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: emcgillivray@gmail.com

Website!

Usernames are the same. Probably uses this in email too.

#3: Visit their website

Email: emcgillivray@sliverofice.com. 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: erica@moz.com. If you don’t find someone’s email, look at the company’s naming conventions in other’s email addresses. Moz = firstname@moz.com.

#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

Email away!
