Changing Your Upwork Account from Freelancer to Client

Overview

Changing your account from a Freelancer type to a Client type on Upwork is a simple process. You are not actually changing your existing account, but rather adding a new account type within the same login credentials. Here, I’ll provide you step-by-step how to do this:

Steps to Change your Upwork Account to a Client Account

1. Log into your Upwork account

Start by logging in to your account with your current login credentials.

2. Go to settings

Move your cursor to the profile icon on the top right side of your home dashboard. Click on it and then select ‘Settings’ from the dropdown menu.

3. Adding a Client Account

In the settings page, visit the ‘My Teams’ tab to find ‘Create a Company’ option. Click ‘Create a new account’ at the bottom of the panel and select ‘New Client Account’.

4. Enter the Required Information

After this, you need to provide details about your business or yourself, depending on what kind of client you will be. Fill out the forms following the on-screen prompts.

5. Confirmation

Once you’ve filled in all information, confirm your setup. Now, you will be able to switch between the client and freelancer view from your account settings.

Points to remember

–

You can switch between client and freelancer accounts easily

Whenever you log in, you can choose whether to view Upwork as a client or a freelancer by toggling from one account to another.

–

Jobs are different for client and freelancer accounts

Remember that the Job feed will be different for each account. As a freelancer, you’ll see jobs you can apply for, while as a client, you’ll be posting jobs and searching for freelancers.

I hope this helps! Happy freelancing!
