Can I Hire Myself in UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:30 am

The quick answer is “yes,” but there are a few things to keep in mind if you’re considering hiring yourself on UpWork.

First, while you can technically hire yourself, it’s important to remember that UpWork is a marketplace for freelancers. This means that, in most cases, it’s going to be more beneficial to find a client and build a relationship with them outside of the UpWork platform.

PRO TIP: No, you cannot hire yourself on Upwork. Any work you do for yourself violates our terms of service.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. If you’re already an established freelancer with a strong portfolio and good reviews, then you may be able to find clients on UpWork who are willing to pay your rates.

Similarly, if you’re looking for short-term or one-time projects, then UpWork can be a good option.

However, in general, it’s going to be more difficult to find long-term work on UpWork if you’re only bidding on projects as opposed to building relationships with clients. Therefore, if you’re just starting out as a freelancer, it’s probably not worth your time to hire yourself on UpWork.

In conclusion, while you can technically hire yourself on UpWork, it’s important to keep in mind that this marketplace is designed for freelancers looking to build relationships with clients. If you’re just starting out as a freelancer, it’s probably not worth your time to hire yourself on UpWork.
