Firslty, Boosted Proposal Bid Table is now out of 6-weeks testing and live for all freelancers. We’ve made a separate detailed post with our honest opinion about this update several weeks ago (read it here), so we let’s focus on the second update.
Q3 2022 Subcategory, Specialty, and Skill Updates.
The changes only concern renaming of some subcategories and specialties. But while this seems like a very minor update, the right specialties in your profile may cause a lot more (of less) invites you receive from clients. If you are not happy with your current visibility on the platform - try to play with skills and specialties to get more relevant high quality invites.
