LinkedIn has taken a significant step in improving its newsletter platform by introducing email-specific analytics. This update provides newsletter publishers with valuable insights into how their content performs through email notifications.
Key Updates Newsletter Email Analytics
- Email Sends:
- LinkedIn now tracks the number of subscribers who receive email notifications when a new newsletter article is published.
- Email Open Rates:
- Publishers can now see the percentage of subscribers who open those email notifications.
These new metrics complement LinkedIn’s existing newsletter analytics, offering a more comprehensive view of audience engagement. While LinkedIn has noted that these numbers are estimates, they still provide a much needed insight for creators.
Why This Matters:
- Improved Performance Tracking:
- Creators can now better understand how their newsletters are performing via email, allowing them to optimize their content and strategies.
- Enhanced Comparison:
- The addition of email metrics allows for better comparison with other newsletter platforms, providing a more accurate assessment of LinkedIn’s effectiveness.
- Increased Transparency:
- This update offers advertisers and sponsors greater transparency into whether their branded content is reaching its intended audience.
Challenges and Future Considerations:
While this update is a positive step, some limitations remain. Notably, LinkedIn does not provide publishers with access to subscriber email addresses, which restricts their ability to manage subscriber relationships outside of the platform. There are also notes that the data provided is an estimate, so it may not be perfectly accurate.
