Surely you know LinkedIn, one of the most famous professional and business social networks in the entire network, which currently has more than 800 million users worldwide. But did you know that it also offers you the possibility of creating your own newsletter? We'll tell you all about it!
LinkedIn connects professionals from around the world on a single platform. On this platform, users connect, create content in various formats, share and discuss, and, most interestingly, expand their network through public and private groups. Additionally, LinkedIn allows you to create your own newsletter to send specialized content to your subscribers. How? We'll show you below.
What are LinkedIn newsletters?
They are newsletters that are published periodically on this social network, featuring a series of articles that focus on a specific topic. Their operation is practically identical to any other newsletter you might subscribe to on other internet portals. All LinkedIn users, whether with a personal or business account, can create their own newsletter to share with their followers or subscribe to those they like.
This content creation format helps you to:
-

Build a bond with your audience: Newsletters offer you the opportunity to stay in touch with your followers and tailor them to their preferences or needs. This will help you build a closer relationship with them.
