- If you don't give enough detail about the scope of the project, you may very well have freelancers refrain from submitting a proposal because they don't want to spend their Connects to submit a proposal only to find out that you are expecting far too much work for the rate you're willing to pay.
- Real example: Someone posted that they wanted a freelancer to create "Python multiple-choice questions", and that they were willing to pay "$100". I (as a freelancer) only had four connects remaining for the month, and so I said to myself, "I don't want to spend two of my last connects only to find out this guy wants 100 or 200 in-depth questions." Note that as of July 2019 Connects aren't limited per month anymore, but if a job requires 4 Connects to apply, freelancers may still not apply if they don't want to risk the $0.60 (4 times $0.15 per Connect).
