How to get the link

Create an account and start a publication.
Choose Create, then Article.
Write the post with your links.
Publish to the web, with or without the email.

Worth it if

You want a newsletter, or already write one.

Skip it if

You'd only post for links; a publication with no readers adds nothing.
