I have been hearing a lot about the Designer’s current rates from the Wix Marketplace based on the number of leads that come in and the number leads that are converted into submitted projects.
It has been said that the Wix Marketplace can remove designers if they do not reach 1% or more conversion. Is this true?
How does that work? Designers have the number of total of leads since they joined Wix Markplace (before, Wix Arena). I am sure there are Designers, maybe, in this forum or Wix Partners, tried “worldwide” clients and more than 10+ services. But yet cannot get a conversion because of the budget of the client, no response, and so forth. Which makes their conversion rates lower than 1%.
Would it be fair to do the statistics by month? I know for myself I made a lot of changes over the years, such as being selective of which countries or services. But sure, I have made mistakes in the past because it seemed to be the right idea, not in the long run, no. Maybe refreshing the total leads should be optional (with good reason) of course.
How does this work for the Designer’s price range? Of course, there are designers that will convert submitted projects if they charge around $300-$600 for a full website What about designers who have a higher price range? Why would they “punished” if they do not convert because the client has a low budget? Budget limits from their clients will be challenge.
Maybe there is should be a point system for every dollar the designer made with a submitted project.
For example: If Designer A and B get 1 point per dollar.
If Designer A submitted 3 projects of:
$350, $400, $250 =$1000 dollars =1000pts
If Designer B submitted 1 project of:
$1000 dollars = 1000pts
They both get recognition for their hard work. It seems that those Designers who look for a higher price range (to match their worth) does not get validated on the Wix Marketplace.
Any thoughts about these points about the Wix Marketplace?
