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?"

Postbag

– What do you think of people customising their pronouns?

In short, don't do it!

– There are quite a few LinkedIn experts who seem to attach an image to every single one of their posts. 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.
