What is it for?

Badges attract customers' attention to your profile, increase trust and justify the higher cost of services.
How is the rating calculated?
The main role in the ranking is played by the number of completed orders. For tasks with a risk-free transaction an additional coefficient is calculated, the size of which depends on the cost of the task.
What is a basic rating and how to get it
What you need to do to get it:
Pass passport check. online and receive the “Passport Verified” badge.
What reduces the rating
Bad grades on an assignment. The lower they are, the smaller the increase in rating. For example, a completed task with ratings of 4, 4, 5 and payment in cash will leave the performer’s rating unchanged. And with ratings of 3, 3, 5, 1 completed task will be deducted from the rating. Bad grades for uncompleted assignments are also taken into account.
Status "Not completed" based on the results of the review, if this happened due to the fault of the performer . In this case, up to 10 completed tasks are deducted from the rating.
Lack of activity on the service. If other performers complete tasks more often than you, they will overtake you in the ranking.
How does the activity of other users affect the rating?
Example. Ivan and Semyon simultaneously became performers in the “Repair and Construction” category. During the first week, Ivan passed the document verification, added information about himself, a portfolio, and successfully completed 3 orders. Semyon completed only 1 task and ended up lower in the ranking.
The next week, Ivan rested, and Semyon passed the document check, filled out his profile, successfully completed 3 tasks and overtook Ivan.
FAQ
Immediately after completing the first task.
10 successfully completed tasks created by the performer are counted in his rating as 1 completed.
- Are completed tasks taken into account in other categories?
Yes. 50 such tasks count as 1 completed.
- Why are performers with fewer tasks higher than me in the rating?
We try to support healthy competition, therefore, over time, the influence of old tasks on the performer’s rating gradually decreases. Each new completed order with positive feedback gives a noticeable increase.
During the validity of the unlimited package issued for the entire category, the weight of completed tasks increases by 15%. A package for 1 subcategory increases only part of the rating, proportional to the number of subcategories.
For example, when registering a package in “Website and Application Design”, the weight of completed tasks in the “Design” category increases by 1.5% (15% / 10 subcategories in “Design”). When a package ends, it no longer affects the rating. Don't forget to renew it.
If a performer has not completed a single task within 6 months, his rating is hidden. When a new offer is added, it begins to be calculated again, taking into account all past merits, and upon successful completion of the next task, it is completely restored.
- What happens if the task went to arbitration, but was eventually closed as completed?
Each subcategory has its own rating, which takes into account all the merits of the performers working in it. For example, in the rating “ Large construction“The weight of tasks completed in this particular subcategory is an order of magnitude higher than in the “Master for an Hour.” Sorting proposals for the customer takes into account the rating of the subcategory in which the task is placed.
Nobody in the world knows Soviet and Russian pop musicians. Especially in the West. However, musicians from Russia in different time entered the Western charts.
All attempts to promote and impose our popular music failed. Russian pop music is very secondary and backward - both technologically and stylistically.
But it has already become good tradition telling the Russian public lies about the successes of certain performers in the West. It's getting really funny.
Kirkorov traveled to Monte Carlo for The World The Music Awards are a show of the best-selling performers in their countries, but it is quite difficult to find a person in Russia who has Kirkorov’s album. Pugacheva, as you know, in 1997 took only 15 place out of 25 at the useless Eurovision.
For some reason Sergey Lazarev sings in English, that’s all human brain unable to cope. Joseph Prigogine, who became an obsession with pushing Valeria to the West, once said in a paid article in a British newspaper that his wife had sold 100 million albums in Russia.
Most big success was with the rapper Timati when the Swiss DJ Antoine made a remix of Timati's song Welcome to St. Tropez. The song topped the charts all over the world, except for the UK and the US. In Switzerland, the song took sixth place at the end of the year. This is our peak pop singers behind Lately.

2. Boris Grebenshchikov - 1989
His album Radio Silence, released in England and the USA, took 198th place on the Billboard200, despite the fact that it was recorded with the then super-popular group Eurythmics. The video shows BG's performance on David Letterman's popular TV show.
3. Gorky Park-1990
Success Gorky Park in the US this cannot be exaggerated. They did not conquer America. Just look at their achievements on the charts.

But Gorky Park generally sold well - 300 thousand copies sold in America alone is very good result. Much more success the group achieved success in Scandinavia. Gorky Park in Norway reached 9th place, and the single Bang - 5th. In Denmark, the album Moscow Calling It even went platinum.
4. Alsou-2000
With the song Before You Love Me "under Britney Spears" she got to 27th place for only a week, during the period when they were trying to promote it in Europe after 2nd place at Eurovision.

The Rostov trance project PPK, with the release of a separate single ResuRection (Eduard Artemyev’s melody from the film “Sibiriyada” by Andrei Konchalovsky with the voice of Yuri Gagarin), debuted in the UK immediately in third place!
The song became the first track from Russia to be in hot rotation on BBC Radio One. ResuRection was then released in other countries, where it also charted successfully - number 5 in the Netherlands, number 9 in Belgium, and number 15 in France and number 36 in Australia.
6. Tattoo-2003

The girls did not become stars of the first magnitude, and their success was not that long, but they sold about 10 million of their records abroad. This is an unattainable result for Russian performers.
The English-language album now has gold status in four countries and platinum in Europe as a whole, the song “All the Things She Said” occupied the first line of the British chart for several weeks, and a cover of The Smiths was performed in the TV series “Gossip Girl” in 2009.

13. Whitney Houston – 112 million
12. Eminem – 115 million

1. The Beatles – 265 million
The Beatles became a symbol of the era. And if their albums continue to sell as strongly over the next two decades, The Beatles could become the first group to cross the 300 million sales mark.
