A WhatsApp store run with the method from this course (10 products, an average order around 15,000 FCFA (about $25), floor prices at a 35% net margin) can handle 20 to 100 orders a month depending on the catalog and the time invested, which means 300,000 to 1,500,000 FCFA (about $500 to $2,500) in monthly revenue and 100,000 to 500,000 FCFA (about $170 to $830) in net margin before tax. The worked example used throughout the course also shows where lost money goes: the anti-dispute process from module 3 brings losses (refused parcels, fake screenshots) down from more than 5% to less than 1% of revenue, and the published delivery rate card from module 4 turns 32,000 FCFA of monthly losses into 1,000 FCFA. These are illustrative orders of magnitude (estimates built for the course, not measured results); results depend on the product, consistency and local competition.

Selling your services: offer, quote and negotiation

A three-tier offer, a proposal that gets signed and discounts that always come with something in return

  • 60 exercises
  • 2 projects

A freelancer who moves from one-off jobs at 25,000 to 75,000 FCFA (about $40 to $125) to a tiered offer typically sells the standard tier for 100,000 to 250,000 FCFA (about $165 to $415, or 150 to 380 euros), or a retainer of 75,000 to 150,000 FCFA (about $125 to $250) per month. With 2 to 4 active clients, that means 250,000 to 600,000 FCFA (about $415 to $1,000, or 380 to 915 euros) collected per month, depending on the skill and the niche (field estimate, Dakar and Abidjan 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.
