Due to the recent containment situation, it is clear that purely digital product companies like Fiverr, Zoom, and all sorts of companies in the digital realm are showing exactly the opposite dynamic to any company in the “real” world.

The travel industry is disappearing. Most major retailers follow the same path. Amazon Associates takes unhealthy precautions by lowering the commission of its affiliate program .

Yet digital goods companies are thriving, and some of them are even improving their partnership programs. One of them is the company I like and use myself: Fiverr.com.

It turns out that they have an affiliate program called Fiverr Affiliates. And it promises to be a great alternative to Amazon Associates for digital goods.

To test my idea, I am doing a case study. I’m going to show you how to successfully market digital products and earn sales commissions.

Whether you are looking to add another source of income to your online business, are just starting out in affiliate marketing, or want to make some extra money by recommending people with quality digital services, then this study of case is for you.

• Buy Fiverr services (i.e. hire Fiverr freelancers) in a certain number of categories
• Create content that recommends the best freelancers on Fiverr based on my experience
• To drive traffic to my content with the intention of making affiliate sales.

And if you are a travel affiliate struggling to find an alternative to your income due to the current global crisis, Fiverr could be a great replacement with their Global Travel benefits.

 

So buckle up and read on to see what Fiverr can do for you.

I chose the Fiverr affiliate program for the case study.

If you’ve never heard of Fiverr, it’s a digital goods market where you can hire freelancers to help you with graphic design, writing, video editing and nearly 200 other types of services.

You can watch a detailed video made by a real Fiverr affiliate below. He explains how he makes money with Fiverr Affiliates, shows screenshots of his earnings, and gives tips on how to create quality content and drive traffic for sales:

The company was established in 2010 and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. It is one of the largest freelance markets.

Since this is an established business, you can expect it to invest in the long-term affiliate program, which could be an important source of income for you and me.

I only recently discovered that Fiverr has an affiliate program after looking for alternatives to Amazon Associates.

I chose Fiverr because:

• they have a generous commission structure (see below)
• sales of digital products increase regularly from year to year (even more now with the COVID-19 crisis)
• they have both services (design, technical support, video editors, etc.) and products (courses and software)
• they target the low end of the market with services worth as little as a few dollars up to the high end of the market with services worth several hundred dollars.

The last point is important because when you send traffic to Fiverr, they can adapt to the different budgets of buyers, which means that they are more likely to convert the visitor and you get a commission on the sale.

Surprisingly, setting up a Fiverr affiliate account is one of the easiest things to do – compared to other popular affiliate programs out there. To get started, do the following:

• Go to www.affiliates.fiverr.com
• Click the ‘join now’ button
• Follow the on-screen prompts to create the account
• Voila! You’ve got an account up and running!

Commissions are based on the product and service you choose to promote.

There are two types of commissions:

• Fiverr CPA

• Fiverr Hybrid

Fiverr CPA is a dynamic commission structure, which means that commissions vary according to the category from 15 to 50 $ CPA (cost per acquisition/share). For example, when a new buyer makes a purchase, you can get $ 50 if they buy in the Whiteboard and animated explanations category or $ 25 if they buy in the Voice Over category.

Fiverr Hybrid offers you a fixed CPA of $ 10 per first purchase plus a 10% income share for 12 months. This means that you will continue to receive commissions if the buyer continues to buy services from Fiverr during the first year.

Commissions are available for other Fiverr products. You will earn $ 150 for Fiverr Pro, 30% for Fiverr Learn and 30% for AND CO sales.

The duration of the cookie is 30 days from the first click unless the user subsequently registers through a paid channel.

You receive payment as soon as you reach 100 dollars in commissions. Payments are sent monthly.

The payment methods supported are PayPal, Payoneer and bank transfer.

You can join the Fiverr affiliate program regardless of the volume of your traffic.

Here is a way to register:

If you have a CJ account, search for Fiverr and join the program. Or you can click here to join

I recommend the first option because you can join directly and do not need to go through a network of affiliated intermediaries.

• Excellent commissions
• Some of the best-designed home pages in the industry
• A 30-day period for cookies
• A wide variety of services in high demand and adapted to buyers with varying budgets
• Easy-to-use affiliate dashboard and tracking
• Beautiful creations.

I liked what I have seen so far from Fiverr’s affiliate program. Commissions are good, the dashboard and monitoring are user friendly, and there are many popular products and services to promote.

Fiverr also offers beautifully designed creations that save time.

The plan from there is to start creating content and promoting Fiverr.
