What Are The Connects and How Do They Work on Upwork?

How Can I Make The Most Of Your Connects?

There are a few things that you can do to make the most of your Connects:

Choose Jobs Wisely

You don’t want to spend all your time applying to projects that you’re iffy about. Make sure that you are applying to jobs that you are qualified for and that you have a good chance of getting. This will help you make the most of your time and your Connects.

Get Reward Connects

When you bid on a project and get invited for an interview you can win reward connects.

Focus Hard On Each Proposal

Make sure that you are putting your best foot forward when you are bidding on a project. Spend time on each proposal and make sure that it is well written and error free.

Work Hard On Every Job

The harder you work on each job the more work you will get from repeat clients. Getting work from repeat clients doesn’t cost you any Connects, so make sure that you are putting your best foot forward on each job.

Can You Get Connects Before They Reset?

Yes, you can get connects before they reset. You can buy connects at $0.15 per connect.

This can help if you don’t want to wait to bid on specific jobs or if you want to make sure that you have enough connects to apply to a job.

Why Did Some Connects Come Back Out Of Nowhere?

If a client cancels a job or Upwork deems the job against the TOS or a scam, then the connects used for that job are put back into your account. It is important to remember that these cases are rare, so you should be using your connects mostly for working on projects.

Are there any other ways to get work besides using your connects on Upwork?

Yes, there is. When a client finds your profile on Upwork, they can choose to send you a job proposal even if you don’t have any connects. You will then be able to see the job and decide if you want to apply with no connect costs.

How Long Do Unused Connects Last?

Unused connects expire after one year. So if you don’t use them, you will lose them.

Do Connects Expire When You Buy Them?
