onepaperfold Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 Apparently three of my Gigs are now showing a badge ‘Rising Talent’ (Rising talent with a high potential, recommended by Fiverr’s editors).I’ve searched the forum about this new badge, but only found one thread which did not really give much information. Is this the replacement of the old ‘Featured’ Gigs? What does this mean for your profile and Gigs? Does it only place your Gig above other Gigs, or does it do more than that?Anyways, I’m quite happy my Gigs are showing this badge. Gives some new motivation! 😉Have a nice day everyone
adsensewizard Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 I’m curious too. Is that the new “New seller” badge? Someone saw that on a seller with zero reviews. :thinking:

misscrystal Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 I just looked at your gigs in the listings and do not see that. It must be another beta test.

bigbeardvo Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Lucky duck! I’ve noticed these recently and wish I had one, haha.
onepaperfold Posted May 6, 2018 Author Posted May 6, 2018 hi, is that possible to share some screenshot. thanks…You can see it with the keyword Origami. Whenever I use another keyword, let’s say Gift, it is not visible.
onepaperfold Posted May 6, 2018 Author Posted May 6, 2018 Your gigs are really cool.Don’t ask me, I have no idea. @misscrystal
thecreativeguys Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Yep - mostly newer sellers have it and it only shows up when searching certain keywords.
misscrystal Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Don’t ask me, I have no idea. @misscrystalYou saw what I had put first but changed. Anyway I like it, we all like the origami. I don’t want to buy it but I like it a lot.

miiila Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 I just stumbled over this when looking for something else, it´s mentioned in the Seller Help Center now:What does the “Rising Talent” badge on a Gig mean?When your Gig is handpicked by our Editorial Team, it receives a “Rising Talent” badge. This means your Gig will receive meaningful marketplace exposure and credibility.Please keep in mind that the Handpicked status is temporary. The chosen Gigs will be displayed randomly and the badge may be removed by the Editorial Team.
vickiespencer Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 You can not apply, Fiverr picks out exceptional gigs and bestows the badge on them.

Now 3 users are real graphic designers while one is an obvious fraud. He is using images from students’ portfolios they created as their work in graphic design school. A simple Google image search gives you a result. The user is from one continent while a student that created logos published on the university web page is on another continent. And all three of his GIG images are taken from the internet and plus his first and only order is also vector taken from the internet AND 😃 his GIG description consists of two sentences. Yes. You heard me.So the whole: "your Gig is handpicked by our Editorial Teamyea, right…How was he granted a RISING STAR badge?Makes no sense what so ever.

I remember seeing a seller in the translation category who was a “Rising Talent.” There was no way that Fiverr could check if he was any good or not as he did not have any samples or orders. It was also obvious that he was very, very young.His prices were extremely high, though. Something I have also noticed among other “Rising Talents.” My theory (based on very flimsy evidence) is that the system rewards sellers who start out with high prices to give them an edge so Fiverr can earn more money.

Like you close your eyes and put your finger on the screen, maybe the “randomly” isn’t just valid for the “displayed” part but for the selection process as well …I’ve given up even looking at other people’s gigs long ago, unless I want to buy a gig myself, which I only do when I know I don’t have any other plans that evening, because it takes me a lot of time to do some “vetting” of my own.When I stumble over something that’s clearly illegal (like I reported a gig that openly offered hacking, and not for testing purposes of the potential buyer’s own site and with their knowledge), I report it, else, it’s Fiverr’s job to do the vetting and handpicking, though I’d love to see the briefing for that job, maybe young and aspiring is a factor, maybe the initial price, who knows.
