LinkedIn newsletter management: what it costs

Key takeaways

LinkedIn newsletter management typically costs an indicative £225–£600 an edition in the UK (3 to 6 hours at £75–£100 an hour), or £450–£1,200 a month for two editions. It suits B2B firms and founders with genuine expertise to share. It is separate from LinkedIn post ghostwriting and from email newsletters you own.

• £225–£600 an edition, indicative.
• Two editions a month: £450–£1,200.
• Subscribers are notified when you publish.
• You do not own the list, unlike email.

What is a LinkedIn newsletter?

A LinkedIn newsletter is a series of long-form articles published from a personal profile or company page, which members can subscribe to. Subscribers get a notification when each edition goes out. It sits between short posts and an email newsletter: longer and more considered, but still inside LinkedIn.

Is a LinkedIn newsletter better than email?

It is easier to grow, because LinkedIn invites your connections to subscribe. But you do not own the subscriber list, and reach depends on LinkedIn. An email list is yours to keep. Many firms use the newsletter to grow reach and point readers to an email sign-up.

When is a newsletter not worth paying for?

When there is nothing new to say every edition, or when you will not give the writer 30 minutes of your thinking. A newsletter that repeats generic advice loses subscribers quickly. Start with regular posts and move to a newsletter once you have a clear theme.

What does this look like in practice?

A pattern we see: a founder launches a weekly newsletter, runs out of ideas by week six and stops. A monthly edition built from a short interview, with posts cut from it, is usually sustainable and reads better.
