As a new freelancer on UpWork, you have the opportunity to submit 60 connect requests and proposals in your first two weeks. After that, you’ll be able to submit 20 connect requests and proposals per week. If you need to send more than 20 per week, you can purchase additional connects for $0.15 each.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking of using Upwork to find freelancing work, be aware that there is a limit to the number of bids you can make on the platform for free. After you have made your first 10 bids, you will be required to pay a fee for each subsequent bid. This fee starts at $0.30 per bid and increases incrementally with each additional bid made.

If you’re not sure how many connects you have left for the week, just hover over the “My Jobs” tab at the top of the page. Your current number of available connects will be displayed next to the “Propose” button.
