Editorial policy
Short answer
GigBuyerGuide's editorial policy is short. The publisher decides what is covered and how, without input from Fiverr or from sellers. Affiliate commissions fund the site but never touch a shortlist, a ranking or a sentence. Sellers cannot buy a place on a page. Every claim about a gig is a checked fact from the public listing or a clearly labelled buyer's analysis, and errors are fixed openly.
Key takeaways
- Editorial decisions are made by the publisher alone. Fiverr and sellers have no input into what is published or how it is worded.
- Affiliate income never influences which gigs are shortlisted, how they are ordered or how a service is rated.
- Sellers cannot pay to be listed, and the site accepts no free work, gifts or sponsored placements from sellers.
- Errors are corrected on the page with an updated date; material corrections are noted at the bottom of the page.
- Nothing on the site claims that work was ordered or tested.
Independence
GigBuyerGuide is owned and operated by NetPartners Marketing. It is not owned or operated by Fiverr. Fiverr does not review, approve or see pages before publication. The affiliate relationship gives the site tracking links and creative assets; it gives Fiverr no say in editorial content.
Separation of income and editorial
The site earns commissions when readers buy through its links. To keep that from shaping the content:
- Shortlists are built by fixed rules (rating floor, review count, live status) described in the methodology. A gig cannot be added or promoted because it pays more, and Fiverr Pro gigs, which carry a higher commission, are held to the same rules as marketplace gigs.
- Recommendations to use Fiverr Pro, or to use Fiverr at all, are written from the buyer’s position. Where an agency, another marketplace or an in-house hire is the better answer, the guide says so.
- Affiliate links are labelled “Paid link” and banners are labelled “Advertisement” so a reader can always tell a link that earns from a link that does not.
Sellers cannot pay for placement
No seller has paid, or can pay, to appear on this site. The site does not accept free or discounted work, gifts, referral fees or reciprocal promotion from sellers, and it does not run sponsored posts. Sellers who email asking to be listed receive a link to this page.
Claims and evidence
Every gig fact is read from Fiverr’s public listing and carries a checked date. Everything else is a buyer’s analysis and is written so a reader can tell the difference. The site never says that it ordered, tested or bought a gig, because it has not. Ratings and review counts are reported as Fiverr shows them and are never presented as the site’s own verdict.
Corrections
If a checked fact is wrong, it is corrected at the next check and the stamp is updated. If the error changed the meaning of a page (a wrong price tier, a wrong seller level, a fee figure), a short correction note is added at the bottom of the page with the date. Reports go to hello@gigbuyerguide.com and are answered within five business days.
Use of AI tools
Drafting and research tools, including AI assistants, are used to organise notes, check word counts and structure pages. Every fact is verified against the listing by a person before publication, and every recommendation is the publisher’s own. No page is published without human review.
Advertising
The site runs Fiverr’s affiliate banners and gig widgets and nothing else. It does not run programmatic display advertising, does not sell email addresses and does not promote unrelated software or services. Each ad unit is labelled.
Content that will not appear
Promo codes, coupons and discount content. Seller-side “make money on Fiverr” advice outside the small /for-affiliates/ section for publishers. Reviews of individual sellers by name beyond the checked facts in a shortlist. Anything the publisher would not stand behind in an email to a client.
