Hi Melanie,

 

You can be a client and a freelancer using the same account.  To create Client account on your existing account, please go to your account settings and select My Teams tab on the left. Once you do, please select Create New Account button and you should be able to add a client account to your existing account. You'll then be able to easily switch between the two accounts under the same login and hire freelancers. Check out this help article for more information.

 

Please check out this thread and this helpful resources to give you an idea on how to get started as a Client. Please choose the closest category in posting the project you wish to post. Define your project with details like goals, deliverables, deadlines, and budget so freelancers can submit competitive proposals. You can also search for qualified freelancers and invite them to submit proposals.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi Nichola,

 

Based on the timestamps on your posts, Bojan posted his reply within 40 seconds of you posting yours. I don't think he meant to imply that you didn't share a complete answer to the Melanie's question. You just posted your replies almost simultaneously. Also, I hope the links he shared in his reply would be helpful for Melanie and other new clients who may come across this thread.
