Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:44 pm

If you’re looking to hire a freelancer, one of the first places you’ll probably look is UpWork. It’s a great platform with a lot of talented workers, but it can be a little confusing to use at first.

One of the things you might be wondering is whether or not you can message a freelancer directly on UpWork. The answer is yes, but there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, when you message someone on UpWork, they will get an email notification about it. So if they’re not currently working on UpWork, they may not see your message right away.

PRO TIP: If you are considering messaging a freelancer on Upwork, be aware that this is considered a violation of Upwork’s terms of service. If you are caught messaging a freelancer on Upwork, your account may be suspended or even permanently banned.

Second, when you message someone on UpWork, your message will go into their “My Jobs” inbox. This is different from the general inbox where all of the messages from all of the clients are stored. So if they’re working on a lot of projects at once, your message may get lost in the shuffle.

Lastly, when you message someone on UpWork, remember that they are a professional and should be treated as such. Don’t try to haggle over price or ask for personal favors. Be polite and respectful, and you’ll likely get the same in return.

So can you message a freelancer on UpWork? Yes, but there are a few things to keep in mind before you do.
