Hunter.io is primarily a B2B sales leads platform. It allows you to search for specific companies by name, and then get all the email addresses for the people who work at that company.

Hunter.io ‘scrapes’ the internet to find email addresses. So, although you won’t be able to get a complete email address list for ‘every employee’ at a company you search for, you will be able to find the email addresses for employees who have their email address posted online.

This might be helpful if you know exactly what companies to search for.

Go to their homepage, and in the search box, just enter a domain name or company name that you want to search for, then click ‘find email addresses’. Their system will start scraping the internet for validated references to the company you are searching for. If they find email addresses for the company you’re searching for, they will display them.

If you don’t know what companies to search for, you might want to try using a different tool like LeadsPlease Business Email Lists.

Landing Pages

Landing Pages are a fast, and economical way for small and large businesses to collect email addresses.

A Landing Page is a website Page that a user ‘lands on’ before entering your website. Most of the time, these customizable pages are visited after a user clicks on a paid advertisement. Landing Pages can be used by small businesses and ecommerce sites, to gather new leads, and in our case, email addresses.

How to get free email lists with Landing Pages

A Landing Page can include signup forms where people can input their contact details and email address. If you pair a signup form with a strong CTA (call to action), it can lead to lots of customers leaving you their email addresses, and result in a high conversion rate.

Most landing page services allow you to do a/b testing. This means you can create 2 similar pages, drive traffic to both pages, and see which variant performs the best. Once you figure out which page is performing the best, you can start driving more traffic to the top performer and get even more email subscribers.

Pop-up Forms

Pop-up forms are pop-up notifications that are used in digital marketing to attract new subscribers. These forms are relatively easy to implement and can be used with lead magnets to get people to sign up and give you their email address.

How to get free email lists with Pop-up Forms

Pop-up Forms are a quick and easy way to ask visitors for more information. Add a Pop-up form to your website, in an appropriate place, and entice your users to leave their email addresses.

Website visitors can be hesitant to leave their email address, unless they’re given a good reason to. So, make sure you add a punchy subject line to you Pop-up form, and give them a good reason to leave their email address. Maybe offer a discount or something for free, and watch your free email list start growing.

Frequently asked questions about free email lists

We hear a lot of questions from daily callers and Customers. We love hearing your questions and trying to help.

These are the most frequently asked questions about free email lists, how to compile them and what to do with them after you get them.

What email marketing software services do you recommend for sending out my email campaigns?

We are not affiliated with any email marketing service or ’email deployment’ companies. So, although we can’t officially ‘recommend’ certain email marketing tools, our customers have mentioned using the following services :

Can I use HubSpot and MailChimp to send out emails to people I don’t know?

MailChimp encourages its customers to send email campaigns to current customers and people you know. Our Company and many of our Customers have used MailChimp in the past, so we are very familiar with their services. One topic that interests us a lot, and we’re very familiar with, is their their policy against using purchased email addresses on their paltform. MailChimp does not like it when you upload and send email campaigns to 3rd party purchased email addresses.

We believe that prospecting is ‘King’, so, we advise our Customers to not use MailChimp to send out prospecting emails using our email address Lists.

What are the pros and cons of MailChimp?

MailChimp is a very popular marketing platform that offers a basic free plan and paid plans with more options and features. One of the best features that MailChimp offers, is their awesome email marketing automation. This allows you to setup a series of automated emails that are triggered by rules you set. It’s a fantastic tool for connecting with your current customers, and people who know who you are. They offer lots of nice email templates, email newsletters, email opt-in forms, and drag-and-drop features.

One of the biggest cons, or downsides to using MailChimp, however, is the inability to send prospecting emails to a contact list. They do not allow you to use their marketing platform to send email campaigns to a target audience that you don’t know, or who are not familiar with your business or service.

So, if you want to find new customers and send emails to people who might not know about your business, we strongly discourage using MailChimp. If you do use them for prospecting to people you don’t know, you will likely see high bounce rates, low conversions and a high number of unsubscribes.

How much does it cost to buy an email list?
