You are an avid learner and want to know more information. Whenever you browse the net, different sites provide you an option with weekly or daily newsletters in digital form. Generally, you need to subscribe to these, using your name and email id.

But there is one disadvantage with it. Once you starting picking up every website in your niche, you will subscribing to many newsletters. Your email inbox will be full of these messages, if they are on a daily basis.

If you are using Gmail, the best method to prevent them from annoying you is to create a filter and label them. By this way you can skip all the unnecessary newsletters from popping up in your inbox and only relevant mail can be seen.

The other alternate option is to unsubscribe from them totally when you have found that a particular newsletter is irrelevant or unnecessary. The best part comes here. If you are using Gmail and Chrome there is an extension called “unsubscribe from newsletters easily on g-mail” which creates a button called “Unsubscribe” at the top of your mail.

Before we go deep into this Chrome extension, let’s see how you can manually unsubscribe to these newsletters. You need to click “All Mail” on the left hand side of Gmail and in the search box enter “unsubscribe”. Bam! All the newsletters or mail having the unsubscribe option are listed in this search. Now you need to manually open each mail and click on “Unsubscribe“ link or any other corresponding text link to stop those newsletters from pestering you.
