Hello,

I started my Internet Marketing journey last year (~ August/September 2019) to sell affiliate products through Instagram niche accounts. So I created some accounts for the following niches:
  • Biz opportunity (make money online)
  • Mental health (meditation, biohacking)
  • Healthy foods
And what I started doing was to curate content and post them to these accounts (I was using Jarvee)

But that time Instagram was very hard, blocking accounts with little actions, so I spent maybe 3 months in this endeavor and then I switched to focusing in one other niche that I had discovered at the time - digital embroidery - it was a course teaching how they could make their own embroidery designs and stop paying for someone else to design it.
So I did an instagram account for that product, started putting content in it, along with a facebook page, and I would go in facebook groups for this niche offering free embroidery designs so I could start getting a bit of trust of people in this market.
I even used a wordpress plugin to deliver the files in exchange for their emails to slowly start to build a list of customers within this niche.
With a month of work, I had my first sale of this product (and my first sale as an affiliate).
However, all my sales were manually closed. I would talk with them in Facebook chat and offered this course - explaining how they would benefit from learning to make their own embroidery designs.
I started selling around 1 course per week, but all my time spent like this:
  • gather free embroidery designs so I could give them away
  • Post content on Instagram and Facebook page and on the Facebook groups
  • DM the leads that interacted with my posts through Instagram and/or Facebook chat offering the course
  • A small percentage would buy it
This product commission was meager (50 BRL), so I gave up after some months doing it.

Recently I took some economies I had and bought GrooveFunnels lifetime license - and now I've created some gigs on Fiverr to sell some services:
  • landing pages (done with GrooveFunnels)
  • Lead magnets
  • Instagram posts
  • Articles (SEO content)
Last month my income from Fiverr gigs was 245 BRL (still less than a minimum wage, but it's a start)

What I want to start doing is to begin promoting GrooveFunnels as an affiliate now, but still don't know how to start (what market to target).
My next step is to develop a customer avatar for that product. I know that it's competitors are ClickFUnnels, BuilderAll, InfusionSoft, etc.

Well, that's it for now. Any feedback on this journey will be appreciated.
Thank you!

Are you still doing affiliate marketing with Instagram using jarvee? I was thinking about this and wanted to know if jarvee is still possible to use?

currently not. I was doing it last year (from October to December 2019) but at that time Instagram was very hard blocking actions so I switched gears.
Now I'm just using Instagram to generate traffic to my own profile, where I have a linktree that points to my fiverr gigs. I'm using NinjaGram for automating follows and likes
My target accounts on instagram are people who follows clickfunnels and have 1000 followers or less (someone who is trying to begin to make money online)
I know I need to further develop my target audience - create a proper customer avatar. That's my goal for the next few days
 
The gigs I'm currently offering on Fiverr are:
  • Create a Beautiful Lead Magnet for Your Opt In Page
  • Make You a Content Plan
  • Plan, Build and Launch Your Lead Generation Campaign
  • Create a Landing Page for Your Affiliate Product
  • Write an Article about Spirituality
  • Design 3 Relevant Instagram Posts
  • Write a Relevant Article that will Improve your Website SEO
I’m checking the statistics to see which gigs I will keep active and which I will remove to add a substitute
 
Today I delivered my first order for this gig:
  • Plan, Build and Launch Your Lead Generation Campaign
And before that, the same person had ordered the gig I have for lead magnet creation. So this week, I've delivered two gigs - 1 for creating the lead magnet and another one for making the Optin Page + Thank you page to give the lead magnet while collecting the customer's name and email into an audience inside MailChimp.
I've used GroovePages to create the two pages of this simple funnel - the process was not easy, I'm still learning to use the tool, and as it's still in beta, I had to deal with several bugs and my lack of experience building web pages. Fortunately, it's a working funnel now, and I am eager to improve each day.

PS.: am I allowed to share the URL of this work I did?
 
seems that the "I will make you a content plan" gig is not performing. I don't know if this is due to the lack of demand of this kind of service on Fiverr or if I did something wrong while setting it up.
So I think I will delete this one and replace it with another gig... I'm not sure what to replace it with yet, going to decide it this afternoon...

I still didn't make the customer avatar for selling articles because I think Fiverr will provide me the prospects needed.
So in the past days I'm working on replacing bad performing fiver gigs. I have deleted the design instagram posts and replaced it by English Portuguese translation gig. I will next create a sales copy gig, offering landing page copy (develop the sales message).
Then I will create a gig for Portuguese voiceovers.
My article writing gig is performing relatively well (getting at least one order per week)
