There are dozens of reasons why you may want to look up someone’s social media profiles with an email. Perhaps you receive an email from an unknown sender and wonder who s/he is. Maybe you’ve got hold of the email address of a business prospect and intend to find out more about them before making the initial contact. Or you just want to indulge in a moment’s curiosity and see what’s going on with a stranger (or a little more than a stranger’s) life.

Regardless of the situation, finding out someone’s social media by email address is relatively easy. And there are 7 ways you can do it…

5. Reverse email lookup with PeopleFinders

PeopleFinders is another powerful social search engine that allows you to trace someone’s digital footprints and find out all hidden social media accounts attached to the email. And all it takes is just a couple of minutes.

1. Go to PeopleFinders Email Lookup page.
2. Enter the email address of the subject and hit Search.
   
   Hint: You can also click Advanced Search to narrow down your search and get more accurate results.
3. Wait a while as PeopleFinders generates a report of all up-to-date information about the person whose social media you’d like to dig out.
   

6. Search across different social media platforms

If you’d rather perform a manual search yourself, you can start by searching the email address on each social network and combine them when you finish. This approach is relatively time-consuming and since only a limited number of social networks support email lookup, your search may be a hit or miss.

For example, on Facebook, you can easily look up someone’s Facebook profile by a single search of their email while you may not find out their Whatsapp account with the information. If you insist on doing this, you may need to find out other relevant information first (name, phone number etc).

7. Run a Google search

Another place to try your luck is search engines, such as Google. The web search engine giant does not just pull data from hundreds of social media sites but also indexes billions and billions of queries and information that have been publicly available.

When searching for an email address, one handy trick to use is to type the email address into the search bar, as usual, then wrap the email address in quotes (e.g. “support@supereasy.com”) before you press Enter. This way, the search engine will eliminate all vague matches for your query and deliver you only the results with exact email addresses attached. After that, you can do further digging from the first result to narrow down, until you’ve found out the leads to their social media accounts.

If you’re greeted with “It looks like there aren’t many great matches for your search“, however, it means that the owner of the email address hasn’t disclosed the email address to the internet, hence your web search engine has no clues for it.

That’s it – five ways for you to find someone on all social networks. Hopefully, this has helped. If you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions, you’re more than welcome to let me know in the comments.
