The verdict in three sentences
Becoming a Kolonell affiliate partner turns your network and time into income, with zero capital, no inventory and no after-sales headaches. You introduce the project, the agency delivers, and you earn a commission of 15 % on a showcase site (plus 5 % recurring) up to 8 % on an institutional contract. With 2 to 4 sales a month, a steady partner builds a realistic income of several hundred thousand FCFA.
How much you earn per sale
The core of the program is simple: you earn a percentage of the amount invoiced to the client, paid once payment clears. Rates vary by division because ticket sizes and sales cycles differ.
| Division | Sale commission | Recurring | Average ticket 2026 | Commission per sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Showcase | 15 % | 5 % / month | 250,000 – 1,200,000 FCFA | 37,500 – 180,000 FCFA |
| E-commerce | 12 % | 5 % / month | 1,000,000 – 4,000,000 FCFA | 120,000 – 480,000 FCFA |
| Marketplace | 10 % | — | 2,500,000 – 12,000,000 FCFA | 250,000 – 1,200,000 FCFA |
| Institutional | 8 % | — | 5,000,000 – 25,000,000 FCFA | 400,000 – 2,000,000 FCFA |
The 5 % recurring on showcase and e-commerce applies to maintenance and SEO subscriptions for as long as the client stays active — that's what turns a one-off effort into an annuity. Payments are made via mobile money (Wave, Orange Money) or bank transfer, usually within 7 days of the client's payment clearing.
Why it's a risk-free model
Unlike reselling or trading, the affiliate carries no cost. Let's compare three ways to earn money with digital in 2026.
| Model | Starting capital | Stock | Support / delivery | Commission / margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kolonell affiliate | 0 FCFA | None | None (agency handles) | 8 – 20 % |
| Product reselling | 200,000+ FCFA | Yes | Yes | 10 – 30 % |
| Freelance dev | Training | No | Yes (support) | 100 % but heavy time |
Your only investment is prospecting time and the quality of your pitch. The agency supplies the assets: personalized demos, price grid, quote generator. You remain the trusted contact; we carry the tech.

Mini case study
Fatou, a teacher in Thiès, knows many shop owners through her neighborhood market. She joins the program and aims for 3 showcase sales a month. Two clients take a Growth plan at 500,000 FCFA and one a Premium at 1,200,000 FCFA.
Sale commission: (500,000 × 2 + 1,200,000) × 15 % = 330,000 FCFA in the first month. She also puts the 3 clients on maintenance at 75,000 FCFA/month: recurring = 3 × 75,000 × 5 % = 11,250 FCFA/month. After 6 months with 18 retained clients, her passive recurring reaches 67,500 FCFA/month on top of that month's sales.
FAQ
Do I need technical skills to be an affiliate? No. You sell an outcome (a site that pays off), not code. The agency handles 100 % of production. Good relationships and a 30-second pitch are enough.
When exactly do I get paid? Commission is paid after Kolonell collects the deposit or balance, usually within 7 days, via Wave, Orange Money or bank transfer.
How many sales per month are realistic? An active part-time affiliate closes 2 to 4 showcase sales/month after 2-3 months of ramp-up. Full-time with a strong network, more.
Is there exclusivity or a joining fee? No joining fee, no forced exclusivity. You register your leads, we track who brought whom, and the commission is yours.
Can I sell all four divisions? Yes. Many start with showcase sites (short cycle) then move up to e-commerce and institutional, where tickets — and commissions — are far higher.
