Inability to Apply for Jobs Due to Insufficient Connects

[#1]

Hello Upwork, how can I earn more connects to apply for more jobs?

Please suggest.

[#2 · Accepted solution]

To apply for more jobs on Upwork, you'll need to purchase additional connects. However, you do get 10 free connects each month to help you get started. Make sure to use them wisely! If you find yourself applying to a lot of projects, consider buying more connects to keep your options open and increase your chances of landing gigs.

How to purchase more connects? What is the minimum amount to purchase?

I wasn't given any free connect

thru monthly free connects, earn a badge, thru purchase, complete Upwork Skill certification, redeem rewards

The minimum amount you can purchase is 10 connects for $1.50, but there are several options based on how many you think you'll need. It really depends on how often you're applying and the types of projects you're targeting.

Focusing on submitting quality proposals for jobs that are a great match for your expertise will help you get better results—and if you’re invited to interview, you'll earn back the connects you used for that application. Are there certain types of jobs where you're seeing more responses?"
