Turn your audience into income
You already have people who trust you. Sikhaku is the shortest path from that trust to a course they can buy, download, and actually finish.
- Free to publish
- Keep 100%
- Paid on a schedule

Most creators who quit selling courses did not run out of audience. They ran out of patience for screenshots, Drive links and refund arguments.
The work we take off your desk
Everything between recording and getting paid
Each of these is a reason a course never launches. None of them is the reason you started teaching.
0 manual checks
Payments, invoices and tax
Wallets, bank transfer and cards, reconciled automatically, with a compliant invoice issued on every single sale. No screenshots to check at midnight.
Video infrastructure
Transcoding, adaptive streaming and a CDN with points of presence in South Asia.
Piracy protection
DRM plus a per-student watermark, included from your very first course.
Refunds and support
We answer billing and access questions so they never land in your DMs, and we handle the refund itself.
Payouts and statements
A regular payout run, documented well enough to hand to an accountant.
Analytics that matter
Per-lesson drop-off, completion, coupon performance and refund reasons.

What reaches you on a $49 sale
No percentage games, no deductions at all
There is no commission, no gateway surcharge, no hosting bill and no per-student cost. The price you set is the amount that lands in your payout, and we never take a cut of tax either.

Sikhaku takes no commission and no monthly fee. Any tax due depends on your own registration and is shown at checkout and on every invoice. Store commission does not apply either, because students buy on the web.
What you actually work with
Three parts of the creator side, in the order you meet them.
Upload once, and stop thinking about it
Recording is the hard part. Everything after it is automatic, and you can watch it progress.
- Upload straight from the browser — nothing large touches a server you manage
- Every lesson encoded for 3G through fibre, so weak connections still play
- Sections, lessons, PDFs and free previews, rearranged by dragging
You keep the relationship with your students
Joining a marketplace should not mean handing over the people who follow you. This is how we make sure it does not.
- 01
Your storefront looks like you
Your banner, bio, credentials and accent colour. Students who arrive from your bio link land somewhere that feels like your brand, because it is.
- 02
No competing courses, ever
We never show another creator on your storefront or your course pages. Cross-promotion lives only on Sikhaku’s own discover surfaces. Check it yourself.
- 03
Followers you can actually reach
Students follow you and get a push notification when you publish. You lose the email list and gain a channel that does not depend on an algorithm.
- 04
Your buyers, visible to you
Every student who buys from you appears in your dashboard with what they bought and how far through it they are.
What the founding cohort gets
Sikhaku is pre-launch. These are commitments for year one, not results we are claiming.
What changes when you move from DMs to Sikhaku
This is what selling a course still looks like for most creators.
| Selling it yourself | On Sikhaku | |
|---|---|---|
| Taking payment | A QR code and a screenshot you check by hand | Wallet, bank or card, reconciled automatically |
| Delivering video | A Drive link that gets forwarded | DRM streaming with per-student watermarks |
| Invoices and tax | Your problem | Issued for you on every sale |
| Knowing what works | Guesswork | Per-lesson drop-off and revenue analytics |
| Handling refunds | An argument in your DMs | A policy, a button, and a ledger entry |
| Reaching past buyers | Hope they see your story | Push notification to your followers |
| Your next launch | Start from zero | An audience already on the platform |
Things we will not do
Worth stating plainly, because most of these have happened to creators on other platforms.
You own your content
You license it to us to sell. Take it back whenever you like.
No exclusivity
Keep selling on your own site too. We are not asking for a monopoly.
No fees at all
No commission, no payment surcharge, no hosting bill, no hidden line.
Free means free
If that ever has to change we will say so well in advance, and never for sales already made.
What creators ask before they commit
What does it cost to publish a course?
When and how do I get paid?
Do I have to leave my existing website?
Will you promote other creators to my students?
What stops people pirating my course?
How long does it take to launch?
What kind of courses are you accepting?
Not ready to apply yet?
One email a month on what is actually working for creators selling courses. No pitch.
Unsubscribe in one click. We never share your email.
The founding cohort is small on purpose
We onboard creators by hand so the first courses on Sikhaku are genuinely good. If you teach something worth paying for, tell us.
