How to Create a Newsletter on LinkedIn (2026)
A LinkedIn newsletter lets followers subscribe and get notified by email and on-platform whenever you publish. It runs on top of the article editor — but first your account needs newsletter access. Here’s how to check eligibility and launch one.
1. Confirm You Have Newsletter Access
LinkedIn grants newsletter access based on eligibility criteria, not a paid plan. You generally need:
- More than 150 followers and/or connections.
- A history of recently sharing original content.
- An account in good standing under LinkedIn’s Professional Community Policies.
The old Creator Mode toggle was retired, but its tools — including newsletters — are still gated by these criteria. If you qualify, you’ll see the Create newsletter option in step 2.
2. Create a Newsletter (Desktop)
- On your home feed, click Write article at the top.
- In the article editor, click the Manage dropdown near the top-right.
- Select Create newsletter.
- Fill in the setup card:
- Title — keep it short and search-friendly.
- Description — what each edition delivers.
- Publishing cadence — weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.
- Logo/image (optional but recommended).
- Click Done.
3. Publish Your First Edition
- Write your article in the editor.
- Confirm the newsletter is selected (not a standalone article).
- Click Publish.
When you publish the first edition, your connections and followers are invited by notification to subscribe. After that, subscribers get a notification and email for every new edition.
4. Create a Newsletter for a Company Page
Page admins can run a Page newsletter too:
- Go to your Page in admin view.
- Start an article as the Page.
- Use the Manage > Create newsletter option, set the details, and publish.
5. Troubleshooting
I don’t see “Create newsletter” in the Manage menu
Your account doesn’t meet the access criteria yet. Grow past 150 followers/connections, post original content regularly, and check again — access is evaluated over time.
Can I change the title or cadence later?
Yes. From the article editor’s Manage menu, open your newsletter settings to edit the title, description, logo, and cadence.
Why didn’t subscribers get notified?
The big subscription push happens on your first published edition. For later editions, only existing subscribers are notified — that’s expected.
How many newsletters can I run?
Members can run a limited number of active newsletters. If you can’t create another, retire or delete an existing one first.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
