The importance of authentic content in business
Efy Saboutey begins by stressing a fundamental principle: authenticity. According to him, the content that best resonates with audiences is that which reflects a sincere and relatable identity. This was a key ingredient in his strategy to multiply by 400 the traffic to his site, now a benchmark in French-speaking African media.
Social networks, particularly Instagram, have played a central role in this transformation. Efy explains how carousel publications enabled her to capture the attention of her audience while conveying clear and precise messages. This strategy not only increased its visibility, but also created a direct bridge with potential customers.
The keys to growth: associates and structuring
Based on his experience, Efy insists on the importance of partnering with people who complement his skills. For him, a good partner is an essential lever for extending vision and optimizing business management. He also shares practical strategies for effectively structuring the search for clients, an often underestimated but crucial aspect for growing agencies and companies.
Launch and price services

AI and productivity: a new era for business
The episode also explores the impact of artificial intelligence in the business world. For Efy, AI doesn't replace human creativity, but complements it. By optimizing processes and automating certain tasks such as content creation, AI tools enable entrepreneurs to focus on high value-added activities while improving their productivity.
Drawing on international experience
Efy's stay in the United States was a pivotal moment. This kind of international experience, he says, offers a unique perspective on global opportunities while strengthening local skills. He encourages entrepreneurs to be open to such experiences, which can be a source of inspiration for pushing back boundaries.
Monetize your passion without pitfalls
