Yeah, they can still work if the topic is useful and specific, but growth is slower now and you need consistent posts to bring in subscribers.

but for those who already have their ideal audience on linkedIn, i do not think they are bad to try. i doubt they will generate lots of traffic solelly based on creating a newsletter but regular posts which lead to valuable newsletter content can certainly get some quality subscribers. for me, the topic nd consistency are what matter here.

Yeah I think they’re still worth it, especially for B2B and niche topics where you can build an audience around a specific subject. The traffic probably isnt as strong as it was during the hype, but a good newsletter can still bring repeat readers and potential leads.

Yeah, they still work, especially if you have a specific niche and keep publishing consistently. LinkedIn still sends newsletter notifications and tracks subscribers/views. I would just treat it as a visibility channel, not your only traffic source.

Still worth it if you already have an active audience
The subscriber count can look impressive because of the initial invites but I'd watch actual article views and clicks to your site after the first few issues

I would start with email lists instead of using the news letter to extend your reach.
LinkedIn can get uhh those subscribers but the real value comes from making those readers leave that platform.

well i believe that they can be a great idea to impllement, especially if u already have some contacts on linkedIn. a newsletter is something that would make people return to ur content nd not hope for the post to reach people’s eyes in the feed. i would concentrate more on the number of repllies nd visits.

I will focuses on whether the readers return after reading the fst issue rather than the number of subscribers. Linkedin can market the publication quite well, but if each issue is a repackaged feed post readers lose interest very quickly.

Sure, definitely just for the notifications you get when you launch for free. Organic reach doesnt work past issue 2 to 3 so make sure u email that off site as soon as poss before they throttle you in the app.

Yes bro LinkedIn newsletters are still worth it if you provide valuable content consistently. Even a small engaged audience can bring quality traffic and leads.

still worth trying if you have clear topic that people care about.getting subscribers take time though so regular posts help bring new readers to the newsletter.

Yes they are very useful for bringing in subscribers especially if you are considered an audience in your niche.
In fact, they are quite effective if you have something you need to communicate yet the subscriber count may be a little misleading. I would track the click-through rate nd recurring visitors nd then move those that are truly interested into your e-mail subscription list.
