Happy International Freelancer Day!

You make every day about your clients, let’s make today about YOU.

The future is freelancing

The 9-5 life? It’s on the decline. But you already knew that. With around 46.5% of the total global workforce working for themselves, we’re working with a new reality. So we’re taking time today to celebrate the source of all that outsourcing success: Freelancers!

Join in on the celebrations in three easy steps:

1. TELL US WHY YOU FREELANCE

We know you love to freelance. But now we want to know why. We’re hosting a one-day social media contest, and we want you to answer the prompt “I freelance so I can…”

So how do you enter?

Show Us

Want a chance to win up to $1,000? Let’s see why you freelance!

You can either create a video answering the prompt or use the prompt as inspiration to use your visual services to demonstrate why you freelance in your own way (think graphic, illustration or even a song). Get creative, have fun, share it with us on social, and you might see your submission win big!

Want some inspiration? We’ve got you covered.

Tell Us

Words more your thing? Post a quick tweet or status update on social media completing the sentence “I freelance so I can…”. Those with the most creative responses have a chance to win up to $100.

2. APPLY FOR A WELLNESS GRANT

While being a freelancer comes with tons of perks, we know there are also some challenges. Apply for Fiverr’s Freelancer Wellness Grant, created in partnership with The Freelancers Union, for a chance to receive a $500 microgrant that you can use to directly support the wellness-related costs of your choice.

Thank you, for everything you do!
