Yeah! you heard it right, you can find almost anybody’s email using the tricks listed below and for people who feel, “wait, he said almost, is this more like a upto 50% off clickbait title? “ No, it isn't.

I am going to share an extensive list of ways to find emails for anybody, for anything you want. A few are apps, a few are tricks, a few are hacks, and you are going to get everything from this article.

  1. Using common sense :

This is probably the most simple way of finding anybody’s email. Lets say I am looking for email of a person whose name is Vaibhav Sisinty ( yes thats me :P ), the first thing that I would do is try these combinations :

vaibhavsisinty@gmail.com

sisintyvaibhav@gmail.com

vaibhavsisinty@crazyheads.com ( for work email )

vaibhav@crazyheads.com

sisinty@crazyheads.com

vs@crazyheads.com

sv@crazyheads.com

v@crazyheads.com

Now, that I have a laundry list of emails, its time to check if they work? Instead of sending test emails to all the above list. I use this amazing tool called EmailHippo.

This is how it looks like when I try few of the combinations on the site :

The trust score actually signifies if you have a legit email or not. From the above list, you already know that the following look legit :

vaibhav@crazyheads.com

sisintyvaibhav@gmail.com

vaibhavsisinty@gmail.com

Now send your sales pitch to all the above emails separately.

Note : Try to put these combinations on excel and I would suggest you to try every combination with all the famous emails parents like outlook.com, aol.com, icloud.com etc.

Also, to make the list of assumptions more exhaustive, I usually look up for the person on google to get to their social media profiles, make a note of their usernames and concatenate something like gmail.com, yahoo.com etc too.

2. Using tools :

This is probably the easiest method to find emails. Most of the time, we intend to send emails to people working at a specific company, who hold a specific position. Let’s say, you are trying to find someone working in Marketing team of Tesla.

My go to head tool for something like this is, ClearBit connect. It comes in as a simple plugin on Gmail where we can directly find emails.

Click on the Clearbit button on your gmail, type the name of the company and hit search, you will get a list of emails of people working at Tesla. Now you can search for title, lets say, “Marketing Manager” or just scroll through the list. If you look at the second screenshot, we already found 2 marketing folks ;)

You can also directly go to their website, sign-up for a free account and start looking for emails. They allow upto 100 email lookups per month for free and if you ever run out, do checkout my hack on how to create multiple accounts using the same email ;)

If you dont find the email using clearbit, you can use any of the following tools below :

3. Finding Email from Linkedin

Lets say you looking for emails of marketing managers of any company or a company very specific like amazon. The best place to reach and connect with people is Linkedin. But the problem of getting an email through linkedin is long. Find the right people, send request, wait for them to respond, ask them for email and then send an email.

Well, you could use one of the hacks mentioned above or may directly use a tool like Snov.io . Here is how its done and its damn simple.

  1. Install the chrome plugin.
  2. Signup for a free account
  3. Search for the keyword like above on Linkedin
  4. Click the snov icon your chrome and you are done :)

4. Google it mate!

Finally, probably the most no brainer one, but i doubt if many people do it. You can either search for as simple as, “ Vaibhav Sisinty email “ to something more specific like, “ vaibhav sisinty @gmail.com @yahoo.com “ or if you are looking for someone from google, you can also probably search for “ @google.com “ . Don’t believe me?

I was able to find my own email both the times with very basic search keywords. :)

So, to conclude. Using the above tricks, there is a very good chance that you will be able to find almost anybody’s email and yeah make sure you don’t misuse or spam them.

Also, I run this amazing thing on FB and LinkedIn called #CoolHackOfTheDay where I share one amazing hack, just like the one above every week for free :)
