NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / May 5, 2025 / The professional creator economy on LinkedIn is undergoing a quiet revolution, where content, commerce, and career-building collide. With over 64,000 U.S.-based LinkedIn creators analyzed, it's clear that what was once a platform for résumés and corporate news has transformed into a dynamic ecosystem of thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and B2B influencers.
LinkedIn Influencer Guide by The Influencer Marketing Factory
To spotlight this growing momentum, The Influencer Marketing Factory published The Ultimate LinkedIn Influencer Guide - a data-driven look at trends, challenges, and opportunities on the world's largest professional network. The analysis draws from:

A deep dive into 9.5K creators with over 3K followers
195 promotional posts and 13K comments analyzed for sentiment
