If you’ve lost their email address or they have accidentally entered it into your opt-in form incorrectly, you might be wondering if there is anything that you can do to find it, or if you have lost it forever. Luckily, you can find someone’s email address using several options, including:

• Social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter
• WHOIS lookup tools
• An email lookup tool
• Google Search for the person
• Subscribe to their email list from their website or blog, if they have one

How to Find People’s Email Addresses for Free?

Using an email lookup tool is one of the best ways to find somebody’s email address for free. All you need to do is enter their name and/or a website that they are connected to in the email lookup tool, and it will search for the relevant address for you.

Bear in mind that not all email lookup services are completely free of charge, and you may need to start paying if you want to use it to look up several different addresses.

Another trick that you can use is searching on an alternative search engine like DuckDuckGo. Using this search engine, you can run a search for @ domainname.com and choose the exact match to get results for any email addresses linked to the domain name that is publicly available.

If you know the name of the person who owns the email address that you are looking for, you can also include their name to narrow down your results.

Finally, social media is another free search tool to make use of. If you follow the person on Twitter, search their tweets for ‘at’ and ‘dot’ to see if they have ever mentioned their email address. You may also include words like ‘contact’ and ‘email’.

How to Find if the Email Address is Valid?

How to Find Company Email Addresses?

Finding company email addresses is often essential if you have a product or service that you want to market to business owners or if you are looking to connect with a prospect for partnership or working together on a project. Finding company email addresses is not always easy, but the good news is that there are some simple strategies you can employ.

Firstly, check the company website to see if the email addresses are listed. Some companies list email addresses in the ‘About Us’, ‘Meet the Team’ or ‘Contact Us’ sections of their website. Alternatively, you can simply use the contact form on the website and ask to speak to the specific person you are looking for, if you know their name.

Social media is another option to consider if you cannot find a company email address listed on the company website. Professionals on LinkedIn might have their company email listed on their profile, so this is a good place to start.

Or, consider finding them on Twitter and use Twitter Advanced Search to search their tweets for terms such as ‘at’, ‘dot’ ‘reach’, ‘contact’ or ‘email’. Failing that, simply reach out to them yourself and ask for their email address.

What is the Best Way to Find Someone’s Email Address?

The best way to find somebody’s email address will depend on what you need their email address for.

If you are looking for general email addresses to add to your mailing list, the best way to do this is with an opt-in form on your website, blog, social media or in the checkout section of your online store so that customers and prospects will willingly provide you with their details if they are interested in learning more.

Double-opt in and real-time email verification, where subscribers need to confirm that they want to sign up to your newsletter in an email you’ll send to them, can help prevent any issues and make sure that you’re only adding valid emails to your list.

On the other hand, social media can be your best bet if you are trying to find an email for a specific person. Twitter and LinkedIn tend to be popular options especially if you are looking for the company email address of somebody who maintains a professional profile on these social networks.

Failing that, an email lookup tool can be an ideal way if you have enough information about the person to enter into the site and find the right email address for them.

How to Find Out Company Email Format?

Company emails usually follow a specific format, and it can be a frustrating thing if you are looking for the email address of somebody specific in the business to get in touch with them personally.

There are several things that you can do to find the email address of the person working for a company if you know the general format the company uses for their emails.

Firstly, check the Contact Us or About Us pages to find out if the email addresses are also listed since individual emails will follow the same format.

You can also perform a simple Google search of the company including the name of the person that you are looking for to see if their company email comes up. Even if it is not listed on the company website, this might get results from other websites including professional organizations and social media sites like LinkedIn.

You can also use several Chrome extensions such as AeroLeads, which is a tool designed to help you find company email addresses in bulk within seconds. You can use its database containing millions of emails to get massive leads from various sites including LinkedIn, Gmail and more, making it easier than ever to find the email addresses of the people that you want to pitch to.
