Wahoo! Congratulations @filipdevaere! I really hope the newbies read and learn the 11 points that you posted! 

This just shows how important it is to be a quality seller here on this platform. Quality trumps a perfect-looking gig. You also didn't seek Fiverr Pro ... Fiverr came chasing after you begging you to apply to Fiverr Pro. And you don't need any special boost or features to excel at what you are doing! 😊

I'm super happy for you @filipdevaere! Getting Top Rated Seller status isn't easy, but you did it! 🥳🎉

Indeed, the Pro Badge was unexpected. I was lucky that Fiverr asked me to apply.

The Pro Badge is really boosting my sales. My Pro Verified gigs are always high in the search results.

[newsmike]

@filipdevaere Wow, that's huge. Congrats. PRO/TRS.. Welcome to the Top 1%. 

[vickiespencer]

Conga Rats @filipdevaere ! You deserve your new badges. 

 

 

[hey_webdesign]

@filipdevaere Wow...Congratulations 🥰 And I am confused right now. However, Keep it up!

Why are you confused?

[nancygichuru]

Wow.  Congrats!  Really happy for you.  There must be a good a reason why Fiverr came knocking requesting you to apply.  Quality work pays.

How's this possible? Then how did you rank Gig? If you don't mind please share some experience

For me, this is proof that a good performance (selling enough and keeping your buyers happy) is the main key for ending up high in the search results. It is all based on your performance on Fiverr compared to the rest of the sellers in your sub-category.

Oh, I'll keep it in my mind🥰Thank you so much!

[markp]

congratulations @filipdevaere you deserve it.  I went in the opposite direction

[charu_hannan]

Congratulations! But How's this possible?

[mabelma]

When you were accepted for Fiverr Pro, did you join, or did you just keep working till you became a Top Rated Seller?

Actually no worries at all. I thought the seller plus and Fiverr pro where the same thing, so I thought you were paying for Fiverr Pro, but after reading this post and doing some research I launched my own application. Thanks so much for making this post and giving us some knowledge we might have not otherwise known.

Indeed.
A small percentage of these sellers stop after a while with giving this wrong advice. Unfortunately, not all of them give up.

[hey_webdesign]

@filipdevaere Lots of sellers and my friends told me "Don't change the gig title after publishing the gig "  If we change the title again, will it harm our gig ranking? Is that a myth? What's your idea?

[filipdevaere]

@hey_webdesign You will loose your ranking for a short time.
