Why I’m learning nocode and why I think you should too.

It’s been a while.

I am not writing a how-to today. Just reaching out to you and letting you know why I have been MISSING IN ACTION HERE.

I haven’t been working a lot for while now. Being learning how to build saas ( software as a service) products without writing a single line of code or with nocode tools.

While working with startup founders as a product marketer, I noticed a major problem for founders was getting devs to work with continuously.

Here’s the cycle.

1. The founder thinks of a brilliant idea
2. hire a couple of young dev to work on the dream
3. young dev works for a while to launch version 1.
4. Dev uses product v1 as a portfolio to get a higher-paying job
5. The founder is stranded, and can’t continue with the project.
6. Dream dies.

That’s the regular cycle. It can be really worse sometimes believe me.

Why I decided to learn to build products myself

I decided to learn to build products without writing code for two reasons.

1. To launch my our saas products
2. To teach other founders how to do the same.

Only 0.6% of the world’s population can code. Imagine the numbers of Africa 🙄. It won’t be good.

My tool of choice

I picked two major tools to start with:

1. Bubble io: bubble io is a no-code tool for building saas applications. Big or small. Though with some steep learning curve, it’s worth everybit of the time invested in learning to use the tool. I was able to build a project management tool during the Bootcamp. The feeling was great really.
2. Adalo: Adalo empowers almost anyone to build apps they could launch in google or apple play store within days. Meaning founders can now build their mobile app-centred idea without writing code. Adalo works great for both simple and complex applications.

On average, you will be spending $29 per month if you decide to build your next minimum viable product using either of the two tools above. That’s way cheaper than paying a team of developers or outsourcing your product abroad.

Here’s the catch.

Nocode is:

• Cheaper
• Easier to launch
• Enable you to build solo or with a small team
• you iterate faster

As I write this post, I am currently building a tool called sellfast that will allow African creatives to sell digital products within minutes to buyers in America, Europe and India. Am building it with bubble io. It’s 50% completed

Feel free to take a look at the value proposition here. Do remember to signup to join the waiting list should it please you.

Ps: Did I tell you I’m open to work now. Imagine what my experience in product marketing and nocode MVP development would do for the dream idea you’re currently working on.

Sweet right:

How are you, your work, family and all things important to you?

Keep going champ.
