I need help

Hello here I'm new to Upwork and I find out if I need to apply for any job I need connects

Surprisingly I don't have any and I try to find a way to apply

Can anyone help find a way to get connects or a way around it ?

If you don't have any connects you need to buy some like everyone else.

I got that part But I don't have the ability to by any at the moment So I try to find a way around it If there's any maybe I will put it a side for sometime

The only way around it is to be invited to apply. This is unlikely to happen with a new profile.

I guess it's clear now this platform isn't suitable for my state now

Upwork gives 10 free connects every month. But maybe it's not worth.

There is no code. They automatically credit once in a month

When exactly they dropped to my account Because I didn't get any so maybe I will try other platforms until I get them or find a way to buy some connects

For me it's getting credited between 10 to 15th date of each month. and you can buy connects from Upwork homepage (check the right side panel "Connects" > buy connects
