If you ever get stuck on ideas for the content you want to hire for, Fiverr has got just the feature to help you out.
Fiverr's Pinterest-like “Inspire” feature is designed for inspiration and exploration. Keep reading to find out how this addition to the Fiverr platform can help you find new ideas and talent for your projects.
What Is Fiverr's Inspire Feature?
Fiverr wants you to stay inspired by the work that freelancers create, so in December 2021, it announced the Inspire feature in a blog post, which reads:
Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE: FVRR), the company that is changing how the world works together, is announcing Inspire, a new experience within the company's mobile app built for visual discovery and ideation. Inspire brings to life the beautiful, eye-catching work crafted by Fiverr freelancers and personalizes the viewing experience for each customer. It also allows customers to interact with the content by 'liking' it in their feed, and adding it to a mood board or list within the app for later reference.
Much like Pinterest, Inspire will show you work done by freelancers to spark ideas in you. You can like and save the content that stands out to you to a mood board for future reference.
The idea is to help you get ideas for your projects, for everyday inspiration, or to find freelancers whose work stands out to you for future projects.
That way, you don't always have to come up with new ideas from scratch. You can, instead, use the content from Inspire as a starting point. This particularly comes in handy on the days when you feel like you've hit a wall.
5 Reasons to Use Fiverr's Inspire Feature
1. Personalization
When you browse the Inspire feed, Fiverr will show you content that is carefully curated based on your recent searches, purchases, or anything you've expressed interest in—thereby creating a personalized feed and experience based on what you're likely to appreciate.
This will also make it easier for you to draw inspiration for current or future projects.
2. Discovery
Because Inspire shows you work done by Fiverr freelancers, you will be able to discover new ideas and freelancers that may not have been on your radar, whom you could possibly partner with on future projects.
The point is to help you find new talent that may be of benefit to you. Each job is different, so having an array of freelancers will help you choose the most suitable talent for each job.
3. Interaction
Previously, customers typically interacted with freelancers about projects. Now, you can have casual interactions with freelancers by engaging with their work.
The Inspire feed allows you to show appreciation for the work that freelancers put out by liking it and saving it to your mood boards.
4. A Sense of Community
Further to the point above, the Inspire feed creates a sense of community by bringing talent and customers together for mutual benefit.
Sometimes, browsing through a freelancer's work can spark an idea or interest that can lead to a collaboration on a project, instead of a client strictly interacting with a freelancer around the mechanics of a project.
5. Exploration
By using native endless exploration, you can find content that is on par with what you are used to, or what you are looking for, over and above personalized content. This, again, can inspire fresh ideas for current and future projects.
You may also find ideas that may not particularly spark anything in you for the time being, but may be interesting enough for you to save in order to refer back to at a later stage, when it becomes relevant for your projects.
Is Fiverr Becoming More Relevant?
Fiver has strictly been a platform for business engagements. The addition of the Inspire feed makes the platform more user-friendly, casual, and interactive, encouraging both freelancers and clients to log on to the platform more often for inspirational purposes and engagement.
Sometimes, this can make business relationships feel more meaningful. Inspire will also spark more conversations around ideas, brainstorming, and collaborations—independent of any particular projects—to help foster more of a sense of community between clients and freelancers.
This could be the very factor that makes Fiverr more relevant.
