Frequently asked questions
How do I pay for ads?
Ads are paid with Connects, a virtual token on Upwork that can be purchased in bundles or a custom amount of your choice. Each Connect costs $0.15 (USD). Freelancers use Connects to submit proposals and place a bid for ad products including Boosted Proposals, Boosted Profiles and Availability Badge.
Why do I need to use ads?
You get to decide when you want to use ads. Ads are not required to submit a proposal. We offer ads as an optional way to get more visibility, win work you want most, and optimize your workflow to grow your earnings on great projects.
How do I get started?
It’s easy to get started with low risk. Choose an ad product to help you achieve your goals. Then place a bid to participate in the auction. When you are an auction winner, you stand to benefit by creating awareness among clients, increasing client engagement and winning work you want most.
