Hi Noor,

 

Yes, you can post jobs and hire freelancers simply by opening a client profile under your current account. To do this go to Settings > Contact Info > Create a new account.
However, please keep in mind that outsourcing is not allowed. If you would like to work as a team or represent a company you will need to open an agency profile. Thank you.

Thanks Goran, 
But did not understand that you are saying... "However, please keep in mind that outsourcing is not allowed." After hire a person it's called "outsourcing". 

Upwork blocked my one account 8 month ago. that time I only posted a Job. so i'm worried.

Hello Goran,
What does exactly means by "outsourcing is not allowed"? does that mean you cannot repost a job which you got from upwork or does it mean you cannot post a job which you get from anywhere? means friedns, relatives or any other source ? what are the rules for freelancers to post a job (through their client account ofcourse )?

Hi Adnan,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. This means you cannot hire people to do jobs that you applied for as a freelancer. We suggest that you review Upwork ToS to keep your account safe.

Thank you Annie,
So, that means we can post our personal projects or projects we get from our family, friends and others outside of upwork?

Does anyone know the steps after you create a freelancer account. There's really no clear path to creating gig in the UI.

I found it, they're called "projects" and there's no direct link and all things related to projects are burried in the UI. It's called My Project Dashboard at the bottom of the menu full of Client links and it's an indirect link and takes you to a page that looks like a marketing page and not a dashboard. The "proposals" page is where people click on first because it's above it and is semantically similar.
