Hi Chanika, 

We calculate the number of Connects needed based on the projected job duration, budget amount, and marketplace demand. Once a job is posted, we also may lower the number of Connects required to encourage more freelancers to submit proposals. This means a job with fewer proposals might require fewer Connects.

I have seen Connects range from 2 to 6 without bidding. 4 to 6 seems to be very common in my category.
