Hello and welcome to the group.     

1.  It looks like your profile is not public.  So I cannot take a look.

2.  With the free membership you get 10 free connects a month.

Make sure to use these on jobs that you are the best fit for and take your time writting an ideal cover letter.   Here are some tips;   https://www.upwork.com/resources/how-to-write-a-cover-letter

hey thank you for your reply ,the account is not public since the admin claims i have no been having frequent visitors to the account ,so like they are trying to encurage me to have more visits for it to change to [available]

Hello Godwins, 

As your profile is private and you don’t know much more about Upwork connects, so I have assumed that you are new on this platform that's why I am going to suggest you following things pertinent to this post:

1. Take Upwork readiness test and make sure 5 scores, by then you will get one times 40 connects as reward.

2. You will get 10 free connects per month, try to use those in the best possible way.

3. Make sure you keep some $ on your upwork profile whenever withdraw money so that you can use your profile balance to purchase connects when needed [ I've assumed you don’t have international card right now to purchase connects, so you should have plan-B]. So ensure that you keep 21 to 30$ at all time on your Upwork profile to buy connects whenever you wants withdrawal money.

4. Response interview as quickly as possible to win 10 or 20 connects as bonus.

Hope this information may help you a little bit. 

Thank you.

thank you hasan , i appreciate your feedback , about the last comment on number 4. i just dint understand  it well ......the response interview

Dear Godwins,

Alternative explanation of last point (4): when clients message you, you need to respond/reply/text them as quickly as possible to get 10 or 20 connects as bonus. 

Thank you.

It's probably a better idea to ask your friends or relatives for money, not people on upwork who might very well be your competition.
