Serlzo, the Nestuge Alternative

Selling a digital product is the easy part. The hard part is everything around the sale: getting people's attention, following up with them, bringing them back, and providing value they'll keep paying for.

Nestuge is built to sell and deliver digital products. Serlzo is built to run the whole business: your community, your WhatsApp marketing, your follow-up and your sales, with an AI agent that sets it all up for you.

So the question isn't "Which platform can sell my ebook?" Both can. The question is "Which one helps me grow once people start buying?"

Sio: tell it what you need and it builds it

Most new platforms come with a learning curve. You watch tutorials, click through menus and work out how the pieces connect before you sell anything.

Sio removes that step. It's an AI agent built into Serlzo that works for you. You tell it what you want in plain words, and it does the setup:

• It builds for you. Say "launch a funnel for my 4-week design cohort" and Sio creates the pages, forms, emails and workflows. You don't have to drag anything into place or design anything.
• It sets up your automation. Describe the follow-up you want, such as "message everyone who booked a call", and Sio builds the workflow that sends it.
• You don't need to learn the menus. You ask Sio instead of searching for where a setting lives or how the pieces connect.

On most platforms, you spend your first week learning the software. With Sio, you can spend it selling.

Communities: a Skool-style community built in

Serlzo has communities built in, so you don't need Skool, a Telegram group or a WhatsApp group chat that you have to police yourself.

• Free or paid. Run a free community to grow your audience, a paid one to earn from it, or both.
• Recurring income. Members pay to join and their access renews automatically. Renewals go to your Serlzo wallet, and you can withdraw to your bank at any time. Payouts settle within 24 hours.
• A real community space. Members get a feed where they post, reply and engage with you and each other, instead of a group chat that buries every message.
• Connected to everything else. Every member is saved as a contact in your CRM. From there you can welcome them with a workflow, message them on WhatsApp or sell them your next course.
• Found by new members. Serlzo's Discover directory lists free and paid communities, so people who are searching for one can find yours.

Coaches, traders, fitness leaders, barbers teaching their craft and artists with devoted fans already use Serlzo communities. If people follow what you do, you can charge for access to it.

Nestuge can add buyers to private WhatsApp or Telegram groups, and it offers a community feature on its top plan. On Serlzo, the community is part of the product, and it's connected to your CRM and marketing.

WhatsApp automation: broadcast to your whole contact list

WhatsApp is where your customers already are, and Serlzo lets you market to them there at scale.

• Broadcasts. Send one message to your whole contact list, or filter it down to a segment such as buyers of a certain product or people who signed up last week. Schedule it and send yourself a test before it goes out. Here's how to set one up.
• Your own number. Connect your WhatsApp Business number through Meta's official API. Customers see your name, not Serlzo's.
• An AI chatbot. The WhatsApp AI chatbot learns from your products, pages and documents. It answers questions, sends checkout links when a buyer is ready, shares your community link and hands the chat to you when it needs a human.
• One inbox. Every conversation sits on the contact's timeline, and you can take over whenever you want.

Nestuge uses WhatsApp mainly to control who can join a group. Serlzo turns WhatsApp into a sales channel.

Workflow automation: follow-up that runs itself

Serlzo's workflows take care of what happens after someone signs up, pays, books or joins your list.

• Start from any action. Trigger a workflow from a form submission, a purchase, a booking or a new community member.
• Message on every channel. Send WhatsApp, email and SMS messages, personalised with each contact's name, product or signup source.
• Branch on behaviour. Your audience won't all act the same way, so set conditions that decide what each person gets next.
• Keep your CRM up to date. Tag contacts, update fields and move people through your pipeline automatically.
• Start from a template. Use ready-made welcome sequences, post-purchase delivery flows and renewal reminders.
• See what's happening. Watch who entered each workflow and whether each step is waiting, completed, failed or skipped. You can pause a workflow to edit it or send someone through a step again.

You set it up once, and every new lead and buyer gets the right message at the right time without you sending it.

Everything you get with Serlzo

Serlzo replaces the stack of separate tools most creators end up paying for. Here's everything it includes.

Sell your products

• A storefront for every kind of digital product. Sell online courses, digital downloads, packaged services and paid 1:1 calls from one storefront. Serlzo delivers each product automatically after payment.
• A checkout page and link for every product. Each product gets its own branded checkout page and a shareable link, so you can sell from your bio, DMs, email or WhatsApp without a website.
• Local and international payments. Use Serlzo checkout, or connect your own Paystack, Flutterwave or Stripe account.
• A wallet you control. Your sales collect in your Serlzo wallet, and you can withdraw to your bank at any time. Payouts settle within 24 hours.
• Course hosting. Host your lessons on Serlzo with course hosting, and buyers get access the moment they pay.
• Abandoned checkout recovery. When someone opens your checkout and leaves without paying, Sio follows up to bring them back.

Build and host your pages

• An AI page builder. Build sales pages, landing pages and funnels with the page builder, starting from a prompt, a template or a blank canvas. Use your own colours, fonts, images and sections.
• Page hosting included. Your pages are hosted on Serlzo, so you don't need a separate website or hosting plan.
• Your own domain. Connect a custom domain for your storefront, pages, courses and communities, and use it to send email.
• Forms. Collect leads, applications and survey responses with forms, and embed them on any page or website.
• Link in bio. One page that brings together your store, courses, community, forms and socials.
• Analytics. Track views, clicks, signups, sales and conversions from one overview.

Run your community

• Free and paid communities. Run a community with recurring billing, a member feed and a listing on Discover, where new members can find you.

Market and follow up

• WhatsApp marketing. Use your own WhatsApp Business number to send broadcasts to your whole list or a segment, schedule messages to your WhatsApp groups, and answer customers from a shared inbox.
• A WhatsApp AI chatbot. The chatbot answers questions, sends checkout links and hands the chat to you when it needs a human.
• Email marketing. Send email campaigns and multi-step sequences.
• SMS marketing. Reach contacts by SMS for launches, reminders and offers.
• Workflow automation. Build workflows that follow up on WhatsApp, email and SMS whenever someone signs up, buys, books or joins.
• A CRM. Every buyer, member and lead is saved as a contact in your CRM, included on every paid plan.

Track your ads and connect your tools

• Meta Pixel integration. Connect your Meta Pixel and Serlzo sends conversion events, such as leads and registrations, from your pages and forms. Your Facebook and Instagram ads can then track who converts.
• Integrations. Connect the tools you already use, including Whatsapp Cloud API, Claude, Open AI, Meta Pixel, Google Tag Manager and Telegram.

Grow with AI and your team

• Sio, your AI agent. Describe what you want and Sio builds the pages, forms, emails and workflows.

• Teams and agencies. Work with up to 50 teammates across 3 workspaces, for agencies and teams.
