You have an idea for a business. You think it has potential. You build a website, get your ads going, and even get a few orders! Amazing 🙂

You decide to turbo charge your growth. Why not do some cold outreach to customers who might be interested in your product? You figure out what kind of businesses to target, and begin to search online for their emails. Unfortunately, all the emails listed on their website are these generic info@, contact@, type of emails. Emailing those will for sure not get you a response. Better to email a person directly.

So you try to figure out who to email. And then you try to find that person’s email. A few hours in, you have about 3-4 leads you can reach out to. Phew!

I was running into this same problem as I was trying to grow my handmade journals business, Zen Scribbles. I was spending hours trying to find emails of people to reach out to. And this wasn’t the fun, creative work that I was excited about. This was pure drudgery. Looking through multiple websites, trying to figure out who to email. Hours of effort that could be spent eleswhere, but I had to do it if I wanted to grow my business.

And so I built EmailHuntr. It asks you for what kind of business you’re looking for, what roles you’re targeting to reach out to (eg: Events coordinator, sourcing manager, etc), and then searches the web to find those email contacts for you.

Emailhuntr has saved me hours of effort! Using the app has helped me reach out to gifting studios, bookstores, wineries and yoga studios – all in the matter of a few minutes instead of several hours.

I thought I’ll share the tool with all of you also. It’s free and helpful for small businesses and solopreneurs, who want to find leads without spending a lot of dough on expensive subscriptions. Do check it out! 🙂
