How can I change my profile from freelancer to client?

[#1]

Hey,

I just signed up on Upwork for a client account. How can I change my default freelancer account with a client account? 

Should I delete the new account a start again?

Thank you!

Hi Farahim, 

I'll share your account information with the team so that they can assist you in creating a Company. Is this for an agency or a client company?

I also cant create an account to hire a freelancer. Could you please look into this for my account. Surely this is common problem why cant you fix  it and make it easy to simply add the feature. I spent an hour going through the forums and you Community Bots. I almost thought of deleting the account and try other providers.

Hi Vincent, 

I checked your account and you should be able to go to My Teams (Settings > My Teams), to create a new account. 

Let me know if you have other questions, or need further assistance with this.

Dear Upwork. Please... fix this layout. Why... why is it under "My Teams?" makes no sense. Took me a while to find it. Actually had to search forums before I could find it.

Hi there, 

I tried this method (among others) and it told me I didn't have access to do that. Is there a true solution?

Hi Elisabeth,

I checked and it looks like you were able to start the process of creating your client account.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance and I'll be happy to help.

Thanks!

Hi Blake,

The only option available is for you to manually switch from your freelancer profile to your client profile by clicking on your profile picture.

The link you gave doesn't work. It opens the page and then transfers to the main page. Moreover, I attached the screen how my menu looks like. How can I become the client? Why is it so complicated?

Hi, I completed an hourly Job on Monday 10th/01/2021, the contract has ended and my client gave his feedback but Job is yet to reflect on my Profile page and my reports. Please help me solve the issues.

Hi Ojo,

Please keep in mind that in order for a contract to be listed on your profile funds needs to be exchanged. When you're working on hourly contracts your clients are billed every Monday for the hours worked in the previous week.
Once your client is billed, the contract will be listed on your profile as well.
The funds from your contract are currently under the Work in Progress stage. To view more details about this, go to Reports > Overview. Thank you.
