A well-run WhatsApp shop can handle 5 to 15 orders a week at the start, which means 150,000 to 600,000 FCFA (about $250 to $1,000) in monthly revenue depending on the average order value (an illustrative range estimated for the course, not measured; your results depend on your product, your prices and how consistent you are).

A beginner freelancer in Dakar commonly charges 25,000 to 75,000 FCFA (about $40 to $125) for a simple project (a set of social media posts, a campaign visual, one website page, a short translation). Three to five projects a month bring in an extra 100,000 to 300,000 FCFA (about $165 to $500), depending on the skill and the time available (rates charged in Dakar in September 2026; no income is guaranteed).

Frequently asked questions

How do I pay?

Via Wave or Orange Money. After enrolling you receive a pro forma invoice by email with the number to pay. Send the proof on WhatsApp: your access is activated within 24 business hours.

How long do I keep access?

For life, updates included. Learn at your own pace and revisit lessons as often as you need.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Lessons, exercises and quizzes are designed for a phone on 3G: light text, compressed images, no app to install.

How do I get the certificate?

Complete the lessons, pass each module quiz with at least 70% and submit your final project: an instructor reviews and approves it (feedback within 5 working days). The certificate is then generated, with a unique number and a public verification page.

Can I get a refund?

The first module of every course is free to preview so you can decide before paying. Once access is activated the course is not refundable; write to us on WhatsApp if you run into trouble and we will find a solution.

Is there any support?

Yes: an "Ask a question" button in every lesson (an instructor answers by email within 2 working days), project reviews by an instructor (feedback within 5 working days), the community forum and Kolonell Academy WhatsApp.
