What is Hotmart?
Hotmart is a company that promotes entrepreneurship and education through the creation and distribution of digital products.
With our platform, anyone can sell their own digital products or buy online courses, e-books, subscriptions or other content with complete security.
We also offer the best solutions for those who want to start from scratch, migrate a brick-and-mortar business to the online world, jump-start a stalled opportunity, learn a new skill, or promote products to an audience.
We have been in the market for ten years and have more than 26 million users, among creators, affiliates and buyers, and about 370,000 registered products.
We are also present worldwide, promoting entrepreneurship and distance education in 188 countries.
But, far beyond that, our mission is to help people expand possibilities and be a part of our universe. Whether it’s creating a digital product, helping to promote it to more people, or taking an online course to learn something new.
What is a digital product?
Digital products are materials produced and distributed in an entirely digital way, such as online courses, e-books, subscription services, and podcasts.
They are becoming increasingly popular, especially with the advance of the mobile web and smartphones. This ensures that more people have access to information wherever they are.
It’s no wonder that the fastest growing types of digital products are educational ones, such as courses and video lessons. This way, it’s possible to learn a new skill more easily.
What is the job of a digital creator?
A digital creator is a person who has knowledge on a subject and decides to turn that skill into a digital product, such as an online course.
For example, a person with experience in smartphone maintenance can create a series of digital video lessons and checklists in which he teaches what they know and sell this content on an online platform.
With Hotmart, digital creators find a space to host and sell their products with total security. Registration is free and you only pay a fee when and if you make a sale.
We also offer a series of solutions and tools that make the creators’ life even easier, such as an exclusive, reliable and international payment method and a specialized support team.
And, to help more and more people to live their passions and sell more and better, Hotmart also offers several materials and educational content completely free, such as e-books, videos, texts, webinars and courses on marketing and sales.
How does Hotmart work?
Hotmart provides a platform where people with some kind of skill or knowledge can sell digital products much more easily around the world and where Buyers can purchase an online course with complete security.
Here’s how it works:
- A person with knowledge in some area, such as crafts, cooking, music or a foreign language decides to create a digital product – like an e-book or an online course – to share this skill with others. This person is called a digital creator.
- If the creator wants, they can allow people who are good at making sales to help promote the product on social media, with videos, paid ads, etc. Each sale they make, they receive a commission. They are called affiliates.
- People who are looking to learn something new can buy this digital product directly from our platform or through the exclusive links from creators or affiliates. All with our own 100% secure payment method.
We also provide several tools for creators and affiliates to create custom sales pages, and closely track their sales and commissions. And buyers can access all the courses and digital products they’ve purchased just a click away.
That is, with Hotmart, the entire sales process and access to products is done in one place.
For creators and affiliates, this means you don’t have to worry about hiring several different services and learning how to use several different tools. And, for buyers, they have the guarantee of accessing their courses and products wherever and whenever they want.

Protection for buyers
According to Invesp, Global online retail sales are growing steadily, as is digital buyer penetration, which reached close to 48% worldwide in 2018 . Also, the number of digital buyers is expected to reach 2.14 billion people by 2021.
It’s safe to say people feel a lot more secure purchasing online.
Since its birth, the digital market has separated itself from brick-and-mortar businesses in terms of saving time, ease of payment, the lack of lines, and the possibility of purchasing a product that is sometimes not even available in the country you live in.
Even so, there is still a considerable share of the population who is somewhat afraid of shopping online.
The reasons for this behavior are wide: fear of exposing personal data, the chances of not actually receiving the product, or even falling for scams.
But, let’s take a minute and look at how Hotmart has a solution to all of these possible problems, allowing you to purchase with peace of mind.
