In its pursuit to empower users, Facebook introduces FB Pro, a professional mode tailored to help individuals generate income through the social media giant.
"When you activate professional mode, you can build a public presence as a creator while maintaining personal experiences with friends and family," Facebook states on its official page, as quoted on Thursday (January 18, 2024).
"Professional mode can assist you in building a public following and expanding a global community," adds the Meta-owned subsidiary.
Users gain access to a suite of tools, enhanced security features, and products for monetization. However, Facebook provides specific criteria for users eligible for monetization.
Upon activating this mode, users will notice several changes. For instance, the "Who can follow me" setting will be changed to Public.
With this setting, anyone can follow and view the content on their feed. Facebook also does not limit the number of followers or subscribers in this mode.
Furthermore, profiles will default to "Digital Creator" category. Users can modify their profile category by navigating to Edit Profile > Details, then click Edit and select the desired category.
Moreover, users who activate this mode gain access to a professional dashboard. This dashboard encompasses tools, information about followers, reach, and engagement metrics for posts.
How to Activate FB Pro:
Open your Facebook profile.
Tap on the three-dot icon.
Click on the "Turn on Professional mode" option.
Click "Turn on," which will activate professional mode on Facebook.
You will be prompted to fill in some personal information.
By following these steps, users can unlock the potential of Facebook Pro, harnessing its features to build their brand, engage with their audience, and ultimately, monetize their presence on the platform.
