How many people are on LinkedIn

LinkedIn reports members (registered accounts), not monthly active users, so its numbers are not directly comparable with other platforms.

What people do on LinkedIn

LinkedIn's business

Microsoft's financial year runs from July to June, so FY26 ended on 30 June 2026.

What this means for a small business

  • LinkedIn's member count is large but counts registered accounts, so expect a smaller active audience than the headline suggests.
  • Posts that share useful know-how and spark comments are growing fastest, so practical advice from your own work suits the platform well.
  • Video is a growing format on LinkedIn. Short clips explaining how you work or answering a common customer question are a simple place to start.
  • If you sell to other businesses or hire staff, a regularly updated company page is worth the effort.

Knowing where your customers are is half of it; the other half is posting there every week. Make a post with the free generator or let Zolyp plan and write the week for you.
