LinkedIn has been helpful for me, though. Yes you can’t usually put an external link. (however there is a way to get around this)
But, you now have a space at the top of your profile to put a “Subscribe to Newsletter” link. You’ve also got a “Featured” section in your profile.
Lastly, you can start your own LinkedIn newsletter and all your followers get a notification to subscribe. I basically post part of my newsletter on LinkedIn and then link to my Substack if you want the full version.
Thank you, Wes. I’ve tried the different techniques you mentioned (except the LinkedIn newsletter). My experience is that LinkedIn is not the most relevant place to discuss history. That’s why I’ve focused my efforts on X and Notes, which are more effective in terms of engagement for my topic.
This is encouraging to read!
