Note on earnings: The specific earning figures and commission rates in earlier versions of this post have been removed because they could not be verified. No daily income, total earnings, hourly rate, or commission rate is promised or guaranteed here. Results vary widely, and many affiliates earn little or nothing.
Introduction
This post describes a strategy the creator tested for earning through the Fiverr affiliate program: promoting Fiverr gigs, especially Pro services, to potential customers found on YouTube. The figures shown in the original video are unverified examples, not typical results, and availability and program terms vary by country and over time.
Step 1: Open the Text Guide
To follow along with the original video, open the text guide described as being in the video description, which is said to contain the links and resources needed for this method.
Step 2: Register on Fiverr
Open the Fiverr.com website and join. All you need is either a Google account, your email, an Apple account, or a Facebook account; any of these will suffice. You can open a free account on Fiverr. Once you have, simply log in. If you already have an account, just log into your account.
Step 3: Access the Fiverr Affiliate Program
Now that you have registered for Fiverr, you can browse through their gigs. Then open the affiliate sign-up link described in the text guide to become a Fiverr affiliate.
Fiverr’s Commission Plans
Fiverr has different commission plans for affiliates, including plans for marketplace gigs, Pro services, and cost-per-action referrals. Commission rates, qualifying orders, and terms vary and change over time, so check Fiverr’s current affiliate terms rather than relying on older examples.
Step 4: Create a Social Media Profile
To go to the next step, you will need either a YouTube account, an Instagram account, or some type of social media account that you can get the link from. You do not have to have any followers; you just need to have a link to your social media page so they can verify where you are going to be getting traffic from.
Step 5: Register as a Fiverr Affiliate
Once you have the link to your social media page, go back to Fiverr, scroll up to the top of the page, and click on Join Now. This will take you to a form where you can register to become a Fiverr affiliate.
Step 6: Set Up Your Affiliate Profile
In the registration form, type in your first and last name, your email address, your username, and password, and confirm your password. Set your account type to private unless you are a company. If you do not have Skype, you can leave that blank. Once registered, you can simply log in, and you should see the affiliate dashboard.
Step 7: Focus on Fiverr Pro Services
The reason the creator focuses on Pro Services in this video is that they have been promoting them for a long time. Pro Services are described as offering higher commissions, but commission rates vary and change, so check the current terms.
Step 8: Using Porkbun for a Professional Domain
While promoting these products, if you want to establish credibility and make your affiliate links stand out, the original video mentions Porkbun for a professional domain, described as the sponsor of the video.
Step 9: Finding the Right Gigs to Promote
Now go back to Fiverr Pro and look for gigs to promote. Focus on services with commissions that suit your goals, like video editing.
Step 10: Promoting Video Editing Services
What the creator likes to promote the most is video editing because it is a high-demand service, and many people are looking for it. You do not have to promote video editing; you can promote other services like logo creation, copywriting, etc.
Step 11: Creating Your Affiliate Link
To promote a service, you need to copy the link to the Fiverr gig. Then, go to your affiliate dashboard, click on Marketing Tools, and select Default and Deep Links to create your affiliate link.
Step 12: Shortening Your Affiliate Link
Once you have your affiliate link, it is a good idea to shorten it using a service like Bitly to make it more user-friendly and recognizable.
Step 13: Finding Potential Customers
To find potential customers, go to ChannelCrawler.com and search for smaller YouTube channels. These creators may be more likely to accept your affiliate offers, though most outreach is declined.
Step 14: Sending Cold Emails
Once you find a potential customer’s email address, send them a cold email offering your services and include your affiliate link. Cold emails should follow spam rules and the platform’s terms, and most recipients will not reply or buy.
Step 15: Earning Commissions
If the creator purchases services through your affiliate link, you earn a commission under Fiverr’s current affiliate terms. Commission rates, qualifying orders, and how long commissions apply vary and change over time, so check the current terms.
Conclusion: Passive Income Opportunities
By focusing on Fiverr Pro gigs, some affiliates build ongoing income, but affiliate income is not passive and requires ongoing outreach, and higher-ticket gigs do not guarantee substantial earnings. Most affiliates earn little or nothing.
Bonus: Coupling with Other Side Hustles
The creator likes to couple this method with other side hustles, described in another video. Combining methods does not guarantee income from any of them.
