Boost on/ off

Hello everyone,
Could someone explain the distinction between boosts where the sign is on with the one that is off? I noticed it in the proposal list I sent earlier.

Thanks

Hi Taraneh,

It looks like you're talking about boosting proposals. With this feature, an auction is used to determine which proposals are boosted, meaning, shown at the top of all other proposals to catch the clients' attention. 

Here's how it works:

1. Find. You see a job post that is a great match for your skills and experience.
2. Decide. If you really value the job, you can bid to boost your proposal. It’s always optional and clients will still receive your proposal if you don’t boost it. The bid table shows what other freelancers are bidding to help you decide.
3. Bid. Set the maximum number of Connects you’re willing to spend to win one of the top spots as a boosted proposal. This bid cost will be in addition to the regular requirement of Connects to submit a proposal.
4. See auction results. If you’ve bid more than other freelancers, we’ll highlight your proposal to the client by putting it in the top four slots and adding a “Boosted” icon with a blue lightning bolt. If you are outbid, the label and blue lightning bolt will be removed from your proposal and your proposal will be moved down the list.
