Email is a critical part of our daily lives. We use it to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues. We rely on email to stay connected to the people and businesses we care about.
Because email is so important, we’re often hesitant to share our addresses. We don’t want to get spam or be inundated with messages from people we don’t know.
UpWork is a great platform for freelancers and businesses to connect and collaborate. But one of the challenges of UpWork is that it’s not always easy to share contact information.
There are a few ways to work around this, though. You can use UpWork’s messaging system to contact someone without sharing your email address. Or, you can create a new email address that you use only for UpWork.
If you decide to share your email address on UpWork, there are a few things you can do to protect yourself from spam:
- Use a dedicated email address: Don’t use your primary email address for UpWork. Create a new account that you only use for work-related communications.
- Be selective: Only share your email address with people you know and trust.
If someone seems sketchy, it’s probably best not to give them your contact information.
- Filter messages: Set up filters in your email program so that messages from UpWork go into a separate folder. That way, you can check them when you have time and aren’t getting interrupted by work-related emails all day.
Email is a vital part of our lives, and we should be careful about who we share it with. But if we take some precautions, sharing our email address on UpWork can be safe and beneficial.
