Set the Accept Proposals Until date to the last day you'd like to receive proposals. After that date, your gig shows as Closed so freelancers know not to apply.
- One-time project: Pick a date that leaves time to review proposals, choose a freelancer, and still meet your work deadline. For most gigs, 5 to 10 days is plenty.
- Ongoing or as-needed work: Leave it blank. Your gig stays open until you award it.
- Rush work: Choose a date 1 to 3 days out so you get proposals quickly.
If you have a deadline for the finished work, include it in your description so freelancers can factor it into their quote.
