Kreatesell pays over N100m to African creators in one first year of operation
KreateSell, an online platform for digital creators, has announced a significant achievement, reporting over N100 million paid to African creators within its first 12 months of operation. This milestone marks a notable moment for the platform, which launched exclusively with beta testers in May 2023.
The company has focused on empowering African creators by providing a platform to monetise their digital content. Since its pre-launch, KreateSell has paid out substantial amounts to its creators, establishing itself as a significant player in the creator economy. Over 568 African creators have benefited, receiving payments in more than 50 foreign currencies.
Co-founder Daniel Saviours reflected on the platform’s journey, emphasising the dedication to refining KreateSell’s features to better serve creators.
“The past 12 months were spent rigorously testing and refining the platform to ensure it’s rock-solid for onboarding African creators and their digital creations,” Saviours stated.
“We keep asking ourselves, what can we do to make things easier for African creators? How can we help them sell more of their digital creations? What do they need, and how can we make it easily accessible for them? Luckily for us, we did not work alone. We had the help of 500+ African creators who showed us how to serve the creator economy better.”
The platform’s success is underscored by 3,279 transactions, illustrating the growing demand for African creative content. KreateSell supports creators from across Africa, with a significant number based in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda.
In addition to supporting creators, KreateSell has also built a robust network of over 800 affiliate marketers. These marketers have collectively earned N28,654,727, highlighting the inclusive nature of the platform’s ecosystem.
“This not only motivates affiliate marketers but also encourages every African that they too can be a part of the creator economy without necessarily having to create,” Saviours added.
The platform’s unique approach to product delivery ensures customers receive their purchased products via WhatsApp messages and emails, setting a new standard for digital transactions. This, coupled with the ability to earn in over 50 currencies, including cryptocurrencies, ensures creators can reach a global audience with ease.
KreateSell’s rapid growth and substantial impact within 12 months of operation in the Nigerian market highlight the platform’s potential to transform the African creator economy.
“This accomplishment signifies the potential for everyday individuals to turn their hobbies, knowledge, ideas, and passions into lucrative digital products,” Saviours said. Whether it’s creating an online course or publishing an ebook, KreateSell aims to enable every African to monetize their skills on a global scale.
Looking ahead, KreateSell envisions continuing its mission to help digital creators sell more while simplifying the process. The milestone of 100 million naira in payouts is just the beginning of KreateSell’s journey towards revolutionizing the way African creators monetize their knowledge and talents.
