01 · The setup

Where to find it

Go to the home page on LinkedIn and scroll down on the left-hand side. You'll see something called Newsletters.

Click on that, then click the button to create a newsletter. (Mine's called LinkedIn Secrets.)

Give it a title, give it a description, upload an image + choose how often you want to publish. Then click Done and LinkedIn creates your brand new newsletter.

The 2 bits worth getting right
  • A visual image
  • Text on the image
  • A frequency you'll actually stick to
  • Weekly, if you won't post every week
02 · The details

Image + frequency

The image. Uploading one is pretty helpful, so make it as visual as possible. I wouldn't bother with text on it, because it's shown alongside your title anyway.

The frequency. This bit doesn't really matter, you can put whatever you want. What I would say is don't commit to weekly if you're not going to post every single week.

03 · Why bother

Built-in attention

As soon as you create it, LinkedIn invites all your connections to subscribe to it automatically.

And even better than that, every time you publish a new edition, all your subscribers get hit with a notification.

So you can drive even more attention to your content.
