Hi everyone @ProductHunt, We're super excited to launch here! Everyone wants to learn new stuff, but nobody has the attention span for long boring classes. KwaKwa enables everyone to easily create and publish paid courses and offer them to their followers, ALL ON MOBILE. Whether you’re a creator, a business or just someone who knows stuff and wants to make money out of sharing your knowledge, KwaKwa is here for you. Creating a paid course is as easy as creating an Instagram Story. Use video, images, text, gifs, stickers, polls, quizzes, whatever. You decide how much to charge and KwaKwa takes care of everything else - landing page, billing, support, delivery. KwaKwa is free for creators, and you retain 90% of revenues collected from course participants (after transaction clearance fee by a third party vendor). Some early bird creators are already making tens of thousands of dollars monthly by creating and publishing their courses through KwaKwa. So turn your expertise into income with KwaKwa’s social media like experience and give your audience an intimate micro learning journey that they will never forget. We would love to hear your thoughts and comments!

Looks really really cool, and the demo is super intuitive. Combining the social media type creative process with more in depth content is super smart.

@producthunt @shaulmert Congrats on the KwaKwa release! It's an interesting idea to give your audience a personal microlearning journey!

@productunt @shaulmert it looks great and i instantly got what the value i'm getting is - i think it correctly addresses the way the new generations consume content and knowledge: small and precise portions. i just love how it brings value immediatly.

@producthunt @shaulmert Congrats on your incredible launch! Wishing you an amazing journey forward. What’s been the most valuable lesson learned during this process?
Alon Kestecher
@producthunt @shaulmert @antonikozelski Thanks Antoni, you are welcome to try is yourself.
Reem Sherman
Good luck! What will be the biggest difference from other platforms like Udemy?
Shaul Olmert
@reemsherman Thanks Reem. Have you tried creating or even participating in courses by some old school platforms? Data shows that they have very low completion rates of about 10% (for instance: https://novoed.com/resources/blo....) Our differentiator is that we adopted the content format of popular platforms such as Instagrm and Snap, making it super easy to create and super rewarding to consume the classes. try it out!

@helmet_remover We are here for everyone's benefit Goldy! :-)

What an interesting take on a course platform?! Sounds like you are targeting social media creators and why not mimic the content style for the course experience. Very unique! And honestly, the idea of making it free and only charge a fee if creators make a sale is great - aligning your incentive with creators. Congrats on launching this cool product @shaulmert and team!

@tonyhanded thanks 🙏
Itay Dressler
Congrats on the launch ❤️ How can I manage my subscribers in the app? Do I get access to their usage data?
Alon Kestecher
@itayd thanks! We do have an analytics layer so that you can see some very valuable insights, and we are planning on releasing additional metrics very soon!
Adar Hay
Super interesting. I can see how this could be valuable for creators. Creating courses on sites like Udemy is hard, and consuming them is hard as well
Shaul Olmert
@adarhay Thanks Adar. We also believe it isw much more fun to consume content that way. We are seeing completion rates by consumers of over 70% as oppose to 5-15% industry standard
Yair Kivaiko
Damn, this is awesome!!! I love this. What a cool approach
Ehud b
@kobaiko when is your course launched date??
Eldad Ben Tora
This is exactly what I need. Thank you!
On Freund
That's awesome. Does it cost anything?
Federico Zuluaga Knorr
@on just looked it up in their FAQ's: "KwaKwa is 100% free and we have no monthly charges. We deduct a flat 10% cut from every sale, so we only make money if you do. Course pricing is strictly decided by you."
Shaul Olmert
@on @federico_zuluaga_knorr Indeed. We don't charge creators for using the app. Consumers pay whatever price the creator has determined, and Kwakwa shares 10% of this income. We never make any money unless you do, and even then- you get the lion share.
Andriy Semenets
Congratulations on the launch! I love that both Android and iOS versions are available.
Eze Vidra
Congrats on coming out of stealth!
Derek
This looks neat. What’s the story behind the name? And how do you pronounce it?
Ehud b
@derkolstad great question: KwaKwa is actually a Cootie Catcher in Hebrew :) The movement of the shape embodies something that we can relate to.
Yaniv Presler
Wow. I was just searching for a solution for this. I am creating a course. Can I create the lesson in any language? Do you transfer the money to a bank? Very interesting.
Shaul Olmert
@yaniv_presler Thanks. Yes we support any language and make bank transfers internationally
Asaf Hochman
Such an underserved market! Social platforms definitely lack a sufficient end-to-end solution to help creators produce and monetize VOD content. Good luck!
Ehud b
@asafhoch thanks 🙏🙌
Yam Regev
I have a friend who started using KwaKwa for her career-building and LinkedIn profile optimization business. Her reactions are over the top. Next - ME!

Woot woot!! 🎊

@ehudbasis Thank you, whoever you may be
Asaf Nakash
love to see that is is providing end-to-end service for online courses, I'm curious about the size of this market; I thought that only a small number of creators were involved in designing courses. Nevertheless, the execution looks impressive.
Shaul Olmert
@nakashon Thanks Asaf. We are pleasantly surprised to learn that many medium-size creators, who have thousands or tens of thousands of followers, are actually achieving high engagement to their courses. It's not only for the top tier ones, it works really well for those who have good content authoring skills
Roy Naar
What’s the minimum content I should bring with me? And do you help with creating clips like intros and things like that?
Ilan Leibovich
@r0yiki There's no real minimum and you can launch a course with as much content as you wish that you feel your audience will enjoy. We do recommend running courses with at least 10 episodes, where each episode should include about 5 minutes of video and an enrichment (quiz, poll, embeds, etc.)
Liat Mordechay
That sounds amazing @shaulmert - well done on this achievement!!! How long does a typical course takes?
Shaul Olmert
@liatmord Thanks Liat. We have courses at all lengths. The key is that creators can use the app to create content they they are used to create content on their social platforms. kength and depth are variable and up to you!
