Over the course of 2 years I have built a web application to reward users for reading articles. The web app has advertisers section where bloggers can create campaign with their links and get traffic to their website in a strategy called arbitrage blogging. The web application targets Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South africa. Users have to read through 5 pages to generate a code to confirm task is completed.

I have tested the system with few users and the returns are impressive. If a blogger spend 10,000$ to run campaign on the platform he gets 5-7% returns which is higher than what they currently get on facebook ads and tiktok ads.

Background

I HAVE 10+ years in google adsense arbitrage, back in the days we use to create facebook groups and share articles there and generate traffic which brings in thousands of dollars monthly until facebook killed group reach rendering our method useless.

I seek investors to raise capital to run ads on social media to acquire the initial users. Please DM if you are interested so we can talk in details

This sub reddit has future, Mod please add more flairs such as cars, iphones, androids, laptops, games to make it easy for users to filter posts

u/Top_Philosopher1161 shared a post on how he made 1 million cedis (https://www.reddit.com/r/TechGhana/comments/1tkfq5s/i_really_made_over_1m_cedis_with_my_saas_from/) and people are going ballastic calling his screenshot fake and all that simply because he doesnt want to review the website url. When you see someone making it you should ask and learn some valuable lessons which you can implement in your product. I earn more than what he does with my saas ( am a ghanaian) but I kept quite scrolling through to learn some secrets and he shared a secret many over looked because you were focused on the wrong thing - wanting him to reveal his app idea. This is what he said-

1. Offer it free for a long time. Tiktok and Facebook ads. On Tiktok you can pay people to pay but in the beginning, have your own Tiktok too.
2. Create a community (WhatsApp group maybe), where they can come and ask questions.
3. When you get more people, put more things behind ads or referrals and have a way to track and give rewards.
4. This will help you get more people. Build the product to be very useful that they don't see any other way to achieve same without the app.

Herh do you know how priceless that information is , I had to figure it my self last year after I kept on loosing money on fb/tiktok ads. Growing a community is the number 1 thing you should do when you start your saas.

I use to run adverts to my website and had no results and almost gave up on my idea then i started running ads to my whatsapp and facebook messenger and started getting loyal users. When they contact me I chat with them and help them with any question and that is what made them loyal.

Always be open minded to learn from the little information shared here, no one is obligated to reveal his app/website idea so get over it.
