Exactly when will i have enough connects to submit a proposal

[easeit]

Hello there,

Its been couple of months passed of my upwork profile approval still i require 2 more connects to submit a proposal. I had read my threads before they connects refresh everymonth but appearently its not like that. Can a basic plan user like me submit a proposal or not? if yes then, when and how? as i'm always shorton of connects? if not then what's next?

Hi Noman,

Once you start an application at the top it will be listed how many connects are required to submit a proposals. I just checked your account and you have 60 connects available, once you start a proposal and finish your cover letter click on the green button at the bottom Submit a Proposals. I would also recommend to check out this Thread and learn more about getting started on Upwork. Thank you.

Hi Noman,

This message explains how many connects are needed so that you can submit a proposal and how many connects you will have after you've submitted a proposal.

At the moment you 60 connects once you have submitted a proposal 2 connects will be deducted from your profile, after this you will have 58 available connects. To learn more about connects and how to use them check out this Help Article, thank you.

But you might have not looked my profile properly because when i submit a proposal it says i need 2 more connects and currently i have 58. My simple question is how do i get that 2 connect to submit a proposal.? see an attached image

 Noman, you don't receive connects when you submit a proposal, you use the connects you have. If you have 58 connects and apply for a job that required 2 connects you have 56 connects left.
