From Hobby to Full-Time Business

Chanda's journey with Marketly

The Beginning

Chanda started as a home cook who loved sharing Zambian recipes with friends and family. What began as a simple WhatsApp group sharing cooking tips quickly grew into a community of over 500 food enthusiasts.

The Challenge

As demand grew, Chanda struggled to manage requests and share recipes efficiently. She needed a way to organize her content and potentially monetize her passion, but didn't know where to start in the digital space.

The Solution

In 2022, Chanda discovered Marketly and decided to compile her best recipes into digital eBooks. She started with just 5 recipes priced at K50 each. The process was simple: upload the PDF, set the price, and share the link with her WhatsApp group.

The Turning Point

Within the first month, Chanda sold over 200 eBooks. The instant mobile money payments meant she received funds immediately after each sale. She reinvested her earnings into creating more professional recipe books with photos.

Growth & Expansion

Using Marketly's analytics, Chanda identified her most popular recipes and created themed collections. She expanded into:

  • Traditional Zambian Recipes Collection (K200)
  • Healthy Meal Plans (K350/month subscription)
  • Cooking Video Tutorials (K150 each)

The Result

Today, Chanda earns more from her digital cooking business than her previous office job. She has:

Chanda's Advice to New Creators

"Start small with what you know. My first eBook was just 5 recipes I'd made a hundred times. Marketly makes it so easy - just upload and share. The Zambian market is hungry for quality digital content."
