Hi Nirodha,

Apologies for the delay in response. Yes, you can already buy up to 3500 Connects. Please note that unused Connects expire after a year.

I guess selling connects will now be the main revenue stream for Upwork.

How many million freelancers on upwork will spend $525.

I guess it will shutoff countless freelancers from Bangladesh,  India,  Pakistan, African countries.

It will not deter scammers.  This just increases their cost of doing business.  In a way buyers could be losers too.  Scammers will be on top.

I doubt that, since it's not necessary to boost if you don't want to. And droves of new freelancers - from everywhere - are joining Upwork every minute of every day.

Yes the main thing is a quality proposal that stands out from the crowd
