The Professional Mode on Facebook Profiles gives you access to a bundle of professional tools, insights, and monetization products that can help you build your professional presence from your personal profile. Previously, these tools and features were available only on Pages.

Professional Mode was revealed at Meta‘s Creator Week 2022 in Los Angeles. It’s a new profile setting that enables creators all over the world to create a public presence while still maintaining their personal Facebook experience. Professional mode provides creators, as well as those who want to become creators, with a set of tools and opportunities to start building a global community from their personal profiles. Professional mode allows creators to earn money through Stars, ads on Facebook Reels, in-stream ads, and Reels Play. They will also have access to content and audience analytics, as well as educational resources.

Note: Professional Mode currently isn’t available to users under the age of 18 in the EU and UK.
