Fiverr has started gearing up for its second product release of 2024 (in July) with the announcement of a new hourly rate for gigs for Fiverr Pros. Finally, some good news from Fiverr HQ for freelancers!

2024 has, so far, been a disappointing year for sellers, thanks to unpopular changes to the levels and rating system and Fiverr’s continuing, self-destructive love affair with artificial intelligence. Still, it can’t all be bad news. Today, there was a small chink of hope for the platform’s Pro-Verified sellers.

Is Fiverr… doing something nice for once?

Is Fiverr doing something that people have actually asked for (albeit giving it only to a small segment of the marketplace)? From everything I’ve read about it so far, this seems like a pretty good feature and one that I’m definitely interested in using.
