Freelancers: Stop Losing Clients to Your Gmail Address
You compete on skill — but clients hire based on trust. A branded inbox is the cheapest credibility upgrade you can make.
Part of the collection Business email, industry by industry
Solo consultants often delay business email until they "have more clients." The clients you want are filtering you out before the first call because your address looks like everyone else on Upwork.
Freelancer setup
- Use firstname@ or hello@ on a domain you own
- Separate client mail from personal Gmail
- Send proposals and contracts from the same domain as your portfolio site
- Add a lightweight API key later for automated onboarding emails
