Why Can’t I Submit a Proposal in UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:24 am

There are a few reasons why you may not be able to submit a proposal in UpWork. The first reason is that you may not have enough “connects” in your account. You need at least one connect to submit a proposal.

If you’re a new freelancer, you get two free connects when you sign up. You can also earn more connects by completing your profile, getting client reviews, and winning contests.

The second reason why you may not be able to submit a proposal is that the client has already selected a freelancer for the job. The client may have found a freelancer through UpWork’s search feature or by browsing through profiles. If a client has already selected a freelancer, they will not be able to receive any more proposals.

PRO TIP: If you’re having trouble submitting a proposal in Upwork, it may be because you’re not meeting the minimum requirements. Make sure you have a strong profile and portfolio, and that your proposal is well-written and tailored to the job posting. If you’re still having trouble, reach out to customer support for help.

The third reason why you may not be able to submit a proposal is that the job has been filled. If the job has been filled, the client will not be able to receive any more proposals.

If you’re having trouble submitting a proposal on UpWork, there are a few things you can check:

  • Make sure you have enough connects in your account
  • Check to see if the client has already selected a freelancer
  • See if the job has already been filled

There can be several reasons as to why someone may not be able to submit a proposal on UpWork. It could be due to not having enough connects, the client already choosing someone for the job, or because the job has already been filled.
