LinkedIn is a professional networking platform that offers users the opportunity to stay up-to-date with the latest industry news, job opportunities, and relevant content. One of the ways LinkedIn provides valuable information is through email newsletters. However, not everyone wants to receive these emails, and sometimes they can become overwhelming. Fortunately, LinkedIn gives you full control over your email preferences, allowing you to easily subscribe or unsubscribe from newsletters.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps for subscribing or unsubscribing from LinkedIn email newsletters.
How to Subscribe to LinkedIn Email Newsletters
- Log in to Your LinkedIn Account
Open your web browser and go to LinkedIn. Enter your credentials to sign in. - Access the ‘Notifications’ Settings
Once logged in, click on your profile picture or the “Me” icon located at the top of the homepage. From the dropdown menu, select “Settings & Privacy.” - Go to Communications Settings
On the left sidebar, select “Communications” to access your email preferences. - Find the ‘Email Frequency’ Section
Under the ‘Email Frequency’ section, you can manage the types of emails you receive from LinkedIn, including newsletters. Look for options related to “Newsletters,” “Product Updates,” and other communications. - Subscribe to Newsletters
LinkedIn allows you to subscribe to various newsletters, whether they are related to your industry or professional interests. Once you have found the newsletter category that interests you, simply select “Subscribe” next to the desired newsletter. You will start receiving those emails. - Managing Newsletters from Profiles
You can also subscribe to individual LinkedIn newsletters directly from someone’s profile. If a person you follow publishes a newsletter, you’ll see the option to subscribe directly under the newsletter section of their profile.
How to Unsubscribe from LinkedIn Email Newsletters
If you no longer want to receive LinkedIn email newsletters, the process to unsubscribe is just as simple.
Unsubscribe Through Email:
- Open the Email Newsletter
Locate any LinkedIn email newsletter you have received in your inbox. - Scroll to the Bottom
At the bottom of the email, you will see an “Unsubscribe” link. Click this link to stop receiving future emails from that particular newsletter. - Confirm Your Unsubscription
After clicking “Unsubscribe,” LinkedIn will confirm your unsubscription, and you will no longer receive that specific newsletter.
Unsubscribe Through LinkedIn Settings:
- Log in to LinkedIn
As mentioned earlier, start by logging into your LinkedIn account. - Access the ‘Notifications’ Settings
Click on your profile picture and select “Settings & Privacy.” - Go to Communications Settings
From the settings menu, go to “Communications.” - Manage Newsletters and Other Communications
In the ‘Email Frequency’ section, you will see the option to manage newsletter subscriptions. Simply uncheck the newsletters you no longer wish to receive, and LinkedIn will stop sending them to your inbox. - Unsubscribe from a Specific Newsletter
If you’re subscribed to specific newsletters, you can directly unsubscribe from them by clicking “Unsubscribe” next to their title.
Additional Tips for Managing LinkedIn Email Preferences
- Adjust Frequency: Instead of unsubscribing entirely, you may prefer to adjust how often you receive newsletters. LinkedIn offers options like daily, weekly, or monthly email frequency for many of their communications.
- Control Other LinkedIn Emails: Besides newsletters, LinkedIn also sends notifications about job opportunities, connections, and recommendations. You can choose to turn off or adjust the settings for these as well, to reduce the volume of emails.
- Check Your Email Preferences Regularly: LinkedIn occasionally updates its communication settings. It’s a good idea to review your preferences regularly to make sure you’re only receiving emails that are most useful to you.
