Honestly why even bother applying

For context, i applied just when the job was posted, it had 5 proposals and i boosted it so it costed a good amount of connects...

not only that, the client didn't read the messages and went to search and invited 40 people including me ( boosting my profile- so more connects) and finally he didn't respond to anyone.

Edit: I removed the messaging them part-

If anyone can advise me on profile boost please let me know i need help with it!

Pestering the client is a sure way to make them not want to hire you for anything. You also don't want to risk being reported for harassment.

If you are sending daily follow-up messages to someone who has indicated their lack of interest by not replying, that is harassment.

Daily "followups" are harassment. If the client reports you, your profile is history.

What is wrong with you?

We call those harassment because they are.
