# Types of account

There is currently two types of Legitimate account. 

### Basic Account

A basic account gives you access to all of Legitimates features for browsing content, creating a personal feed, bookmarking articles and following creators and tags.

### Journalist / Creator Account

If you would like to submit your content to Legitimate you will need to upgrade your basic account to a Creator account. This involves verifying your identity which is explained in more detail in the next section. 

A Creator account will give you all the benefits of a Basic account and will also allow you to:

* Add content
* Create your profile page/portfolio
* Grow an Audience
* Be found in search results for articles and people
