We know that your work life is multidimensional — that’s why you can use our marketplace as a freelancer, an agency, and a client. You will use the same account to log in to Upwork but will have separate user profiles. You will be able to easily switch between them as needed.
If you're a freelancer or agency manager now, but would like to set up a client account so you can hire others:
- Go to Account settings (desktop) or Settings (mobile app) > Contact info and scroll down to Additional accounts
- Choose New Client Account
- Once set up, use the account menu in your profile picture at the top-right of your screen to switch between using Upwork as a client, freelancer, or agency.
If you're a client now, but would like to do work as a freelancer or agency:
- Go to Account settings (desktop) or Settings (mobile app) > My info
- Select the Create New Account link
- Choose New Freelancer Account
- Once set up, use the account menu in your profile picture at the top-right of your screen to switch between using Upwork as a client, freelancer, or agency
