In more detail
Newsletters live where your audience already checks daily: their inbox. Unlike a social post that the algorithm may or may not show, a newsletter goes straight to people who chose to hear from you, which is why open and click rates matter more than follower counts. Platforms like LinkedIn, Substack, and Beehiiv have turned newsletters into a social format too, with subscribe buttons, comments, and shares built in. A good newsletter has a consistent cadence (weekly, biweekly, monthly), a recognizable voice, and one clear reason to open it every time.
Example
A weekly LinkedIn newsletter goes out every Tuesday to 2,000 subscribers. If 700 open it, that is a 35 percent open rate, well above the typical 20 to 30 percent range for most lists. The format works because subscribers opted in, so they actually want what lands.
