Should You Buy CONNECTS On Upwork? (and a hack to get more connects!)

[COURSE] How To Build a 5-Star Profile on Upwork: https://www.udemy.com/course/five-sta... [WHAT ARE UPWORK CONNECTS?] Connects are special tokens used on the platform – and you need to use them when submitting applications for jobs. They were only implemented a few years ago as an attempt to disencourage mass/spam applications (used to be very common). Now that you have to pay to apply for a job you’ll want to make sure you actually have a chance of getting hired, which means clients receive more qualified applications. Right now, Connects cost $0.15 each and are sold in bundles of 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80. [DO I REALLY NEED TO BUY CONNECTS?] Any freelancer who is serious about getting jobs on Upwork will need to buy Connects. If you have a basic freelancer account, you’ll receive 10 free Connects each month – so in theory you could apply for a few jobs without spending any money. But we need to remember that each application will cost you between 1 – 6 Connects, so if you’re only relying on the free ones you’ll soon run out. As someone who started a brand new account and became Top Rated in under 6 months, I strongly recommend you buy as many Connects as you need and keep sending applications until you’re getting hired consistently. It is money well spent. [SPECIAL HACK] If you have a Freelancer Plus subscription ($14.99/mo), you get 80 free Connects a month and a bunch of other perks – such as increased discoverability and the ability to see what other freelancers are bidding on a given job. I know some people might be put off by the idea of paying a monthly subscription (considering that they’re already paying Upwork’s service fees) – but the 80 free Connects you earn are worth $12 alone ($0.15 x 80), so you’re only actually paying $2.99 for all the other added benefits. I believe it’s well worth the investment. -- #freelancing #makemoney #upwork
