Below are more than 7 techniques you can use to collect emails and start using them in your cold campaigns(email scraping).

Email Scraping Techniques

Let us begin our list for email scraping by starting with the most used website online: Google.

Google Email Scraping

Let’s start for example on searching for emails who work in the digital marketing field.

Open Google, and start searching for emails that are involved in digital marketing. How? Just type “Digital Marketing” “@gmail.com” in the search bar. Note that the search we are using now is for google emails. Now google will display results about digital marketing.

An important tip to follow: to get the most out of the searches, go to search setting and ensure you have the search results set to 100. This way you can get more results in the page.

Now copy all the data on the search page. Just press CTRL A on your keyboard and CTRL C. How to get the emails? Go to our free email extraction tool here.

Paste your results by pressing CTRL V in the Paste Text Here. You can see in our example we got 58 Emails for people who are interested in digital marketing. Just copy them and add them to your list! Nice!

Let’s now move to a bit more complex example. Let’s suppose you want to search for more mails not just google mail. Just type the same search but instead remove the quotes from digital marketing and add OR “yahoo.com” to your search term. This way Google gets you emails from both gmail and yahoo.

Also, you can you the same method to search from a specific area or specific sites. For example, this search (travel agent “@gmail.com” OR “yahoo.com” site:Facebook.com) gets you both Gmail and Yahoo emails from Facebook site. Wonderful!

LinkedIn Email Scraping

We will open a website named recruitin.net. This website allows you to generate a search query from google.

So our goal is to get the emails from LinkedIn, stay on its tab. Choose the county of the people you want to target and choose the job title. In our example we are going to search for “Digital Marketing Manager”.

Now press Find the right people on LinkedIn and the recruitin.net will generate a search query to run on Google.

Now copy this URL and paste it in your browser. This will show you the results but without the emails of the people. To get the emails just add the mail’s domain in the search bar.

Now follow the Google email scraping technique we learned before. Just CTRL A, CTRL C and go to h-SuperTools email text extractor and paste your results to get the emails. Super easy!

Scraping Emails from Gmail

You must have received thousands of emails in your Gmail account. Especially if you have a service online and people are contacting you to your email.

So how to get all these emails that are contacting you and add them to the list of your cold emails? Here’s how.

Go to you account and open google apps. In your apps, open google sheets. This is the same as excel sheet by made by google. Open a blank page.

Inside the sheet, go to add-ons and click on get add-ons. Search for email address extractor and install it.

After the installation, go to add-ons and you find the extractor there. Open it and click continue, then choose the folder you want to extract the emails from, which is inbox. Wait a bit, and the magic appears. Now you have additional set of emails to add them to your list! Wonderful.

Scraping Business Emails

Now let’s go to a more advanced technique, scraping emails of business accounts and companies. One way is to use a website called snov.io.

Using this website, you can add the name and last name of the person you searching for, and add the domain of their company.

Snov.io will go and search the web for emails containing the combination you entered. For example, we want to search for Hasan Aboulhasan in h-educate.com. The tool will search and will give us the results. And what is nice, is that the tool validates the email before providing it to you. Btw, you can read this article for an awesome way to validate emails.

Now you are going to tell me that you do not know the name of the person in the business you need to send an email to. There is always a solution. We can use the google scraping. Just go to a google page, type the domain you want to find any email in.

After that, copy all the data in the search results (CTRL A + CRTL C). Then go to our email extractor tool and paste the data. And voila, you have found an email to reach from this domain.

It is worth to mention that you will not get a lot of emails using this technique. You are targeting specific businesses with specific domains and not Gmail, so these domains will have very few emails only.

Now let’s talk about a way to target companies directly.

There are 2 ways to achieve this.

Let’s suppose you want to target SEO companies, or whatever business you need to target.

Go to Google, and run your search.

Start going to the websites of these companies, and go to the contact us page.

You can either send them an email directly from the contact us page, or just get the email mentioned in the page and add it to your list! Very simple!

Manual Email Scraping

As we have mentioned before, you can use snov.io to search for a specific person inside a company.
Snov.io and another service called hunter.io have another way you can search for emails.

For example, you can go to snov.io and collect all the emails related to a specific domain.

How?
Just go to find emails and click on domain search.

Now let’s suppose we need to search for all people who work in stripe for instance. Type the domain you need, and the service will give you all the emails in the specified domain. The same way you can use hunter.io to find emails in the domains.
