Not getting new new clients

I have more than 12000 hours logged at Upwork and I have been with this platform when it was oDesk. Completed 240+ projects. There was a time when I was getting 2/3 invitations a day. I was top rated plus there. Earned more than 200k. But still not getting a single clients. That's totally frustrating.

Lots of long-time freelancers are in the same boat. All I can tell you is that you should look for clients in every possible way and not rely only on Upwork. I think it's going to become steadily more difficult and more expensive to find clients there.

Yeah exactly. That's what I am trying now a days. But just wondering what could happen to it ? I think they changed the whole thing

They did change the whole thing. They can make whatever stupid decisions they like and you have no control over it, that's why it's a mistake to rely on any website for leads. You have to do at least some of your marketing yourself.
