How to contact a potential freelancer to hire

[JoanneP]

Hi Taylor,

To hire a freelancer, you will need to have a client account. You can be a freelancer, agency, and a client on Upwork using 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. Since you already have a client account, please follow the steps below to create a client account:

1. Go to Settings › My Teams and choose the Create New Account button at the bottom.
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
