Hey Vladmir. Thanks for your reply. I know that Basic members have 60 Connects. I'm saying it should be reduced to 50. Freelancer Plus members are allowed to rollover up to 140 Connects! Isn't that outrageous? I'm saying that that rollover of Connects should be stopped. No one should rollover nothing.

I agree with your idea of reducing the number of connects to 50 for the Basic plan. But why bother about the rollover? People that have large numbers of rollover connects nearly never use all of their connects anyway and there must be something in return for the paid Plus plan.

Yes 60 connects is not enough for a new freelancer only.
I think it can be a time interval to a new Freelancers which is first 6 months is the time for new Freelancers. And in this 6 months the newbi will receive 80 or 100 connects to get the first job in Upwork...

Hi,
I have only just started out on Upwork and have found that 60 connects is just enough to get the first few interviews. It prevents you from submitting proposals to every project that comes up in your feed and makes you apply to only the jobs that you have a chance of getting. However, I have now completed my first job and am beginning to think about upgrading - 60 connects just does not seem to be enough if you are going to take this seriously and use it on a more full-time basis. Just my opinion.

The 60 connects system means that for proposals, the rule is definitely quality over quantity. With every job that I choose to apply for, I expect a positive response from the client who is hiring. If I am looking for more work, I usually submit one proposal a day. I take a little time to research around the job (involving Googling), to see what is required.
Currently, I think 60 connects is more than enough. Especially if there are regular invitations from clients, and also if you pick up a long-term client.
