Yes, Nisha. You can create a freelancer account straight from your Client account. Please follow the steps outlined below to create a freelancer account: 

  1. Click the Settings, and then click My Info.
  2. Click the Create a New Account link at the bottom.
  3. Select New Freelancer Account.
  4. Once set up, use the Accounts menu at the top-right of your screen to switch between using Upwork as a client or freelancer.

it doesnt work. been trying. the select option new freelancer is blacken  and not able click. not working 

Hi Luvilyne,

 

To create a freelancer account, you need to go to Settings > My info, scroll to the bottom of the page, click 'Create New Account', and on the popup, select 'New Freelancer Account'. However, before doing this, you need to verify your email address.

 

Thank you.

Hi Avery.
I'm following your instructions to create a New Freelance Account for my current Client account.
Unfortunately, I've now an option "New Freelancer Account" after I selected "Create a New Account ", see screenshot below.

I didnt mean to create a client account I was trying to create a freelancer one. Do I have to create a second account or can't I just convert the client one into a freelancer one?

Hi Laurie,

 

You should be able to open a freelancer profile from the account you already have. You will need to go to Settings > My Info and select "Create New Account" at the bottom. After creating your freelancer profile, you can switch back to your Client profile and close it if you wish. You can check this article to learn more.
