Engagement rate

Engagement rate measures how actively readers interact with your work, through opens, clicks, replies, and shares, relative to audience size.

Engagement rate normalizes interaction by audience size, so a 500-subscriber list with constant replies can be healthier than a 50,000-subscriber list of silence.

For mailbox providers and feed algorithms alike, engagement is reputation. Audiences that respond get better delivery and reach.
