Thanks for the video, i created upwork account since september 2024, with a 100% profile completion but i have not received any connects yet, please any help?
You have to buy in order to have connects. Sometimes Upwork give free connects but that is entirely dependent on Upwork decision, there is nothing you can do to get free connects.
Good afternoon sir, please I created my up work account and when I wanted to apply for a job, they said I don't have enough connect or something, and I should add my billing address to get 50 connects, so when I added my bank card it was declined and the next thing was that my account was permanently blocked, I don't know if you have an idea of what I can do please. Thank you.
Here is what Upwork support says about initial free connects: "You’ll get a free batch of 50 initial Connects within 48 hours of submitting your profile to join Upwork. If you’d like to get access to these 50 Connects faster, you can add a billing method. Once we verify your billing details, your Connects will appear in your Upwork account." Regarding the blocking of your account, it could be because you added a billing method with a different name than the name you used in your Upwork account. Upwork like many other online systems uses algorithms to detect violation of their terms of use, so it is possible the algorithms blocked your account in error. You can contact their support and see if they can fix it for you or create another account with a different email. Just note that they will not verify your account if you add a billing method with a different name that the name you use on Upwork. Hope that helps.
@@sadiqumarnig thanks for your response, but the billing details are the same as my name I used to create the account, and their help center I don't know where exactly to find them, I've been trying to reach out to them but I can't find them
When you create new account in Upwork you will receive 50 free connects. When you apply for jobs you spend the connects. Some jobs require 8 connects to apply some require 16 connects etc. When you exhaust the free connects then you have to buy connects to be able to apply for jobs.

When your connect finishes what happens
When you create new account in Upwork you will receive 50 free connects. When you apply for jobs you spend the connects.
Some jobs require 8 connects to apply some require 16 connects etc.
When you exhaust the free connects then you have to buy connects to be able to apply for jobs.
