How do I change from freelancer to client in UpWork?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:40 pm

As a freelancer, you may have been using UpWork to find clients and get work done. But what if you want to switch to becoming a client? Here are some tips to help make the transition:

1. Do your research.

Before you switch to being a client, it’s important to do your research and understand the process. This includes learning about UpWork’s pricing structure, how to create a proposal and how to negotiate a contract.

2. Make a plan.

Once you have a good understanding of the process, make a plan. This includes knowing what you want to achieve and when you want to achieve it.

PRO TIP: If you are a freelancer on Upwork, be aware that changing your status to “client” can have some unintended consequences. First, all of your current contracts will be terminated. This means that any unfinished work will need to be completed by another freelancer. Second, you will no longer have access to the Upwork freelancer community forums or job boards. Finally, your account may be subject to a review by Upwork staff.

This will help you stay on track and make sure you’re getting the most out of your experience on UpWork.

3. Be patient.

One of the biggest challenges when transitioning to being a client is patience. It can take some time to find a good match, negotiate a contract and get work done.

Be patient and keep an open mind, and you’ll be successful in making the transition.
