How To Get 80% Of Email Addresses For Your Facebook Fans With This Simple Hack
UPDATE: My apologies, I'm now convinced that this hack does not work as described. You've spent countless hours building your community on Facebook only to have the social net change its algorithm and gut the reach of your posts. You could use a widgets to ask for email addresses or you can try this simple hack.
Go to "Yahoo.mail – sign up"- Right after signup , you will be offered the option to import contacts from Facebook. Do it.
- After the contacts are imported, click "Skip setup"
- Enter "Contacts"and you see all the email addresses
This netted the folks at GrowthHackingIdea the email addresses of 80% of their Facebook followers.
TIP: Make your first email to these addresses an invite to sign up or at least add a prominent "Opt Out." If you do not,you will likely be in violation of your email provider's "Terms and Conditions." Adding an incentive, like a free download, will greatly increase your "Opt Ins."

This only works for your friends list, not your fan pages. Misleading.
I tried it with my personal page and it didn’t work!
It would have been BRILLIANT!
Yup, as JJ said, this doesn’t work at all. It only imports PERSONAL profile contacts, not PAGE contacts. Thankfully, you can delete Yahoo accounts easily.
Isn’t this still spamming in the end, since the “invite to sign up” wansn’t an opt-in?
It doesn’t matter if it works or not!!! Because this is ILLEGAL to save emails and also illegal to send emails to them if they are not subscribed!
I don’t even understand why this post is still here? Hypebot starts to really get shittier.
Yep, even if this was possible (and is via personal page) it would be illegal to do this – since your fans or followers (and even friends) have not given you permission to send them email – so the email would be effectively spam, and were you to get blacklisted as a result, you’d not have a leg to stand on.
My advice – ask people to sign up to your email list and provide them with an incentive to do so – it’ll be far better and you’ll see far more engagement from your fans as a result.
I spent about 1 hour to see how I can do something valuable with this idea. I try everything – never knows where a way goes without walking. But it was a dead end.
Just two weeks back this hacker by the name Franklin Green helped a friend of mine hack her boy friends facebook and
emails in less than 24hours, so i gave him a try too and i must say he is a genius. If you need his services contact him
on his email greenfr1007@gmail.com or kik satish.anchan4
good work.
