Hey everyone,
During the past few months I have started promoting Fiverr using their affiliate program, alongside my regular promotions of hosting/website creation affiliate programs.

I have got some nice results so far, and now that they are finally offering Revenue share commissions I think it's a good chance to scale this up.

Currently I am only promoting website development/Wordpress gigs. I am wondering if anyone here had success promoting other Fiverr categories, and with what kind of traffic (organic/paid).

I tried to push fiver gigs on reddit but it seems they completely banned fiverr.com entire domain ...

Yeah, I have seen this thread. It's very impressive, but I am looking more for information like the types of gigs/categories that other current affiliates find doing well. Obviously it depends on your traffic, but hearing some general opinions would be very appreciated.

I have always found that the best gigs pertain to small business owners. Find gigs that can be completed very fast like shoutouts or other mention style marketing. I stay away from all the design stuff as it never seems to convert as well as straight up advertising. Also just my personal opinion but I don't think the rev share is a better option. They are starting that to save money and not pay out where a payout is not due. It is easy to get a flat fee for these people on the first sale. I dont think it will work out in anyone's favor. Just to clarify I am a big proponent of ongoing commissions but in this instance I think you would make more money faster just getting the flat fee. granted if you are promoting gigs that cost hundreds or thousands that is a different story.

The other tip is just promote cheap gigs, you get the same commission regardless. granted some of the higher paying categories normally have more expensive gigs but all I mean is dont try and promote gigs that cost hundreds of dollars as people are not on fiverr for that. it's all the name :)

If you are having success doing what you are already doing then just scale it up but you may also want to try out some of the things I suggest and see if it works better for you.

That's interesting. I have never tried promoting Fiverr on Reddit but I believe most affiliate links don't work and are not allowed in Reddit, so that makes sense.

Thanks for the input!
I tend to agree with you regarding the revenue share in general. The hardest part is that they don't provide information regarding the total purchase numbers in their stats, so I can't know for sure whether it's worth it or not. I currently promote only high-tier services (50$+) and had some subscribers who told me they purchased gigs that cost 500$+, so I think the revenue share can definitely make sense for my business.

Haven't tried promoting marketing-type of gigs. I always found most of them either useless or just spam. I'll do some research and try to see whether there are some hidden gems in this category.

This is really helpful, thank you. How were you/are you driving traffic to the gigs?
