Can You Have Two UpWork Accounts?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:49 pm

There are a number of reasons why you might want to have two UpWork accounts. Perhaps you’re a freelancer who wants to keep your personal and professional life separate.

Or maybe you have different skill sets that you want to market to different clients. Whatever the reason, it’s perfectly possible to have two UpWork accounts – as long as you follow a few simple rules.

First of all, you’ll need to use different email addresses for each account. You can’t have two accounts with the same email address, so this is a necessary step. You’ll also need to use different payment methods for each account – so if you’re using PayPal for one account, you’ll need to use a different method (like direct bank transfer) for the other.

PRO TIP: There are a few risks associated with having two Upwork accounts. First, your earnings may be divided between the two accounts, which could result in lower overall earnings. Additionally, if you’re found to be violating Upwork’s Terms of Service by having two accounts, your accounts may be suspended or permanently banned. Therefore, we recommend only having one Upwork account.

Once you’ve set up your two accounts, there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, don’t try to connect the two in any way – don’t share client lists, don’t post the same project twice, and so on.

You also need to be careful about how you market yourself on each account. If you’re too similar, potential clients might get confused and think you’re just trying to spam them.

With a little care and attention, it’s perfectly possible to have two successful UpWork accounts. Just make sure you keep them separate, and don’t try to cheat the system.

In conclusion, yes, you can have two UpWork accounts – as long as you use different email addresses and payment methods for each, and take care not to connect the two in any way.
