how to simply message

[442a3dcb]

Hi guys,I found a profile of a freelancer online in upwork and wanted to discuss a project with him.So I created a free account and tried to contact him, but it seems there is no option to send a simple message. this is pretty much useless, if I cannot check with a freelancer before being requred to post a job.please share how to send messages to profiles on upwork

and sorry to bother you in a community - would expect there is a support team to take care of this, but any try to contact support routed me into the forum.

thanks anyway

It is very easy to contact a freelancer.

All you need to do is create a simple, free job post that describes something you need help with, or a question that you have, and send the job as a private invite to the freelancer.
