Hi Alec, I am a software engineer with four years of experience, and after being laid off, I am considering starting a business on Upwork. I found your video incredibly helpful for beginners like me, and I wanted to express my gratitude. I believe that anyone struggling in the current job market should watch your video, as it could help them discover a new path forward.
it means that these jobs don't appear in search results. They are hidden and they are only visible to people who get invited to them. Many companies on upwork prefer to keep their jobs hidden like that.
Reaching 100% profile completeness does not give more free connects, the only ways to get free connects are to get a rising talent badge (my video on that comes out in a few days) or to win job interviews with established clients
wow you are right. Upwork removed free connects for new accounts until they pay to buy at least 100 connects or until they subscribe to freelancer plus. Thats annoying
I am new to upwork company and I have been registered on Data Analysis but my account under rview because I have no any connector ! How get a Job on Data Analysiss
what do you mean by account under review and what do you mean by no connector? If you say you have not received the 50 free connects, now you only get them after you pay upwork around 20$ to get connects or the premium membership. Has your account been created and approved or not? Im not sure what you mean by "account under review" be more specific and try to develop the habit of using grammarly sentence editing tools or chatgpt to revise your sentences. your english sentences are unclear and contain errors. Make sure every message you send is error-free and that texts on your account are also error free otherwise many clients will ignore your profile. Then spend 20 dollars to get connects, which will unlock your ability to apply to jobs and give you an extra 50 free connects on top of the amount you buy and apply to jobs.
Yeah, it changed name in the dropdown menu last month if I remember correctly. I dont remember the new navbar menu item name in the dropdown menu off the top of my head. But its one of the ones close to the bottom, if you try them all out you will easily find it i'm sure
Respected sir, how to get clients as a newly started web and app development agency without portfolio or project in hand just now recently started on upwork platform... we could not do. post full video how to get clients on upwork based on this situation.
yes absolutely, there are a lot of easy jobs on upwork with no skill or education requirements. I made a video recently I think its called 5 easy upwork jobs for beginners and students... or something like that. You should check it out 🙂
Yes you can get jobs by bidding on Upwork, but its like when you send a resume for a local job. they give you the job if they like you more than the other people who apply for that job. Upwork works almost exactly the same as getting normal jobs in your town. So getting jobs is easy and intuitive, and thats the best thing about it.
@AlecG Does the promo code cost money when it arrives? Which lot Connect Promo code will you get? I just joined but not able to connect. Free link not available. What should I do to get connected, I am in Sri Lanka. How will this money come to Sri Lanka? Will it come directly to the bank? PayPal srilanka account is not available to me, is there any alternative way?
Waiting for your new video about project catalog, on how to create step by step. Good luck
Watching here in the ph.

@@AlecGso this is illegal in Upwork?
@@entertainment_studios-c2g Illegal? What thing are you talking about?
@ Nothing I just want to know how I can get connects with clients becUse i have so much potential but I don’t have money and time please help me.
Thanks for producing this video, really gaining knowledge here.
3:38 plz can someone elaborate more what the meaning of that ?!

@AlecG thanks ♥️🌹
I created one from two days ago and they aren't give my any connects ? Why do you think?
My profile reached to 100 %
Reaching 100% profile completeness does not give more free connects, the only ways to get free connects are to get a rising talent badge (my video on that comes out in a few days) or to win job interviews with established clients
@@AlecG thanks bro
@@AlecG Hi Alec!! Is your video already out? I have the same question as Ahmed. Thank you both. 😊
@@esteladapper8892 Yes, here's a link to the video if you still want to check it out: ua-cam.com/video/4bFq4JIQuIQ/v-deo.html
This video is so helpful 🎉Thank you
yoo i tried to create a proj but its saying like Offers to create weapons or includes media of weapons harming people like idk wats wrong
thats strange. ive never seen that happen. I cant help you with that you need to contact upwork support
As of today, i need to pay connects to accept invites. So invites became just as useless. Oh, more connects are required than for a normal job, lol.
Wow! Youre right, they just updated that a few days ago. Nice 😩! The connects problem somehow managed to get even worse 🤨
They removed that "feature" now...Im SO glad.
My profile is not Showing this dashboard option :(
The project dashboard was relocated to proposals and offers.
seems helpfull, gonna try this!
This is very helpful for me! Thank you very much for your sharing!!
Glad it was helpful!
I dont have any connects 😢 ‘ did they remove the 10 free connects in 1 month?
wow you are right. Upwork removed free connects for new accounts until they pay to buy at least 100 connects or until they subscribe to freelancer plus. Thats annoying
Hi Alec. It seems that they removed the first option of creating a project.
im tired of all these updates they make seriously it feels like i need to remake all my tutorials every 2 months 😅 thanks for pointing that out though
Alec G. Why I don't have a 'project dashboard' under my 'find works' button?
I created my account days ago.
you need to click "Your Service"
@@mohammedmustafaali1049 thx
My "Find work" button does not have a project dashboard item
Because you have not created project catalog
do you log in to your account with a mobile phone?
you need to click "Your Service"
Just try to log as web and not app just check all domains there is source code of what you want

@@AlecGsame here I couldn't get any connects either I couldn't buy any of it because it askes promo code
keep the box that asks for a promo code empty
Looks like you have to be top rated or top rated plus? I am new and I don't see any ways to create a listing like this.
You dont need to be top rated, this account I used for the demonstration is a brand new account with zero reviews
I don't have that option. why?
My Project Dashboard
Yeah, it changed name in the dropdown menu last month if I remember correctly. I dont remember the new navbar menu item name in the dropdown menu off the top of my head. But its one of the ones close to the bottom, if you try them all out you will easily find it i'm sure
Hi! It is called "Your Services" now 🤝
@@KiseiAI Thank you!
@@AlecG My pleasure!
