If you enjoy posting on social media and seeing the engagement that comes with it, and have been doing such ever since you can remember, then you’re probably pretty adept at it by now. The big question is, could you actually make a living as a ’creator’ through partnerships with brands and various in-stream ad tools across different apps? To help answer this burning query, LinkedIn recently shared some new insights.

I Create, I Earn

As expected, since creators are currently in such high demand, LinkedIn just shared some new data that show how job postings for creators have almost tripled since 2021. According to LinkedIn:

“With social platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook leading the way, job opportunities in the creator economy are most abundant in the technology and information sectors, LinkedIn data shows. And that reflects a hiring wave that extends well beyond the on-camera stars that brighten our news feeds.”

Another growth element in this respect is administrative and support roles for creative talent, as more brands look to partner with these new and rising stars for and on their campaigns. To add, it’s not just in common trending areas where creators are getting attention:

“Earlier waves of creators (and their more strident cousins, known as “influencers”) tended to concentrate in flashy industries such as fashion, pop music, or luxury travel. But as this new chart from LinkedIn’s Economic Graph team shows, US economic sectors across the board are eager to put creators to work.”

This potentially opens up new opportunities for hopefuls to explore their passions and build a presence, which could ultimately be their key career paths. Using an infographic, here are the 10 industries listed by LinkedIn that are currently experiencing a surge in job postings for digital creatives:

  1. Technology and Information

  2. Advertising Services

  3. Staffing and Recruiting

  4. E-Learning Providers

  5. IT Services & Consulting

  6. Musical Groups and Artists

  7. Media and Telecommunications

  8. Retail Apparel and Fashion

  9. Computers and Electronics Manufacturing

  10. Food and Beverages Services

The Wrap

There are more details within LinkedIn’s full overview. Nevertheless, LinkedIn always manages to provide information and data that’s helpful on the user’s end because it allows them to plan accordingly and optimize their approach to maximize their gains.

Given the current post-pandemic transition that everybody’s currently undergoing, it’s expected that the interest in hybrid work models will continue to rise, causing a major shift in career options as more people seek to land jobs that they can do from the comfort of their own homes.
