B2B marketers typically target corporate emails, which are transient. LinkedIn newsletters are often sent to a user's personal, long-term email address associated with their account. This provides a durable and direct line of communication to a highly-guarded inbox that is difficult to access through other means.

The conventional wisdom is to move followers off social to an owned email list. However, the reverse is also powerful. Drive engagement and grow your social following by embedding links to your best social posts directly within your newsletters and promotional emails.

Unlike standard posts that are subject to algorithmic reach, a LinkedIn newsletter sends an email directly to every subscriber's inbox. This provides a powerful, free distribution channel with nearly 100% deliverability, allowing marketers to guarantee their content is seen by their most engaged followers on the platform.

When launching a LinkedIn newsletter, the platform notifies all your followers. The best tactic is to wait for this initial wave of subscribers to join *before* sending your first issue. Publishing too quickly means most of your new audience will miss the inaugural email, wasting the launch's momentum.

The easiest way to increase your visibility is to consistently comment on other people's content. To make this effective, be strategic: comment on posts by industry leaders where your target audience will see your name, photo, and headline in a relevant context.

Position your email list as the central hub of your marketing, not just another channel. The primary goal of all other efforts—social media, podcasts, blogs—should be to grow and serve this core, owned asset. This creates a sustainable, defensible marketing ecosystem.

Instead of a direct "just following up" message, tag your prospect in a relevant industry post on LinkedIn. This provides value, gives them visibility, and serves as a subtle reminder, positioning you as a helpful resource rather than a persistent seller.

LinkedIn suppresses posts with external links. To drive traffic, create a text-only post and direct readers to your profile's 'Featured' section. There, you can place a clickable, visual link to your webinar, website, or product without penalty.

Reverse the traditional marketing funnel. By linking from newsletters directly to a relevant social media post, brands can leverage their highly-engaged email audience to boost post performance and grow their social following simultaneously.
