Hi.

I don't know what you are thinking when you asked that question to yourself. But this kind of question, imo, is one of the questions that should not have been asked when selling services. You sell something that's matched your actual skills instead of finding what is the trend in freelancing. I am talking about selling services here; and I didn't say that you cannot learn new skills. But your decision depends on what you know and what you have at the present time.

To be fair, if someone is going to start freelancing and wants to learn a skill, they should choose something they are passionate about. In my view, there is no need to follow yearly trends. Pick a skill that you can develop and refine over time, upgrading your abilities by staying aware of current and future requirements. Avoid taking shortcuts by switching skills every six months or a year.

Many bloggers and YouTubers spread such information, but this approach doesn't work in the long term. You need to stick with a skill that you can continuously improve.

For what's in demand, you could check Fiver's Q1 shareholder letter which says:

Driving Growth in Complex Services
We continue to see a category mix shift towards complex services
where human skills are essential in unlocking the potential of AI.
Complex services continue to grow significantly at a healthy
double digit rate and they now represent over one third of our
marketplace. Overall we believe AI continues to be a net positive
impact for us and will drive a multi-year tailwind for our business.

We continue to see growth in our rapidly evolving AI services,
including new services such as AI Avatar Design and Custom GPT
Applications, and currently have over 10,000 AI experts on our
marketplace. We have seen positive trends in some existing
services as well such as chatbot development which grew
substantially in Q1 as businesses sought help from freelancers to
deploy latest AI technology into their business. For example, a
Tokyo-based hospitality company used Fiverr to develop a
chatbot that enabled their customers to manage bookings on their
property management system. For a little over $5,000 the
freelancer team was able to design both a web and mobile app
with the chatbot integration over the course of several weeks.
The speed and cost efficiency in fulfilling projects like this on
Fiverr is unmatched, especially when companies look to deploy
the latest technology trend with talent shortage.

Though AI services could also be a copyright risk depending on the data they use/were trained on.
