Last updated on January 27, 2023 @ 2:17 pm

As a freelancer on UpWork, you have the opportunity to bid on jobs that interest you. When you win a job, the client pays you an agreed-upon amount of money for the work.

But first, you have to purchase connects.

Connects are UpWork’s currency, and you need them in order to submit a proposal for most jobs. You can think of them as tokens that give you access to jobs.

Each connect costs $0.15 USD, and you can purchase them in bundles of 10, 20, or 40. The more connects you purchase at once, the cheaper each connect is.

To buy connects, log into your account and click the “Get more connects” link on the right side of the screen, just above your profile picture. On the next page, select how many connects you’d like to buy and click “Continue.”

You’ll be taken to a page where you can review your purchase and enter your payment information. Once you’ve entered all the necessary information and clicked “Submit,” your purchase will be processed and the connects will be added to your account balance.

Now that you know how to buy connects, you’re one step closer to landing your first job on UpWork!

PRO TIP: If you are considering purchasing Connects on Upwork, please be aware that there are a few things you should know before doing so. First and foremost, Connects are not refundable, so please be sure that you really need them before making your purchase. Additionally, Connects expire after 6 months, so if you don’t use them all within that time frame, you’ll lose them. Finally, be aware that purchasing Connects does not guarantee that you will get work – it simply gives you the opportunity to submit proposals for jobs. With all of this in mind, if you still feel that purchasing Connects is the right decision for you, then please proceed with caution and be sure to read all of the terms and conditions before making your purchase.
