“What the?!”

Yesterday I managed to get over 1,000 newsletter subscribers in five hours.

Where you might ask?

LinkedIn, friends.

If you’re over there scratching your head wondering why you’ve never heard of the enormous reach on LinkedIn, stay tuned.

I’m about to take you through LinkedIn’s newsletter feature, what it means for long-form writers, and the crazy statistics I saw.

LinkedIn’s Newsletter Feature Gives Crazy Reach

Here’s how many views my first newsletter got in five hours:

721 views, y’all.

When’s the last time you got 700 views on an article in five hours?

It doesn’t happen often, right?

Yesterday a newbie did it with his first LinkedIn newsletter.
