I submitted two proposals, but just as I clicked 'submit proposal,' I found myself outside of the top four bidding positions. However, I still haven't received my boosted connects back.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi all,
As a freelancer or agency, you'll use Connects to Submit Proposals and let clients know you're interested in their project. You receive ten free Connects every month at the beginning of your billing cycle and bonuses for some interviews you win. We will send you a notification in Upwork (notification bell) and an email when you earn free Connects. For more information on how this works, check out our guide here.

Call bank's customer service and ask them to activate international transactions. bank in our country usually disable international transactions by default.

I opened account on 3rd June today is 8th but I didn't get 50 free connect.

Hi Sharina,
You will receive your 50 free connects immediately after you buy connects for the first time. Most newly registered freelancers don't know this. However, at the moment, this is how it works; buy your first connects and 50 free connects will be added for you.

Hi AndreaG,
I have placed connects for boosted bids, but the client has not even viewed my proposal. Can I withdraw my proposal and take the contents back?

I am regularly active in upwork for 2 months but I am not getting any order in my project. I have sent many proposals, I have written a beautiful cover letter, but no one has given me a job yet. We also have family, they have needs. How to meet their needs if they do not get work. I have no money now. Someone please help me to get a job.

Wow, Upwork is really spoiling us with 10 free connects a month! That’s just enough to apply for, what, half a job? Especially when you need to cough up 20+ connects just to bid on a project worth a whopping $20-$30. Truly generous!

As I was attempting to read a post I had marked, I discovered these two unrelated threads had been smashed together, making it impossible to follow. This does nothing to tidy up the forum, but it does bury threads.

hello

Sep 28, 2024 11:46:11 PM by Joanne P
Hi Noelia,
Upwork currently requires new freelancers to do one of two things before being able to submit a proposal for a job: subscribe to our Freelancer Plus membership plan for $19.99 USD a month, or purchase Connects. After you fulfill this requirement you will also receive 50 free Connects to further help you get started on Upwork. You can check this helpful article to learn more about using Connects.

Receiving only 10 connects each month isn’t much support. I think it should be reconsidered, as it's not enough to send a proposals. My opinion upwrok stop sending ten connects every month.

I've noticed that for a long time, my proposals are being viewed, but the connects aren't being returned. Yesterday, I applied for a project using 18 connects, I purchased connects for $3; they weren't free connects. The client viewed it and even responded to me, but I still haven't received the connects back. Why is that?
