Answer 2

give

Answer 3

Yes, it does. I get 10 connections for each bid where the customer answered. Plus, for the proposed contract, something is also charged. At the end of the month, if there are active contracts (that is, activity in the profile), connections also come. I'm not 100% sure here, because maybe it came for something else, xs. I think if you do not have activity in your profile, then it is easier to buy a certain amount and then respond to relevant offers. If there are interviews and contracts, then connections will be added ...
In general, I have an interesting subject .... I registered on Upwork in 2015 or 2016 .... but I didn’t work and didn’t pass the test .... I applied for projects once or 3 times, there were no answers and scored. I started working actively only in 2021. And for 2021, I have accumulated 150 connections there - where and why - xs. Well, I haven’t used them until now, because, again, they come again for successful projects and feedback, and I just don’t need so many of them ... I don’t know how relevant it is now, of course.
