50 free connects

[d38e3a8b]

I recently signed up as a new freelancer on Upwork and I am eager to start applying for jobs. However, I have noticed that I have not yet received the initial 50 connects that are typically provided to new freelancers to help them get started on the platform.

Could you please assist me in understanding why I have not received these connects? Is there an additional step I need to complete or a requirement I might have overlooked?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, I'm new to upwork, they used to give free connects, isn't it now?

[8de7e5e4]

for 50 free connects you have to buy their memership plan for connects or you have to buy connects for 15 dollars in order to receive 50 free connects.

Okay, I got it. Thank you

Dear Upwork Support,

I'm writing to follow up on my Upwork freelancer profile. I completed it several weeks ago and am eager to start working with clients. However, I haven't yet received confirmation that my profile has been reviewed and activated.

Additionally, I understand that new freelancers receive 50 free Connects to use when submitting proposals. I haven't seen these Connects credited to my account yet.

Would you be able to check the status of my profile review and confirm if I should have received Connects?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,

[LuiggiR]

Hello Mohammadamin,

I can confirm that your account is already active. Additionally, 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 $20 USD a month, or purchase 100 Connects for $15 USD. After you fulfill this requirement you will also receive 50 free Connects to further help you get started on Upwork.

I have app work account since 4 to 5 days but still not able to connect why ? Will I receive the bill after the due date?

Hello,Moderator 

I just created accounts with Upworks but unfortunately  I got  zero  connect as a new freelancer . Have  you made any changes to  connects  as new freelancer  since it used to be 50 connect as new worker?

I am new to this and I did not get my free connects after login. What should I do.

[2297e2bc]

Stand patient for a few days. New accounts are sluggish to get settled in.

Must be that 1982 server they have!

Anyway, you can buy a few. You will have to eventually anyway and get the jobs rolling.

USUING CONNECTS is a whole scu=ience that I am going to write a book on (maybe)

In the meantime - your profile could use a lot more information and polishing.

Good Luck!

Hello

It's been more than 48 hours since I joined upwork and didn't get connects, still it's showing zero connects. 

Please help me. 

Thank you.

hey I have the same issue , Unfortunately I found that we have to buy 100 connects for 15$ and then they will charge extra 50 connects🙄

[n_pudikova]

There are NO free connects any longer. To receive 50 connects from Upwork, you need to either: a) subscribe to the Freelancer Plus membership ($20 per month) or b) buy 100 connects directly from Upwork for $15. Once you do either, Upwork will add 50 free connects on top.

[72c44905]

Doesnt Upwork give free Connects to new freelancers any more ?
Usually Upwork gave free connect as you signed up , completed your profile and passed Upwork Accademy before.

Why It's policy  gets harder for freelancers every day

Hello Upwork Community,

I recently joined Upwork and have been excited to start my freelancing journey here. However, I noticed that I haven't received the initial free connects that are typically provided to new users.

Is there a specific step I might have missed during the sign-up process, or is there an issue with my account that needs to be addressed? Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support!
