FREE CONNECT FOR NEW USER

[#1]

I hope this message finds you well. I recently activated my Upwork account and am excited to start my freelancing journey on your platform. I received the confirmation email and appreciate the warm welcome.

As I explore the platform and gear up to bid on projects, I noticed that I haven't received the usual Connects for a new account. I understand that Connects are essential for submitting proposals on projects, and I want to ensure that I have a clear understanding of the conditions and situations regarding Connect allocation.

kindly provide me with information on how Connects are assigned to new accounts? Are there specific criteria or actions that trigger the allocation of Connects to an account? I want to ensure that I am aware of any necessary steps or requirements to fully utilize the bidding system on Upwork.

Policy changed mid-May 2024.

• When you join Upwork, you need to either purchase 100 Connects or subscribe to Freelancer Plus plan if you want to submit proposals. Once you choose one, you get a one-time bonus of 50 Connects to help get you started on Upwork.
