Introduction: From Freelancer to Recognized Creator
When I first joined Fiverr, I just wanted to earn my first few dollars online. I never imagined that one day Fiverr itself would recognize my work with the Fiverr’s Choice Badge and the Level 2 Seller status.
These two achievements weren’t luck.
They were built on consistency, communication, and the mindset of always delivering value.
In this blog, I’ll share exactly how I reached this stage — what Fiverr looks for, what I did differently, and how you can grow your own freelancing profile the smart way.
What Fiverr’s Choice Badge Actually Means
The Fiverr’s Choice Badge is not something you can apply for. It’s handpicked by Fiverr’s internal team to highlight top-performing sellers who consistently deliver outstanding service, high ratings, and excellent client satisfaction.
In simple words —
👉 It’s Fiverr’s way of saying, “We trust this freelancer.”
It not only boosts your credibility but also increases your visibility in search results and client recommendations.
My Journey to Level 2 Seller
Before earning any badges, I focused on one thing — building a strong reputation through quality work.
Here’s the growth timeline that changed everything:
1️⃣ Starting Out: I began by offering YouTube thumbnail design services. At first, it was all about building trust, not chasing income.
2️⃣ Getting My First Review: That first 5-star review was the seed that grew my profile.
3️⃣ Reaching Level 1: Fiverr promoted me after consistent delivery, on-time completion, and maintaining client satisfaction.
4️⃣ Earning Level 2: Once I completed over 50 orders, earned more than $2,000, and kept my rating above 4.7 for two months — Fiverr automatically upgraded my account to Level 2.
That Level 2 notification felt like validation that I was doing something right.
What Helped Me Get the Fiverr’s Choice Badge
The Choice Badge doesn’t just depend on stats — it depends on experience quality.
Here are the five major factors that helped me earn it:
1. Consistent Quality
Every project, no matter how small, received my full effort. Fiverr tracks delivery success, revisions, and client satisfaction. Consistency is everything.
2. Exceptional Communication
Clients appreciate clarity. I made sure every message was professional, helpful, and timely. Communication is what makes clients come back.
3. Overdelivering Without Overpromising
I never exaggerated what I could do — but I always delivered more than clients expected. That’s what builds trust fast.
4. Fast Response Time
Fiverr rewards sellers who respond quickly. I kept my response time under 1 hour to show professionalism and availability.
5. Repeat Clients and Long-Term Relationships
Many of my clients returned with new projects, and Fiverr noticed. Repeat business signals quality and reliability — two key factors for earning the Choice Badge.
The Impact: What Changed After Earning the Badge
The difference was clear within days.
- My gigs started ranking higher in Fiverr search.
- I received more direct messages from potential clients.
- Conversion rates improved — new clients trusted me instantly.
More importantly, I felt recognized.
After months of learning, testing, and improving, this badge became proof that my approach to freelancing was working.
Mistakes I Avoided Along the Way
Let’s be honest — Fiverr is competitive. But it’s not impossible.
Here are a few mistakes I consciously avoided:
❌ Copying other sellers’ gig descriptions or pricing.
✅ Instead, I built a unique identity and design style.
❌ Ignoring negative feedback.
✅ I treated every revision request as a chance to learn.
❌ Chasing too many gigs at once.
✅ I mastered one niche — thumbnail design — and focused on quality before expanding.
These small decisions made a huge difference.
How You Can Earn Fiverr’s Choice Badge Too
If you’re dreaming of getting noticed on Fiverr, here’s what I recommend:
Pick one service and master it.
Fiverr rewards focus — not generalists.
Communicate like a professional.
Always confirm details, show gratitude, and update clients regularly.
Deliver before deadlines.
Early delivery is one of Fiverr’s key metrics for reliability.
Request honest feedback.
Good reviews compound over time — that’s your long-term advantage.
Keep improving your gigs.
Update visuals, keywords, and pricing every month based on analytics.
Remember: Fiverr doesn’t promote who works the hardest.
It promotes who works the smartest and most consistently.
What This Achievement Means to Me
For me, the Fiverr’s Choice Badge is more than a title.
It’s a reminder that growth comes through discipline — not luck.
When I started, I had no idea how Fiverr worked. But by staying consistent, focusing on skill improvement, and treating every client like a long-term partner, I turned a small gig into a professional journey.
And the best part?
This is still just the beginning.
Final Thoughts
If you’re starting out on Fiverr, don’t chase badges — chase excellence.
Badges, levels, and income will follow naturally.
Keep improving your skillsets.
Believe in your process.
And most importantly, stay consistent even when no one’s noticing — because that’s when real growth happens.
“Recognition doesn’t come from being seen; it comes from being consistent.”
