[00:15] an affiliate? How do I earn money on Hotmart? How are payments managed? What advantages does Hotmart have? How do I learn to use the platform? So buckle up, because we're about to get started. To begin, the most important thing is that you understand the
[00:29] digital product or infoproduct market. A digital product can be an online course, an ebook, or a membership. But to explain it better, I'm going to give you real-life examples. Let's take the example of a flower shop. What
[00:43] elements are part of it? Well, the physical shop, the seller, the flowers and merchandise, and the buyers. That would be, at a very basic level, what makes up this business. In the case of the digital product market, the structure is
[00:56] similar, only some things are a little different. Let's start with the main thing. What would be the equivalent of flowers in the digital market? It would be the digital product, which can also be called an infoproduct or
[01:10] content, and it consists of a good. A service delivered digitally, that is, service delivered digitally, that is, through the internet, unlike a flower, isn't something physical, you understand? Look, I'll give you some examples: it

[04:21] saved as a balance in your Hotmart wallet. You can easily and securely transfer this balance to the bank account you provided when you registered with Hotmart. Keep in mind that you'll have to wait at
[04:33] least the product's warranty period before you can withdraw those commissions. So far, you've seen that Hotmart is a great opportunity to start your digital business, but wait, there's more you'll
