Not receiving connects as a new account

[8ddc61ab]

Hi there! I created an Upwork account on July 10th, 2024, and I haven't received any connects since then. I have checked my Connects History and there's still nothing. I would be so grateful if you could help me with this issue. Thank you!

If your profile is new (it appears to be), you must subscribe to Freelancer Plus for $20 USD/month or purchase 100 Connects for $15 USD to submit your first proposal. After you fulfill this requirement, you will also get the 50 free Connects that freelancers traditionally receive when signing up. Then, you will start receiving the 10 free Connects tied to your membership.

But first, you should update your photo and complete your profile.

Hello!! I joined Upwork 2 days ago but I didn't get any connects , I heard we get some free connects on joining and I added 2 payment methods in get paid. I went to connects history but is still showing 0 (Zero)

Also I would like to know how long it takes payment method to be active

Thanks

Buying connects might be a good idea to start applying for jobs. Good luck! I also signed up yesterday and didn't receive any connects. I bought a $15 connect pack and managed to land my first job.

Dear sir/madam,

Greetings...

I am asking for connects. I signed up to Upwork lately, but I didn't receive a free connect given when a new account was opened. So kindly, can I receive the connects that I am supposed to get as a new member?

Best regards

Hi Rigo, I hope you are doing well.

I am new member in Upwork like you and I didn't get free connects. This is not Upwork's problem.

I hope this helps. Thank you for your time.

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

Thank you for your assistance

Hi! Dear 

My name is Jobayer Hossen from Bangladesh 

I am a new member of Upwork. I don't know about this 

[e321a20c]

It's been almost a month and a half for me. But I haven't got free connect yet. But why? Does anyone know about this? 

[87177839]

I created my profile as a freelancer on Upwork more than 48 hours ago but I haven't received the 50 free connections yet. Is there a reason for this? How could I solve this issue? 

[e12c2a7b]

I read that I will receive 50 free connects for creating an account and my current balance is 0 connects. It's been more than a week since I created my account! Thank you for your help in advance.

I'm Karen and I'm a beginner in this excellent platform! trying to understand how it works and seeking to generate a good connection with the rest of the freelancers and companies (clients) to be able to work in a great way so I accept advice!

A question... I don't receive yet from Upwork some connections to apply a work. I understand that when you start here you receive some o not? 

Thanks a lot!
