Let’s take a moment to reflect on 2024, and see what’s coming in 2025.
2024 was a big year. Our community grew to over 100,000 independent talents, and AI was the topic everyone couldn’t stop talking about. But what does that mean for 2025? What changes can we expect, and how can we get ready?
Each year brings new tools, strategies and opportunities that change the way we work. The shifts will be even more thrilling, and paradigm-shaking in 2025.
The big picture?
Independents are not just service providers anymore. They are scaling, diversifying, and building businesses like never before.
Here are 7 predictions we have for 2025:
#1 AI is making service businesses scalable
Freelancers used to face a hard limit: there’s only one of you, and time is finite. But with AI, that’s changing fast.
#2 Distribution and sales will matter more than ever
When everyone can do more, the real challenge becomes standing out. Visibility is your new superpower.
#3 The line is fading between freelancers and entrepreneurs
A new era where the title doesn’t matter as much, what matters is how you turn your skills into scalable growth.
#4 Marketplaces will lose market share
With more tools to sell directly, freelancers are bypassing platforms to monetize their skills on their own terms.
#5 Subscription payments will become the new normal
In 2025, subscription payments are set to take over the freelance market. Think of it like Netflix, but for talent.
#6 Digital products will boom
The freelance world is shifting from services to products, and the revenue potential is bigger than ever.
#7 Rise of Merchant of Record services
With more freelancers and creators launching digital products, one thing is clear, they need better ways to sell.
