Not receiving connects as a new account

[#1]

Hello, Everyone!

A friend suggested I create an upwork account to Jumpstart my freelancing career. He mentioned that I should have free connectes upon joining for me to bid on contracts. After completing my account, I have 0 connect credits. Is there anything else I need to do?

Hello Kholida,

Thank you for reaching out. To clarify, 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.

I also shared your concern about the issue with purchasing Connects with our assigned team, and one of our agents will contact you soon. You can access your support ticket here.

If you’re wondering why you haven't received free connects as a new account, please note that Upwork no longer gives free Connects at sign up like they did before.
