Contacting one person you want to talk to based on information they have publicly posted is fine. If you’ve ever seen someone type out their email address as “name AT gmail DOT com”, you’ve seen someone who knows emails can be scraped and is trying to avoid adding theirs to a list.ĭisclaimer: I am in no way encouraging you to scrape and mass-send unsolicited emails, regardless of how good your intentions or how few you send at once. Most of the options I’ve found basically involve scraping email addresses people have posted publicly. Be aware, however, that they aren’t all going to work very well. I’ve found a few options you might try if this is the goal you’re looking to pursue. If you want to harvest email addresses, you’re going to need to employ some tricks. A business owner running a Facebook Page isn’t going to be able to simply export their audience contact information, for example. At the other end, you have the entire Cambridge Analytica scandal.ĭespite this, Facebook has made it relatively difficult to simply gather user information. How many stories do you hear about people losing jobs because of their social media posts? That’s small scale stuff, too. Facebook has been entrusted with personal information for billions of people, ranging from simple name and email all the way to incredible personal details.įacebook themselves have a rocky history with user information security and privacy. Sometimes it’s for marketing, sometimes it’s for growth hacking, and sometimes you might want to take a slightly darker path. Businesses that want to get ahead often choose to use it as a resource or a tool. Facebook is a massive platform with billions of users, making it unique in our time.
