Your influencer campaign is so<\/em> close to the official kickoff. You\u2019ve built your strategy<\/a> and, thanks to some influencer research<\/a>, your targets have been acquired. Get ready, because it\u2019s finally time to make those connections.
Time to send some outreach emails<\/a>. This is where it starts to get really fun.
This is where planning comes to a close and you\u2019re getting closer to launch. It\u2019s time to go down the list you made after reading last week\u2019s post<\/a>, and start reaching out to the people on it.
It seems simple, but you quickly realize it\u2019s not. At least one target will have an email address you can\u2019t find anywhere. Another will respond immediately, super excited to get started – never to be heard from again.
Things can get hectic really quickly.

Influencer outreach may seem simple, but you quickly realize it’s not.
That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to have a great arsenal of tools to turn to. Some will do heavy lifting for you, while others just keep you organized. And others will be crazy simple yet save you hours of time.
Have I sufficiently hyped these tools yet? Yes? Great – now that you\u2019re curious, let\u2019s move on to the list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 1: Finding influencers’ contact information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Influencer research<\/a> frequently leaves you with a list of names, websites, Twitter handles, etc. But actual email addresses can be hard to find. These tools will be a lifesaver, I promise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EmailHunter.co – find any email address<\/h3>\n\n\n

If you know the company or website of someone you\u2019re reaching out to, just type it into EmailHunter.co<\/a>. It will look around online for all the emails associated with that domain. Once it\u2019s done, it\u2019ll spit out a nice little (or big) list, and you just look for the name or department you need to contact!
EmailHunter.co is a great tool when you don’t know much about a company.
I like EmailHunter because you don\u2019t need to know much about a company to use it. For example, say you want a quote from a company\u2019s marketing department – but don\u2019t have names. Search for the company and you\u2019ll probably find a group email like marketing@company.com. You can use that instead of a name, if need be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rapportive – find emails and social accounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rapportive<\/a> isn\u2019t technically for finding emails, but it\u2019s still really easy<\/a> to do so. It\u2019s a plugin that brings up a panel in Gmail showing you information on the person you\u2019re communicating with. Things like their interests, job, LinkedIn profile, and any shared connections.
If you can find the email address of anyone at the company (through a press release, LinkedIn profile, etc.), then you already know the structure. If not, try some of the common formats, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
