I stop receiving invitations

When I started working I received between 4 and 6 invitations per day, now I don't receive any invitations, the last ones I received I had to reject them because I was very much below my salary or they were all spam (they contained links to telegram, to whatsapp), even Despite having the JSS, after having obtained the Rise Talent badge, containing all the requirements for this type of recognition, now I have not received any job invitations, and it has never happened to me that I have received any acceptance by sending proposals, I have used the Boost tool in the proposals without any result and I also acquired the visibility button but all my attempts have not changed anything.

Can someone help me understand why such drastic changes occur? At first I had to stay working at dawn to respond on time with all the jobs and now nothing happens despite having had a progressive growth on the platform 🤷🏼‍:female_sign: Thank you

There's a huge amount of competition in the logo category, including dishonest freelancers selling stolen designs for $5 each. My advice would be to forget about bidding on logo projects and focus on a different area of design - maybe you could start a specialised profile for packaging design, if you have more samples to show?

I wouldn't be surprised if losing your Rising Talent badge has had an impact on your invitations, so until you get a top-rated badge, you'll need to send proposals instead. And I don't think it's necessary to have your visibility button turned on, because if you're not appearing high in the searches, it won't be seen.
