dev. can now write backend code

Hey Amigo, sorry for the late reply. I think 2 full stack would be good but from my personal experience, most full stack are not VERY VERY good either front end. (Personal experience) So, people who are strictly front end are able to do better front end tasks compared to a full stack (again, just my personal experience) That being said, I’ve seen that full stack who are now full stack but started as front end tend to be the “best” types of full stack (in my opinion and personal experience) So, for me I’ll have 2 full stack if one of them started as front end and then matured into full stack but I’ll never hire 2 full stacks that were first backend devs before maturing to full stack. Hope this makes sense

Thanks Amigo
