Hello World,
I’m building a platform called Abeg Fix to make it easier for people in Nigeria to find and connect with artisans and service providers.
Think of plumbers, electricians, mechanics, tailors, carpenters, painters, AC technicians, welders, tilers, barbers, makeup artists and other skilled professionals.
The idea is simple:
Artisans create a profile → showcase their work → people can discover their services.
I'm currently onboarding the first group of artisans, and creating a profile is free.
If you're an artisan, you can create your profile here
https://abegfix.com/
You can add information about your business, your services, your location, contact details and examples of your work.
I'm also interested in hearing from people who regularly hire artisans.
What do you think is the biggest problem when trying to find a reliable artisan in Nigeria?
Is it finding someone nearby?
Knowing whether they're actually good?
Getting someone to respond?
Knowing what they charge?
Or something else?
I'd genuinely like to hear your experiences because I'm building Abeg Fix around this problem.
If you know an artisan who should be on the platform, feel free to send them this post.
Thanks, and I'd appreciate any feedback — good or bad.

You’ve listed the biggest problems in that area already.
Finding someone nearby, who’s good at what they do and how much they charge.
You should actually go to where these companies/businesses are and interview them. That way you’ll get to know what they need most
@Ennyswife is actually building a similar product. She might be of help.
The idea sounds like Etsy
Etsy? in what way?
