Freelance service Marketplace - any thoughts?

Lately I’ve been on a path of setting up a freelance micro-job marketplace like fiverr.com of creative and professional remote services for Nigerians. I seem to have checked almost all my check-boxes but experience has thought me NOT to bank on that.
So please I need y’all feeback;

  1. What do you think I should consider the most?
  2. Do you think a typical Nigerian business/entrepreneur is ready for it, yet? This I think is very important - timing!!!

Thanks in anticipation.

This is needed in Nigeria, but you seem to not be adding anything unique to the space. It feels like an Americanized solution for a local problem. I can’t think right now of how you can localize it, but hope you sha get my point.

You are right, i intend bringing it local.
Something new? Maybe few but nothing groundbreaking.

I own and manage Justfrom5k.com and based on almost two years of experience, I can tell you that the most difficult thing will be to get people to request for services using your platform and when requests are made, to be able to seperate the scam from the real requests.
