As a freelancer, you are your own boss. You can set your own hours and work from anywhere in the world.

But what about communication with clients? Can you communicate with clients outside of UpWork?

The answer is yes! You can communicate with clients outside of UpWork, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, when you communicate with clients outside of UpWork, you are not covered by UpWork’s Protection Policies. This means that if something goes wrong, you will not be able to file a dispute or request a refund through UpWork.

Second, when you communicate with clients outside of UpWork, you will not have access to UpWork’s messaging system or project management tools. This means that you will need to find another way to communicate with your client and keep track of your project. Finally, when you communicate with clients outside of UpWork, you are responsible for setting your own rates and terms. Be sure to discuss these things with your client before starting work.

PRO TIP: If you communicate with clients outside of Upwork, we may not be able to protect your account if there are any issues with the work being performed.
