What is the new Fiverr Pro and how does it work?

We all know about Fiverr and how it has emerged as one of the largest Freelance marketplaces. Well, they have recently launched their Premium service called “Fiverr Pro”. Fiverr Pro allows only a number of handpicked freelancers to join their platform. Once you become a member you will get a Pro label on the Fiverr website. This is especially good news for hardworking freelancers who have built their portfolio over the time. This is actually their way of rewarding those hard working experts by distinguishing them from other regular members. In this brief guide we will explain how you can join the ranks of premium freelancers and earn big money.

The biggest benefit of becoming a Fiverr Pro member is you will be able to communicate with professional buyers. You will have the opportunity to work on high paying projects. It’s going to be different from the typical $5 gigs. Professional clients will be able to access your service directly and pay you fees that you deserve. Fiverr Pro gigs are currently available in the following categories only:

• Graphics & Design > Logo Design
• Writing & Translation > Articles & Blog Posts
• Video & Animation > Whiteboard & Explainer Videos
• Digital Marketing > Social Media Marketing

You can apply irrespective of the categories being relevant to you or not. Your familiarity with these categories won’t be the deciding factor in your application process. They will eventually start adding more categories to it. Here’s how the new interface looks with Fiverr Pro gigs:
