5 Lazy Ways to Find Someone’s Email
by Erica McGillivray@emcgillivray
Recently, 3 requests within 24 hours for my email address
All those people, I genuinely like and all are web savvy
But humans be lazy (me too!)
Let’s do this the easy way
#1: If using Gmail, search for past correspondence with names or keywords.
#2: Do they have a website or email linked on social media?
Google talk = GmailAddress: [email protected]
Website!
Usernames are the same. Probably uses this in email too.
#3: Visit their website
Email: [email protected]. Plus, 10,000 other social networks linked. Don’t be scared that the email here is on a unique domain. It works since you can see the site.
#4: Workplace
Email: [email protected]. If you don’t find someone’s email, look at the company’s naming conventions in other’s email addresses. Moz = [email protected].
#5: Make logical guesses and use Rapportive to verify
Extra credit: use Rob Ousbey’s email suggest: http://bit.ly/name2email
We have a match!
This doesn’t always work
But just take 5 seconds to try
Then go back to being lazy
