Summary

This week's main topic looks at how many active accounts there are on LinkedIn. See my LinkedIn membership tracker , particularly the updated section titled "How many active users are on LinkedIn?"

Do text-only posts perform less well than posts with images? Looking at my own data since the start of 2024, my text-only posts get 27% more impressions than my posts where I include an image.
