LinkedIn is introducing a newsletter feature that will help one build an organic community that will help users grow their networks, engage with new audiences and expand their reach to new opportunities.

Jobs seekers will get automatic notifications once certain brands release an issue of their newsletter.

Subscribers will also be able to opt in to get email notifications in case of future updates.

The LinkedIn feature is free for use, which means you don’t have to sign up for LinkedIn premium to begin building a community on the company’s platform.

If you choose to subscribe to a newsletter, that’s one thing, but it could be a problem if lots of pages that you follow start using it as a new ‘growth hack’, and a way to push their latest promotions into your stream.

Sometimes it can be annoying, but you can just unfollow and manage pages you want to receive newsletters from.

Whether you want to build a community of like-minded individuals or reach even more customers, LinkedIn has you covered with its latest round of updates.
