LinkedIn Creator Mode is a profile setting designed for those looking to build influence and share expertise on the platform. Activating it does more than just update your profile’s layout – it changes the “Connect” button to “Follow,” making it easier for users to engage with your content without requiring a connection. LinkedIn may even feature you as a suggested creator, giving you extra visibility.
There are tons of benefits to turning on LinkedIn Creator Mode, with one of the favorite ones being the ability to move the Featured section to the top of your profile, letting you showcase posts, articles, and multimedia you’re most proud of. With Creator Mode, you also unlock tools like LinkedIn Live and Newsletters (if eligible), which allow you to engage with your audience in more meaningful ways. Essentially, Creator Mode is all about enhancing your presence and reach.
It’s easy! Head to your profile, scroll down to the Resources section, and tap “Creator Mode.” Follow the prompts, and you’re set. From there, start curating your Featured section with content that represents you best – whether it’s a standout post, a video, or a recent article.
If you’re focused on thought leadership, building an audience, or driving more engagement with your content, Creator Mode is definitely worth considering. It’s a straightforward way to make sure your work gets noticed and helps build a community around your expertise.
