Why am I getting no proposals to my job posting?

Hello,

 

I've never had this problem before, but my posting is getting zero responses. I usually get a lot very quickly, I've spent a little over $1k on UpWork, so not sure what's going on this time around. I tried to post it yesterday and had the same problem again, so I closed that listing.

I'll tell you what happened to me a couple of weeks ago.

 

I posted a job, and I didn't get any proposals.

 

I was confused, because I usually get many proposals very quickly.

 

Then I looked more closely... the job was set to private. So nobody could see it in their job feeds.

 

Why was the job private?
I realized I had not created the job from scratch, but had chosen the option to COPY a previous job and modify it. But that PREVIOUS job had been set to private after I received many good proposals. So because I copied a job that had been set to private, the new posting I created was private.

 

I set it to public, and then received good proposals from freelancers.
