Fiverr International Ltd. (FVRR) anticipates revenue to increase to $76 million in the fourth quarter due to high demand for temporary services. It was once considered that such demand was solely a result of the epidemic and forced social isolation.
However, several prominent corporations have already come out in support of permanent remote work for at least part of their staff. Large corporations are driving this trend, but smaller businesses are being pushed to adopt similar guidelines as more competent individuals perceive teleworking as a competitive advantage.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 epidemic has resulted in the formation of a huge number of self-employed individuals making money on short-term tasks. These are all aspects that can help the Fiverr platform develop.
Fiverr International Ltd. (FVRR) is now undertaking a large marketing effort in numerous key areas, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia. Furthermore, the firm intends to build a fully working ecosystem for freelancers and their clients and is now exploring mass-market prospects.
