I joined upwork almost 3 days ago and i used all of my connects after that i purchased some new connects from bank and i also used that connects ,but did not get any sinlgIe projec although i am verified freelancer so i can't buy anymore connects because i related to lower class family,

I have 5+ experience in graphics work such as logo designing, photoshop editing, vector work etc .

I am new on upwork so it's very impossible for me to get 1st project and i don;t have money to purchase connects

should i leave upwork now???

Hi Rafique,

First off, the expectation that you will get a job in 3 days is fairly unreasonable. It takes most new freelancers weeks, if not more than a month, to get their first gig. 

Second, your profile needs serious work. It does not differentiate you or give a client any reason to hire you. Have you looked at the profiles of any other graphic designers on Upwork? Your profile says nothing of what you can offer clients and why working with you is better than working with someone else. There is a lot of competition, and so far you have done nothing to sell your services. There are numerous resources on Upwork about how to create a good profile and proposal. I suggest you read them. 

Good luck.
