Info Products in Brazil: How the Online Course Market Works

Brazil has one of the most active info product markets in the world (online courses, mentoring, ebooks, communities and content subscriptions). Brazilian platforms such as Hotmart, founded in Belo Horizonte, grew here before expanding to other countries. Selling info products in Brazil requires mastering three things: the sales format (launch or evergreen), installment pricing and the 7-day guarantee provided by the Consumer Defense Code.

The platforms

Platform	What it offers
Hotmart	One of the largest in the world; checkout, members area, affiliate program, international presence
Kiwify	Checkout and members area, popular with newer creators
Eduzz	Checkout, members area and sales tools

These platforms handle payment (Pix, card installments, boleto), content delivery, affiliates and, to a large extent, the tax side of the sale. For a foreigner, this greatly simplifies entry: you do not need your own checkout or a local company to get started. Check each platform's terms for foreign creators.

Sales models

Launch

A method widespread in Brazil: the creator warms up the audience with free content for a few days (classes, live streams, emails), opens the cart for a short period and concentrates sales. It works well for those who already have an audience.

Evergreen

The product is on sale all the time, with paid traffic (Meta, Google, YouTube) leading to a sales page or a recorded webinar. It requires tight control of acquisition costs.

Affiliates and co-production

The affiliate system is very strong in Brazil: other people promote your product and earn a commission per sale. Co-production, a partnership between an expert and a Brazilian producer or influencer, is one of the fastest ways for a foreigner to gain a local audience. See influencer marketing in Brazil.

Price and payment

• Prices ending in 7: R$ 47, R$ 97, R$ 197, R$ 497 and R$ 997 are common reference points.
• Installments: up to 12x on cards is the standard, with the installment amount highlighted.
• Pix with a discount for those who pay upfront.

The 7-day guarantee is not optional

Article 49 of the Consumer Defense Code gives consumers the right to withdraw from purchases made outside a commercial establishment, such as online, within 7 days of the purchase or delivery, with a refund of the amounts paid. In the info product market, this became the "unconditional 7-day guarantee". Many creators offer longer periods (15 or 30 days) as a selling point.

Advertising and claims

The info product market is closely watched by the public, by platforms and by CONAR, Brazil's advertising self-regulation council. Avoid promises of guaranteed income and misleading testimonials. Advertising with influencers must be identified as such.

What a foreigner needs to adapt

1. Content in Brazilian Portuguese, ideally recorded or dubbed naturally, not just subtitled. See Brazilian Portuguese: why translation is not enough.
2. Brazilian examples and cases: students want to see the method working in their reality.
3. Community and support in Portuguese, often on WhatsApp or Telegram. See WhatsApp for business in Brazil.
4. Local partners: co-producers, affiliates and influencers greatly shorten the path.
5. A Brazilian-style sales page: long, with social proof, FAQ, guarantee and visible installments.

Summary

Brazil's info product market is large, competitive and has its own rules: launches, affiliates, prices ending in 7, installments of up to 12x and a 7-day guarantee. Local platforms make the technical entry simple, but success depends on truly adapted content and partnerships with Brazilians. To understand the buyer, read how Brazilian consumers decide to buy.
