What Is Facebook professional mode?

Once you turn on professional mode for your profile, anyone can follow you and see your public content in their feed, but you'll still be in control of who sees what content you share. That means you can share public updates, or decide to share content with just your friends, too.

As you read down this post, you will see how to activate Facebook professional mode.

Meanwhile let's see the difference between this professional mode and personal account.

What's the difference between personal account and professional account on Facebook ?

Your Personal account is meant to keep up with friends and family on a daily basis. This is the place to share personal photos and status updates with people who are close to you. You can also use your personal account to directly message friends or comment on the activity they share on their personal page. You are limited to just maximum of five thousand (5000) friends.

On the other hands, when you activate professional account, you should expect the following:

Followers: Your Who can follow me setting will be set to Public, if it isn't already. This will allow anyone on Facebook to follow you and see your public content in their Feed. There's no limit to how many followers you can have. You can still share private updates to friends.

Profile category: Your Intro section helps people learn more about your profile and will now include a profile category. All profiles are set to the category Digital creator by default upon turning on professional mode

To change your profile category: In your About section, select Contact and basic info and edit your Category.

Insights: You can learn about your audience and understand how people are engaging with your content through aggregated Insights.

Professional dashboard: Manage your profile's insights and professional tools.

Monetise: If eligible, you can use your profile to earn money on Facebook, such as with Reels.
