Use of Connects

[#1]

Please tell how can i send proposals for job without using connects? I believe currently my membership is free. And i can see 20 connects available for disposal. Will i have to pay for them once i use them?

Thanks.

Hi Ritu,

Once you find a project you're interested in, you can use your Connects balance to submit a proposal. New freelancers will receive 20 connects to help them get started. Once you`ve used your connects you will need to purchase more if you would like to send more proposals.
