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

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

Since this is an established business, you can expect them to invest in the Affiliate Program for the long term which could be a great source of income for you and me.

Why I chose Fiverr!

I only recently found out that Fiverr has an affiliate program after researching alternatives to Amazon Associates.

I chose Fiverr because:

• they have a generous Commission structure
• digital product sales are steadily increasing year on 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 lower end of the market with services valued as low as a few dollars to the high end of the market with services valued at several hundred dollars.

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

• Commission structure

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

There are two types of commissions: Fiverr CPA and Fiverr Hybrid

- Fiverr CPA

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

- Fiverr Hybrid

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

Payment options

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

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

How to join the Fiverr Affiliate Program

You can join the Fiverr AffiliateProgram regardless of your traffic volume.

The advantages of Fiverr membership

• excellent commissions
• some of the best designed homepages in the industry
• a period of 30 days for cookies
• a wide variety of highly demanded services tailored to buyers with varying budgets
• easy-to-use affiliate dashboard and tracking
• beautiful creations

The disadvantages of Fiverr membership

Commissions only apply to new buyers (if someone has purchased from Fiverr before, you will not get a commission). However, the hybrid structure assures you of income for any future purchases made by the first-hand buyers you have converted.

Fiverr Pro services are capped at $150 per sale, although some of the items offered are high priced items worth thousands of dollars.

Conclusion

I liked what I have seen so far from the Fiverr Affiliate Program. The commissions are good, the dashboard and tracking are user-friendly, and there are a lot of popular products and services to promote.

Fiverr also offers beautifully designed creations that save time.
