How can I apply for PRO program?

[mathewdjuk]

I want to join Fiverr PRO team, how can I do that?

When you Google "how to join Fiverr Pro", this shows up https://help-pro.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/17029281011217-How-to-Become-a-Fiverr-Pro-freelancer and you have an application link there. Funnily enough, you're the second person asking the same question today. I would hold off until you get more reviews and stuff, your account is very new. But that's my opinion, feel free to try and apply right now.

PRO is a more expensive price range.
Your current gigs are well below the minimum price of $100.

Thank you on that reply. I just sow several PRO sellers that have 0 - 1 - 2 sales, and they made accounts 5-6 days ago...

Thank you, so I need to correct that one, this is most aprichiated.

If you are very qualified within your niche and have the background to prove it, sure. But remember, the chances of becoming a Pro are very low. Those people were most likely invited by Fiverr to join the platform..

Well, I have background that can be reviewed, but I will wait first 60 days to pass..

Good luck. But as I said, don't rely on becoming a Pro seller, most people don't 🙂 Try to build up your profile and generate more sales. Also, increasing prices right now won't really make a difference, because Fiverr can see what price your previous sale/s had...

Maybe this was me? can you assume that if I apply so how many % have a chance to get it?

They say 1%, but I think it is less than 1%. It is very difficult to get the PRO badge.

So sad news. But they have published any requirements for that?

No, I don't think so.

Not all categories are available for PRO. I just noticed that Technical Writing is not mentioned anymore. I assume that they have reached their limit of PRO sellers in the Technical Writing category.

Looks like I missed it, then - I'm not a Pro seller, just a TRS.

Yes, indeed, my mistake. I thought you received the PRO badge not so long ago. 

[strategist_ceo]

Attaining the Fiverr Pro status is challenging, albeit slightly less so than achieving the Top Rated Seller (TRS) status, since it is predominantly based on merits. TRS is much harder to get.

Though I had applied multiple times for the Pro badge, my efforts had been unsuccessful despite using identical credentials. However, during my recent application, I submitted compelling evidence of my expertise, as seen through the successful outcomes of my projects for Fiverr's clients.

When starting out, new Pro Sellers may find themselves at a slight disadvantage until they get their first few sales. In my opinion, their average selling price could be somewhat low, making it difficult for them to compete against longstanding sellers who have higher selling prices and established profiles.

While it's perceived that Pro Sellers possess superior skills and expertise, presenting them with more growth opportunities, I think that a newcomer to the Pro Seller status, especially one with few reviews, might still have difficulty growing initially due to their scarcity of reviews. I will recommend a conversion instead.

Creating an established presence before applying is definitely important. Most people that have no reviews or few reviews and already have the Pro badge got it because they were invited to the platform by Fiverr. Few people actually get the Pro status without a single review here or a few reviews..

What amount of reviews is in the scarce zone, do you think?

[strategist_ceo]

My transition to Pro Seller from Level Two did not result in an increase in my earnings, and I didn't up my fee either (still haven't).

I initially felt quite perplexed when my success manager advised me not to upgrade. But in hindsight, I think she may have been correct. After the upgrade, I noticed a decrease in order volume. Had I not strategically expanded my services, I believe my revenue might have dipped as a Pro Seller compared to when I was at Level Two.

In my opinion, if you are a Level Two seller who regularly receives inquiries and secures new orders every couple of days, you likely have what it takes to transition to a Pro Seller (if you got the credentials / merits). At the time, my "Pro gig" had about 17 or 18 reviews and, despite being substantially under-reviewed (I estimate that only 20-30% of my clients leave a review), it was doing well with at least 1 new order every 5 days.

It depends. The OP just has one order so.. 

But it also comes down to the price. Some people want to be Pro sellers but they charge $5 or $10.. obviously that won't work.

My success manager suggested that my "Average Selling Price," which was around $180 at the time, was too low for a Pro Seller.

I believe everything will fall into place as long as one understands how momentum works.

They still get that snazzy blue checkmark next to their name, though, yea?

Not if they charge $5 or $10. I think you need to charge at least $40 or $50 to be considered for Pro. I am not one that cares about checkmarks or badges though.

It might depend on your niche. I don't think $180 is too low for anything. Then what about $5 or $10 sellers that want to be a Pro... :)) like the OP?
