Note: Unfortunately Upwork currently requires new freelancers to do one of two things before being able to submit a proposal for a job: 1 - Subscribe to their Freelancer Plus membership plan for $20 USD a month, or 2 - Purchase 100 Connects for $15 USD. After you fulfill this requirement you will also receive 50 free Connects to further help you get started on Upwork.
Good morning, please I'm a beginner and i created an account with Upwork 2days ago and haven't received any connects. please what do I do next? Any help with this?
Hello Sadiq, I just created my profile and I didn’t get any connect. What did I do wrong ? How can I correct that? Do I have to delete and start from the scratch? I really do hope you respond 😢
I am a voiceover artist and have more samples in that aspect but it isn't accepting either videos or audio. Can I use my VA portfolio instead? I am a new VA with no experience
Hi Sadiq, I have experience in transcription but then I didn't have my own account at the time I was working. I was using someone else' account. Should I write I have experience? But again, if later on a client asks for files I worked on, I will not have any to show. I am in a dilemma whether to write I have experience or skip it. Please advice.
So there was a video i watch recently about creating an upwork account but the guy mentioned use if expressvpn and it's not free and affordable for a starter wjat do you suggest
I strongly advise against using VPN when creating your account. If you use a different location than your actual location you cannot verify your account and it could lead to getting your account suspended.
You can take a screenshot of an email inbox (it can be your own email inbox) showing an organized inbox with labels and tags. That is an example of email management sample.

You can use something like "Digital Marketing Assistant" or "Dynamic Virtual Virtual Assistant" and you can elaborate on the specifics in your services description.
This is good. But I have a question, when setting up my account on Upwork, there is a section that I am to indicate my level of experience, pls which am I to choose even though I have real experience but new on Upwork? Thanks as I await your response.

No you receive 50 free connects only the first time. They might change how they do it at any time so don't be surprise if they stop giving the 50 free connects.
Upwork doesn't have a limit of number of proposals you can send. As long as you have connects available you can send proposals until you exhaust your connects, then you will have to buy more to send more proposals.

I am confident since they gave it to you you can use it. But you can easily try and see if there is any limitation.

Hi Sadiq, Thank you for this. My upwork account is requiring me to upload a means of identity before I can apply for Jobs. How do I do it?
You can simply follow Upwork process and upload an identification, National ID, Drivers Licence or International Passport.

After paying for the membership plan, do you send any number of proposals without limitation ?
For the purchase of 100 connects, do you receive 50 connect whenever you buy them ?
No you receive 50 free connects only the first time. They might change how they do it at any time so don't be surprise if they stop giving the 50 free connects.

For every purchase of 100 connects , do you receive 50 connects always ?
No, they give 50 free connects only the first time, and they might stop giving the free connects at any time so don't rely on it.
Hi Sadiq,
Thanks for your detailed videos. However, I did not get any free connect upon sign up.
what could be the reason?

Hello Umar. I pressed the boost button and it took all of connect.
