You make things. An e-book, a Canva template, a workbook, a preset pack. Kivoo exists so you can sell them, simply, to the people who follow you. This blog is where we explain how.
What Kivoo does
Kivoo is a selling platform for African creators. You open an online store, add your digital products, set your price, publish. Your store is live at an address of your own, your-name.kivoo.co, with no technical skills.
Your buyers pay by mobile money: MTN Mobile Money and Orange Money in Cameroon for now. As soon as the payment is confirmed, Kivoo delivers the file by email, with a download link. You send nothing by hand.
Opening a store is free. Kivoo keeps a 10% commission on each paid sale, and nothing else: no subscription, no setup fee. The rest grows your balance, which you withdraw to your mobile money account whenever you want.
Today, you can sell files: e-books, PDFs, templates, creative assets, audio, photos and videos. Other product types are coming: courses, licences, coaching.
Who this blog is for
You, if you create and want to earn from it. Trainer, illustrator, photographer, coach, author, consultant: the trade does not matter. You do not need technical skills to read this blog, nor to use Kivoo.
It is also for you if you are still hesitating. Many creators already have the product, but not the store. The blog is here to show that the step is smaller than it looks.
What you will read here
The blog is organised in five rubrics. Each rubric has its own page, and each article belongs to only one.
Guides
Concrete step-by-step walkthroughs for using Kivoo: create your store, add a product, publish, share your store address, request a withdrawal. The first one is already online: Selling your first file with Kivoo.
Digital products
What to sell, and how to present it. Which format for an e-book, how to describe a template, what price to ask for a cheat sheet. Product ideas you can create with what you already know.
Mobile money and payments
How your buyers pay, what you see on your side, how the commission and the balance work. We start with Mobile money: how your buyers pay.
Kivoo news
What changes on the platform: new product types, new dashboard features, added countries and operators. When something moves, this is where we tell it.
Creators
Creators who sell with Kivoo tell what they do, what worked and what they would do differently. Not adverts: real accounts.
How we write
Short sentences. Facts checked against the platform as it exists today, not as we imagine it in a year. When a feature does not exist yet, we say so. The blog is in French and in English; you switch language at the top of the page.
Would you like us to cover a topic, or do you have a question this blog should answer? Write to us at support@kivoo.africa. The best guide ideas come from creators.
Where to start
If you do not have a store yet, create it: it takes a few minutes, and you pay nothing before your first sale. Then read the first-file guide. If you first want to know what you will receive on a sale, the pricing page lets you simulate an amount.
Happy reading, and happy selling.
