Most of us have found ourselves in a situation where we need to email somebody, but don’t have an email address for them. Perhaps you met somebody new at a conference last weekend and seem to have misplaced the business card that they gave you to get in touch with them. Or maybe you’d like to reach out to somebody who you would like to work with online. Either way, it’s not always easy to do that if you don’t have a way of contacting them via email. Thankfully, there are several strategies that you can use to find almost anybody’s email address online.
Nuwber:
Nuwber is a people search site that allows you to find contact details for almost anybody. If it is available somewhere online, you can be sure that this site will have it. If you need to find somebody’s email address and only have their name, be sure to check Nuwber as chances are that once you search for their name you’ll be able to find their email address, contact number, and much more information on them.
Social Media:
Many people list their email addresses on social media. If you need to send somebody an email and you have them as a friend on Facebook or follow them on Twitter, it’s a good idea to check if their email address is available in their profile about section. Of course, if you follow each other on social media, there’s always the easier option of simply sending them a DM to ask for their email address too. If you don’t follow each other and can’t send a message, Facebook and Linkedin profiles tend to have contact emails available to non-followers the most, depending on the user’s settings.
Their Company Website:
If the person that you’re trying to get in touch with has their own business, chances are that there will be an email address you can find on their company website. Some companies list the emails of individual members of staff while others have one main contact email address. If you can get their individual work email then you’re in luck, but otherwise, you might have to send a message to the general contact email address and ask for them to pick it up and get back in touch with you.
Subscribe to Their Email List:
If you’re looking for someone’s email address for outreach purposes, then the good news is that most prospects are going to have an email list that you can subscribe to. Check out their website and if it features a blog or email newsletter, add your own email address to the subscriber list so that you can start receiving emails from them. Chances are that the information you receive from them will include an email address that you can reply to with feedback or questions – and you’re in!
Google Search:
Last but not least, and perhaps the most obvious is to conduct a quick Google search for the person you are trying to find an email address for. If they have listed their email address anywhere online chances are that it will come up in the search results here. The more information that you have on somebody, the better – especially if they have quite a common name, so it might be worth searching for their name along with their company, location, or other identifying information that you might hold.
