Bonus Tip: Get Trending Topics Straight To Your Email
— Get A Chance To Be Featured On LinkedIn News
In Sep 2021 LinkedIn decided to launch the LinkedIn Creators Accelerator Program in the USA.
It’s a 6-week incubator where LinkedIn pays creators to make content. It’s hard to get into this program, but there’s an alternative — Linkedin Creator Management Program.
Through this program, you can get LinkedIn trending topics straight from LinkedIn’s office! And you can also be featured on LinkedIn’s News Pages (and get thousands of eyes on your profile).
But how does one get into the Creator Management Program?
Step 1: Turn On Creators Mode RIGHT NOW
The Creator Mode Option
Go to your profile —> View your profile —> Scroll down to “Resources” —> Click on Creator Mode —> Turn on the Creator Mode
Didn’t get it? Use this guide
Step 2: Sign up for LinkedIn Creator Management Program
Fill out this form. Don’t forget to check the last two boxes in the form.
- *Notice: LinkedIn doesn’t accept everyone in the program. A good rule of thumb is: if you’ve not posted anything in the last week, don’t apply. Start posting content and gain some traction first. Interact with the community. Apply for the program after you’ve started creating content.
Sometimes LinkedIn Creator Managers will approach YOU to become part of the Creator Management Program. This usually happens after you’ve had a viral post (that’s how it happened to me)
What will you get inside the Creator Management Program?
Here’s everything
— An email every week telling you about the week’s trending topics.
— Inside it, a ‘Best Practice of the week’
— A bunch of trending & LinkedIn news topics
— Chance to be featured on the LinkedIn news page
— And you will also get invited to LinkedIn’s Creator Days! (an invite-only event)
If you got value from this article, please share it with your LinkedIn friends because when you only grow when you help others grow.
