Why do freelancers need Connects on Upwork?
Connects are virtual tokens used to submit proposals, and the number required varies by job. Extra Connects have been sold for $0.15 each, although Upwork sometimes awards free Connects through promotions or qualifying activity.
How does Upwork payment protection work?
Hourly protection depends on logging eligible time with the Upwork app and supplying meaningful activity and work memos. Fixed-price protection depends on working against a milestone that the client funded in escrow before the freelancer began.
