Can I Be Both Client and Freelancer on UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:26 am

There are a few different ways to answer this question. If you’re talking about being a client and freelancer on the same account, then technically yes, you can be both. However, we do not recommend doing this because it can be very confusing and difficult to manage.

PRO TIP: If you are both a client and freelancer on Upwork, be aware that you may have conflict of interest issues. For example, if you are a freelancer and you hire another freelancer to work on a project, you may end up competing with that freelancer for work.

If you’re talking about being a client and freelancer on two separate accounts, then the answer is also technically yes, but again, we do not recommend it. The main reason for this is because it can be difficult to keep track of both accounts and manage your time properly.

The best way to answer this question is to say that it is possible to be both a client and freelancer on UpWork, but we advise against it because it can be quite confusing and difficult to manage your time and work properly.
