LinkedIn Newsletter Best Practices and Setup Guide

A LinkedIn newsletter is a fantastic way to improve both content reach and engagement. If you have content and an active LinkedIn profile, you have a great opportunity to better promote that content. All you need to do is create and send it as a LinkedIn newsletter.
LinkedIn does everything for you. They’ll promote it, send it and show you the results.
This quick video is a guide for setting up your first LinkedIn newsletter. It shows (in high-speed) Andy Crestodina from Orbit Media actually creating one of his own, the popular Digital Marketing Tips newsletter, so you can see every step in the process.
These best practices are included in this video tutorial:
🔹 Choosing a name for your LinkedIn newsletter (we recommend something simple and descriptive)
🔹 Adding your content to LinkedIn using the LinkedIn editor, including the text, headers, images, video and mentions
🔹 Writing the social post/email body copy
🔹 Adding calls to action and campaign tracking code
🔹 Using AI to help write the social media post
🔹 Publishing and measurement
Probably, two of the most important tips in this video are choosing the name and paying close attention to the text at the top of the article, because that becomes the preheader text when the article gets sent as an email.
Also, this includes a fun tip for using ChatGPT to help write the LinkedIn social media post (which also becomes the email body copy when LinkedIn sends the email)

Your video is great, but for those of us who are learning, it would be easier if you slowed down just a bit. Thanks for the video.

This is a great video. Quick question - I saw you created a unique link for tracking at 2:31. I was wondering how/where you track the data on that link?

[@williaminka7707]

Since its with utm-parameters, its most likely tracked in Google Analytics.

great video and advice does publishing the newsletter (not the first edition) makes it visible to the followers, even if there is no edition yet?

Does anyone know if we can create more than 1 newsletter? Like the first newsletter page is for Mental Health so all the articles were about that, then another about Leadership. is it possible? thank you

[@mackmeyer9046]

Is it better to host the newsletter feature on linked in on your personal page or business page? Are there pros and cons to both?

Thank you so much for the tips. I'm not sure if the hum or white noise in the background is intentional, but it takes effort to ignore it and just focus on the message.
