Both, also it depend on how they asked you to do it. But I think I have around 30 to 40 % success of orders placed after a free sample both if they asked me first to do it or if they are willing to put the order and I said to wait until I can do a free sample. This is for new clients of course

My story is quite different, I encourage buyers to give them a free sample draft anytime I can, that way I make sure to be always on the same page, sometimes I can't because I lack the time and I just jump on the order, but for me, it works better when a draft is already approved. I did it when I started 6 years ago and I still do. But I guess it depends on your workflow

Maybe the plan is to wipe off the level system without dismantling it and boost some sellers with good overall metrics within their niche but without badges, just Pro and the rest. But one thing is for sure, it is practically impossible to keep badges with the current system, and I think they will not change that.

First review of the new normal. What do we know about the 4.2 threshold to maintain level? They will lower that? Or should I prepare myself to have no badge in 3 months? 😂

This particular point looks like something you should receive by default. Like a report with things that you're doing the right way, aspects to improve, opportunities, and potential clients to get in touch, etc. There is many ways to help us do better.

This would actually be very nice, they tried to do it with Studios a couple of years back, but a more straightforward tool that looks more like a cooperation or temporal partnership will be indeed pretty good and will allow everyone win-win, both freelancers and Fiverr. Sometimes one freelancer can be a reference and already gain the trust of the clients, but there is just not enough time to do it all alone.

My wish is that Fiverr and all freelancers have a great year. I hope Fiverr remains a people-centric platform, embracing the AI wave not to replace us, but to enhance our capabilities. It is important that you continue to trust our work, allowing both established members and newcomers to continue working as usual. Fiverr has been a life-changing platform for me, enabling me to earn a decent living in Venezuela, a challenging feat. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity and eagerly anticipate continuing my journey on Fiverr next year and for many years to come. All the success that Fiverr achieves will be ours too!
