It wasn’t always easy, and I’ve dealt with incredible personal loss this year as well as illness, but I struggled through. My service and offerings have evolved and changed, I’ve learned how to set hard limits and boundaries, and have finally gotten to a place within myself where I trust my gut and I’m not afraid to say no when I need to. I’m getting ready to raise my rates for the third time since joining the platform, and it feels really good!

Some highlights have included:

  • Getting my work published in the Daily Mail.
  • Helping several minority-owned SMBs get on their feet and off to a great start.
  • Writing a one-page treatment that ended up earning 6 figures for my dropship client in 3 months.

Some lowlights have included:

  • Dropping to a 1 from a 2 (but getting right back up the next month!)
  • Dealing with a disgruntled buyer stalking my personal blog and harassing me.
  • Having to constantly defend my expertise and pricing, and answer questions I answer in my gig.
  • Getting “strung along” by clients that balk and bounce at my quote 20 minutes into a conversation, even when I clearly quote my base price at the start of every conversation.

If you’re aiming for 20k and that coveted shot at TRS too - keep striving! I’m getting there, and competition aside, the more the merrier. Keep your eye on the prize 🙂

Congratulations on your success.

Hey hey! Big hello to your wife from me - I’m a Yankee transplant (originally a Jersey girl), but I’m learning how to be a southern belle. Sorta. 😉

@thatwordchick Congratulations!

I hitted 13k this year, which is okay. Got a lot of other projects outside fiverr. So overall - it was a nice year.
