AI Skills Boost Freelancers’ Earnings

[lingriiddd]

AI is rapidly transforming freelancing, with a Fiverr survey showing 76% of freelancers already using AI tools. Upwork reports that those offering AI-related services earn 40% more than peers who don’t.

AI expertise allows freelancers to provide higher-value services, bridge the gap between automation and human insight, and streamline repetitive tasks. PwC’s 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer shows workers with AI skills command a 56% wage premium, emphasizing that AI knowledge can directly increase income potential in the gig economy.

Not surprised tbh. Once you start using AI to speed up the boring parts of freelance work, you can take on more clients or focus on higher-paying stuff. The gap is probably only going to get bigger between people who adapt and people who refuse to touch it.
