Are LinkedIn InMail messages driving you nuts? Turns out there’s a way to stop them — forever.
These random messages were driving me to the brink of insanity.
So I complained on Twitter.
What happened next shocked me. The kind folks at LinkedIn stepped in to help!
Here’s how to turn off InMail forever:
1) Logged into LinkedIn, click on the “Me” button next to the picture of yourself.

2) Click “Settings & Privacy.”
3) The settings screen appears. On the left, click “Data & Privacy”.

4) Under “Who can reach you,” click “Messages”.

5) Under “InMail messages,” click “No.” LinkedIn InMail is now gone forever!
I turned these messages off because they were never targeted well. I got random proposals to invest in funeral parlors, solar farms, etc. despite saying on my profile that I’m a software investor.
I don’t really blame them — founders have to raise money. But I also need to protect my most precious resource: my time.
I hope this little trick helps you protect your time too!
Are you turning off InMail? Why or why not?
