How to create an account on Upwork
0:02
So if you want to quickly go ahead and create an account on Upwork in the easiest way, here's what you're going to do
0:06
You're going to come over to Upwork.com and here you're going to click on sign up
0:10
And once you click on sign up here, it's going to say join as a client or freelancer. So you have two options
0:16
I'm a client hiring for a project or I'm a freelancer. I'm going to go with the freelancer option right now
0:21
And once you do that, you're first of all going to add, you know, your name and everything
0:25
then they're going to ask you for your email. So I'm simply going to go ahead and add that
0:31
Then you have your password. So once you've gone ahead and entered your password, enter your country, agree to their
0:38
terms, click on create my account. Now once you do all this, it might ask you for some verifications like your phone number
0:45
or maybe your email verified, et cetera. But if it doesn't, it's going to take you straight to the onboarding
0:52
But as you can see, for me, it went ahead and asked me to verify and confirm my email
1:00
So just quickly going to go ahead and do that for myself
1:04
And once that is done, they're simply going to go ahead into the main workings
1:09
So as you can see here, we have the email verification. And once we're verified, that's basically going to create our Upwork account
1:17
And now you're just going to go ahead and create your profile
1:21
So whatever questions they ask, go ahead and scour through them. Make sure to choose the right answers for them
1:28
And the reason for that is it's just much better to optimize things for yourself
1:37
So once this is done, they're going to ask you to upload a PDF from your LinkedIn or
1:44
from your profile on LinkedIn. So what you're going to do is you're going to go to your profile and download everything
1:50
as a PDF. So then you're going to add your professionalism, you know, your line of work, and you have experiences
1:58
Again, make sure to go ahead and add these things. Don't skip these things are pretty necessary
2:04
And then you have all this. Simply go ahead on next and it asks us for our skills
2:11
So you know, minimum five, you're going to add that and then you're going to go on next
2:16
And then it's obviously going to ask you to write a description regarding yourself
2:21
It has to be at least 100 words, but it could go up to like 5100 characters
2:26
So you're good to go in that case. Then once you're done with that, you're going to, you know, add your pricings and everything
2:36
And then you're going to add your photo and location. And this will basically be the final count of, you know, creating your account
2:44
So, you know, just add the address that you have, enter your city
2:49
And once you do that, it's going to ask you to enter your phone number, which is also
2:55
pretty compulsory. So once you've added that, simply click on review your profile and do make sure that
3:03
the profile picture you add goes with their guidelines, like make sure that it's profile
3:08
picture of your face, you know, it has to be an actual photo of you
3:12
And then once you do that, you're going to review your profile, submit it
3:16
And that's basically about it. That is how you create an account in Upwork
3:20
Thank you for watching and I'll see all of you next time. Goodbye
