Are you a business owner finding it challenging to find relevant, location-specific emails in bulk to target niche audiences?
Or perhaps wondering how to download emails from LinkedIn so you can contact the right people?
Say no more. I will teach you how to extract emails from LinkedIn, one of the world’s most acknowledged business platforms that is PACKED with useful business contacts.
After reading this guide, you will have a full understanding of what LinkedIn email scraping software currently offers.
Keep reading to find out:
- how LinkedIn email extractors work in general;
- clever way(s) of extracting email addresses from LinkedIn;
- what is the best LinkedIn miner out there and where to get it from.
If you are reading this article, you already know that it’s not possible to see a user’s email address on LinkedIn, unless you are connected to them on the network AND they have their email publicly open to their contact list.
That makes sense since LinkedIn strictly protects its members’ privacy and will only share the data that a user chooses to.
So unless you’re willing to send out hundreds of invites, you’re basically left with one option – using third-party tools that automate LinkedIn email harvesting for you.
What bulk email extraction is
Bulk email extractor tools are software, normally browser extensions or web applications, that automatically extract many email addresses from websites and social media platforms.
If you are wondering how to scrape emails from LinkedIn, they are the solution you’ve been looking for.
Reasons why business owners need to extract emails in bulk:
- to collect addresses of potential customers;
- to save time when sending out newsletters, offers and other business-related emails. This is also called SPAMming, so if you’re looking into this option, DON’T DO IT. You will likely damage your domain’s reputation, as the bounce rates, hard bounces and complaints will go through the roof;
- to create an effective marketing strategy by targeting the right professional circles;
- to create proper lookalike ad targeting on Facebook or, duh, LinkedIn.
LinkedIn address extractor classification
There are many tools available for extracting emails from LinkedIn. Most of them can be classified into 3 types:
- Desktop apps. A desktop app is a piece of software that can be installed on a single computer and used to perform specific tasks. It takes some place on your HD and needs to be regularly updated.
- Browser extensions. A browser extension is a piece of software installed directly into your browser for customization purposes. It takes no place on your HD but may sometimes need to be updated. Note that if you switch between two or more different browsers you will have to install the extension for all of them. Some extensions are compatible with certain browsers only (e.g. an extension may be compatible with Google Chrome but incompatible with Mozilla FireFox).
- Online tools. An online tool is a piece of software that needs no installation. Typically, it is a website allowing the user to create an account and to scrape information online using this account. This is the most convenient option since it requires no installation and no updates (as opposed to desktop apps) and is compatible with all browsers (as opposed to browser extensions). All you need is a computer with internet access.
Here is a list of some of the LinkedIn email extractor software available out there. Let’s start with online tools as they seem to be the most convenient software to use:
Online tools
1. LinkedIn Email Miner Bot by Botster
LinkedIn Email Miner Bot is no ordinary email harvester. First off, it does not operate on monthly or yearly subscription payments like almost all of the other tools that you will find online. This means that if you don’t use the bot – you don’t pay anything.
Second, instead of trying to access LinkedIn, the bot scans Google Search using the following search query (this is an example):
site:linkedin.com "software engineer" california @gmail.com
This query basically tells Google that we want it to display search results from linkedin.com only, that contain the following strings of text:
- software engineer
- California
- @gmail.com
I encourage you to pause the reading and try it out yourself!
You can interchange the variables within the query to your needs, for example, swap “software engineer” with “graphic designer”, use New York instead of California and look for @yahoo.com emails instead of @gmail.com.
In our case, Google obeys and returns the following:
You can already see that most of the search results contain email addresses that were harvested from LinkedIn profiles which are publicly open and available to various search engines. All you need to do now is copy these emails and paste them into your notepad.
Of course, collecting hundreds of emails manually is tedious and inefficient, and this is where the LinkedIn Email Miner bot comes into play. It will scan Google’s search result pages for you and extract email addresses automatically.
After the bot returns the data, you can download it as an Excel, CSV, or JSON file. The table is going to look like this:
