LinkedIn clocks in 930 million members from across the globe, and has emerged to be one of the favorites for creators.

With the addition of multiple creator tools, LinkedIn is acknowledging this meteoric rise of professional content creation.

You may have heard many people say that it’s a great platform to network, share knowledge, and get inspired. But for freelancers, LinkedIn is the holy grail for getting high-ticket conversions and benchmarking their skills to fellow freelancers.

In the graph of my professional growth as a full-time writer, LinkedIn has always given me a much-needed boost.
