LinkedIn features a “Creator Mode” designed for professionals who want to grow a following by sharing content on the professional social network. When a user turns on “Creator Mode” on their LinkedIn profile, they’ll receive access to exclusive features, such as the ability to add hashtags below their headline that will tell other users more about them.
Our guide will show you how to turn on Creator Mode while using the LinkedIn mobile application.
