Many businesses are grasping at straws when it comes to how to find email addresses to heighten their prosperity. Still, you might want to write to your friend, but by mistake you deleted his/her email address. What will you do? Try mindless Googling?
Let’s show you 5 practical ways to find any email
1. Ask for a personal connection.
Found a contact form or a generic info@domainname.com type of address? Shoot a simple message asking for a personal contact.Don’t forget to specify why you are asking. Interestingly, it’s the “because” and not the “please” that prompts people to grant you a favor.
2. Use Twitter’s advanced search
People often share their email addresses in their tweets. But to hide them from bots, they replace “.” and “@” symbols with “dot” and “at” words.
Have you already guessed your next step?Go to the Twitter Advanced Search and look for the words “at” and “dot” in tweets from your target person. You can also include words like “email,” “contact,” or “reach” in your search to narrow down the results.
3. Subscribe to their mailing list.
Maybe your person of interest has a website, but there’s no contact information listed on it. If they have a newsletter, chances are, they don’t use a no-reply address to send it. Consider using a separate address to subscribe — you don’t want to end up cluttering your personal or work email with a subscription you don’t need.
4. Ask for a personal connection via a generic email address or contact form
Most big companies have either a contact form on their website or list a generic email address for inquiries (e.g., info@domainname.com). Those inboxes are mostly handled by support teams or by VAs.
Just shoot a simple message and ask them to connect you with the person you want to reach.
5. Use email look-up online services
There are a host of email discovery tools out there, and they are probably the easiest way to find an email address without having to do all the guess-work yourself.
Every email address and email list should be verified. You saw the reasons described in others of our blog entries, and you clearly understand that any problem can happen with wrong email addresses. So the more often you verify your existing lists the better, and always verify your new email lists.
Some people verify only new email lists, or email lists generated from untrusted sources, which is good, of course, but does not eliminate the risk completely. You should always verify new email lists, even those bought or generated from highly trusted sources (such as expensive third party databases and vendors). Remember our Email Verifier tool will help you on that (try it free here).
Email verification is a must-have process, and you will see more proof of how important it is and how much time and money it can save you.
