Buying a project catalog

[7f7628b3]

Hello, I was browsing project catalogue and I found one that adheres to my liking. When I clicked Proceed the box appears Company Name. Since I am unemployed and not working in any firm, how can I proceed the project if I am not working? Please advise.

Most probably you need a client account to buy services.

Hi Fatima,

I would be happy to help. To be able to purchase Project Catalog you need to have a client account as well. You can create a client account by following the steps below. 

1. Go to Settings > Contact Info and scroll down to Additional accounts.
2. Choose New Client Account.
3. Once set up, use the account menu at the top-right of your screen to switch between using Upwork as a client, freelancer, or agency.

You can find more information here. Let us know if you have further questions.

Thank you for the information. Since I not really a client, would not that be a problem for a freelancer?

Hi Fatima,

Project prices are set by the freelancers. If you have a budget in mind, it might be best to post a job instead and invite the freelancers offering the project you're interested in to apply so you can negotiate the project budget.
