You can use Connects to let clients know you’re ready to work in several ways. You can:

  • Submit a proposal to a specific job post.
    • The number of Connects you’ll need varies per job and can change during the time the job is posted. We consider a range of factors, including project size, scope, and market demand. We’ll show you the number of Connects needed in the job post.
    • For some jobs, you won’t need any Connects, such as when a client invites you, sends you an offer, or purchases your Project Catalog project
  • Boost your proposal to put it at the top of the client’s list and let clients know you’re serious about their project. You choose the number of extra Connects to bid, but the winning amount will vary because you’re bidding against other freelancers
  • Turn on your availability badge to let clients know that you’re available for work right now. The weekly number of Connects needed for the badge varies based on demand. You control the amount by setting the maximum Connects that you’re willing to use per week
