Hi, I have had a client account for a few years but am trying to create a freelancer account. I click on Become a Freelancer link in My Info settings but nothing happens. Am I able to become a freelancer? Thank you for your help.

Hi Helen,
Thanks for following up. I checked and was able to use the link from your account. Can you please navigate to Settings > select Create a new account > + New Freelancer Account > use the "Become a Freelancer" button and let us know if you're having any issue with following any of these steps or are not being able to proceed with creating a Freelancer profile?

The same thing is happening to me.
Can't click the "become a freelancer link" in Chrome or Edge.

Hi Peter,
Did you followed the same steps Vladimir has listed?
Once you click on Settings please don`t select any other section, go to the bottom and use the button Create a new account. If you`re still experiencing problems with this on your end let me know.

Hi, I have tried again with Safari, Chrome, Edge and IE, with an ipad, 2 laptops and a desktop. When I click on 'Become a Freelancer' nothing happens. Thank you for your help. Helen

I am having this exact same issue. I currently have a client account but want to also add a freelancer. I followed the same steps to create a new freelancer account but the "Become a Freelancer" green button does nothing when clicked.
I am using Chrome on an iMac.

Hi Scott, Can you please try using Internet Exploler and see if it will work. Thanks.

Hi Jo-An
I am on an iMac. I don't see any options for downloading Internet Explorer.
I have tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome. Still unable to create a Freelancer account.

Ok, I just hopped on a PC with Windows 10 using Explorer, Edge, Firefox and Chrome browsers and I'm having the same issues - the green "Become a Freelancer" button is not working.
Jo-An, is there another way I can create this Freelancer account within my Client account?
Mar 11, 2018 12:52:10 PM by Jo-An B
Hi Scott, Yes, you can be both a freelancer and a client on Upwork! You'll use the same account to log in to Upwork, but the two parts of your account will be kept entirely separate. If you're a client now, but would like to do work as a freelancer: Click the Accounts menu, choose Settings, and then click My Info. Click the Create a New Account link at the bottom and select New Freelancer Account.
Once set up, use the Accounts menu at the top-right of your screen to switch between using Upwork as a client or freelancer.

Hi Jo-An
Yes, I tried those exact steps but the "Become a Freelancer" button is not working. I am currently logged into my Client Account and have verified all my info.
I have tried on a PC and Mac with Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, etc., and cannot create the freelancer account.
I am not sure what is wrong? Can you check my account?
