Hi Sana,

 

Please know that the Freelancer Basic plan doesn't include free Connects so you'll need to purchase them if you'd like to send proposals. Some background information: Connects system on Upwork was updated a year ago and you can read more about that change in this Community Announcement.

 

This can vary based on your location, but all Upwork users will be able to purchase Connects with a credit card or prepaid card. If you aren’t able to use a credit card or prepaid card or you don’t have an Upwork balance, in many cases you’ll be able to use PayPal.

Thank you,

You buy connects like everyone else.

Unless there is significant demand for your writing services in your own language, I would suggest you rethink what you are offering.

hmmm right but dont you think that there should be way that where freelancer can earn first then spend to buy connects such as providing some connect on every start of the week.

It doesn't matter what I think. This is the way it is.

The point is that most job posts get excessive proposals, so giving more people more connects to send even more proposals is not in Upwork's interest.

You don't have a promo code. Simply leave that field blank while buying the upgrade.

I know but I want to get the promo code.

re: "I know but I want to get the promo code."

 

You will not receive a promo code. Upwork isn't giving those to anyone right now.

I want to get a magical unicorn.

Looks like we're both bang out of luck...
