Listing an AI service from your workspace
The listing wizard in seven steps, what each one is really asking for, and the two things that must be set up before you can publish at all.
/workspace is where you run everything you have going: Active for work in progress, Applications for everything you have applied to, Posted for projects you have put up as a buyer, and AI Services for the listings you sell. This page is about that last tab.
A listing is a product page. The thing that makes one sell is not the writing — it is that a buyer can tell exactly what they get and see that you have done it before.
Before you can publish
Two things block publishing, and both are quicker to do first than to discover halfway through the form:
- A payout method. Stripe or PayPal, connected from the same tab. A listing with nowhere to send the money cannot go live.
- Vetting evidence. Proof that you have built this kind of thing, a specialty specific enough to match against, and a reply to any question the reviewer sends you. That is its own page — see getting a service listing approved.
The seven steps
The wizard saves as you go, so you can leave and come back.
- 1Overview. Title, category and subcategory. The category is what puts you in a buyer's filtered list, so pick the one they would filter by, not the one that sounds broadest.
- 2Description and skills. A short description for the card and a full one for the page. Write the full description around what the buyer ends up with — the deliverable, what you need from them, and what "done" looks like.
- 3Pricing and packages. Fixed, hourly, or custom, and optionally two or three packages. Each package carries its own price, delivery time, revisions and feature list.
- 4Media. A cover image, a gallery, and a demo video. The video is the highest-converting field on the whole form: it is the only one that shows the thing running.
- 5Automation blueprint. Optional, and the step that makes a listing feel like a product rather than a profile. It captures the trigger, the steps and the systems involved.
- 6Requirements and FAQ. What you need from the buyer before you can start, and the questions you are tired of answering in chat.
- 7Preview. The listing exactly as a buyer sees it. Read it once as someone who has never met you.
Service tiers, and what each one is expected to ship with
Tiers are not a badge — they set what a buyer expects for the money, and a mismatch between your price and your tier is a common reason a listing reads as untrustworthy.

What "publish" actually does
This is the step most often misread. Publishing saves your listing and puts it in front of a reviewer — it does not put it in the marketplace. New listings are held until an admin approves them, so a listing that looks live in your workspace is not yet findable by buyers.
The "Publish immediately" switch on step 1 is a different thing entirely: it controls whether the listing is *active* or *paused* once it clears review. Turning it on does not skip the hold.
Skills on step 2 look optional — the wizard lets you move past them — but an empty skills list blocks publishing at the end. Fill them in as you go rather than discovering it on step 7.
The insurance add-on
Optional cover the buyer pays for at checkout, so a larger first order feels survivable to someone who has not worked with you before.
It is not available on every listing. Only the two larger tiers carry it, at a premium set per tier: 3% of the order on System Integration, 5% on Enterprise Suite. Quick Zap and Workflow listings cannot offer it.
How many listings you can have
- Starter5 listings
- Verified12 listings
- Pro27 listings
- EliteUnlimited
These are the allowances your workspace counts against. The server enforces its own limit from your subscription record, and a mismatch between the two shows up as a refusal at publish time rather than a lower number on screen. If the counter says you have room and publishing is refused, that is the one to report.
Editing, pausing and removing
Everything in the wizard stays editable after publishing. A listing can be deactivated rather than deleted, which takes it out of the marketplace while keeping its reviews and history — that is the right move for work you are not taking on this month but will again.
Editing a live listing's scope or price does not change orders already placed. Those run on the terms that were live when the buyer paid.
Getting found
Ranking is not something you set. It comes from the same signals as everything else on REWORK: verified proofs in the same area, delivered work, reviews, and how fast you reply. A new listing from someone with proofs behind them outranks an older listing from someone without.
