The same people who used the platform when it launched in 2010 are likely the same people who are active in it today.

Your prospects are most definitely on the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>People spend a ton of time on Instagram. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach your prospects where they\u2019re most active. As of this year, Instagram users spend an average of 29 minutes scrolling through the app\u2014that\u2019s double what it was just four years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>The platform collects and stores email addresses. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you click on \u201caccept\u201d or \u201cagree to terms of use\u201d after downloading an app like Instagram, one of the information collected is your location and contact details, which includes your email address. While the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/lawrina.org\/guides\/business\/internet-law\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">internet law<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will protect you from Instagram divulging your private information, they keep your data to help advertisers and businesses run more effective campaigns.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Instagram has in-built features for collecting emails. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways you can use Instagram to collect emails. The link in the bio tool\u2014which now allows you to add multiple links\u2014can be used as a sign-up link to collect email addresses. You also have the option to add links to your Instagram Stories and add a contact button to your profile so prospects can easily reach you.

But, of course you\u2019ll have to lure anyone in with high-quality content on your Instagram page before you ask anyone to sign up. This means using Instagram more than just a place to lurk on your prospects, but actually provide value to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you want to reach out to prospects to invest in your business or for a possible collaboration, then your Instagram page should be able to communicate the advantages of working with you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your page should be good enough to follow before anyone will consider signing up for your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email list.

If you want people to take action the moment they land on your profile, include a CTA in your bio. If character count permits, tell them why they should sign up.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Add an action button to your profile<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you have a business or professional account, you can add an action button to your profile. Instead of choosing the \u201cEmail\u201d\u00a0 action button, you can use the \u201cAdd lead form\u201d button. Using Instagram\u2019s standard lead form will gather full names, email addresses, and contact numbers for you. You also have the option to create a custom lead form and customize it for your specific needs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Create an Instagram lead ad. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram collects <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/clario.co\/blog\/which-company-uses-most-data\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70% of all available data<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so you can target the right person with your ad campaign.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get more prospects to sign up, you\u2019ll need to run a lead generation ad. Otherwise, you\u2019re limiting your audience to your existing audience and organic page visitors. Lead ads allow you to collect more information, including email addresses, from your prospects.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To create a lead ad, you\u2019ll need to use Facebook Ads Manager and select Lead Generation as your objective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Add pre-filled sections to your forms to get higher completion rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you get your prospects to sign up for your list, they become <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/belkins.io\/blog\/how-to-differ-cold-warm-hot-leads\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">warmer leads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This means they will be more responsive to you versus finding their email through other means.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But with the proper techniques and a little bit of persistence, it can be a powerful tool to gather valuable email addresses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best case, your prospects\u2019 email addresses are displayed on their profiles. Worst case, you\u2019ll have to dig deeper and use other tools to help you. In a platform like Instagram, where users value engagement, you can probably start your cold outreach via a direct message and ask for their email address directly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<aside class=\"cta-block cta-block--a-version js-cta-block ab-no-10-cta-block ab-no-11-cta-block\">\n  <p class=\"cta-block__heading u-heading-preset-md-600\">Send powerful emails &amp; boost replies<\/p>\n  <div class=\"cta-block__form-container\">\n    <form class=\"js-cta-block-form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" class=\"cta-block__button-only-form js-cta-block-no-input-form\">\n      \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\nStart free trial\n<\/button>    <\/form>\n    \n    <form class=\"c-input-button-form js-cta-block-form cta-block__form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" method=\"POST\" novalidate>\n        \n  <div class=\"c-form-field js-form-field  c-input-button-form__form-field\">\n    \n    <label class=\"c-label c-form-field__label\" for=\"cta-block-form-email-2008079903\">Work email<\/label>\n\n                    \n  <input class=\"c-input  js-input c-input-button-form__input\" placeholder=\"will@woodpecker.co\" name=\"email\" id=\"cta-block-form-email-2008079903\" type=\"email\" \/>\n            \n    <span class=\"c-form-field__error js-error\">\n                                      Invalid email format\n        \n\n                <\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"c-input-button-form__button\">\n          \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"cta-block__button c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\n                Start free trial\n        \n\n<\/button>        <\/div>\n\n            <\/form>\n  <\/div>\n<\/aside><\/p>\n<h2>FAQ on how to get prospect emails with Instagram<\/h2>\n<p>Check out the answers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"4f9f669d-92de-4c7b-9b06-afb457729a4c\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<h3><strong>How to get email leads from Instagram?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To get email leads from Instagram, use features like Instagram ads, lead forms, and action buttons in your bio.
