And your LinkedIn connections can be of three degrees &#8211; 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People in the 1st degree connections are the ones you are, let\u2019s say, friends with. Either you\u2019ve sent them an invitation to connect and they accepted it or you\u2019ve accepted their invitation to connect. You can easily get in touch with them by sending a direct message on LinkedIn. What is more important: you can view their contact details and get their email addresses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connections of the 2nd degree on LinkedIn are the people who are in connection with the ones who are in connection with you &#8211; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a friend of my friend<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> situation<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> And they can easily become your connections of the 1st degree if you click the <\/span><b>Connect<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button. Unfortunately, until you do that, you can neither communicate with them nor see their contact details. However, if you upgrade your LinkedIn plan, you can message them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3rd degree connections are the people who are connected to your 2nd connections. The access is the same: no messages and contact information available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All in all, you can get in touch and get the email addresses of only the 1st degree connections on LinkedIn. So how can you find the LinkedIn contact emails of your 2nd and 3rd connections? This is where Snov.io and Linked Helper come in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"linkedin_emails\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Method 1<\/strong>: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to get LinkedIn emails of 2nd and 3rd connections with Snov.io LI Prospect Finder<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Snov.io <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/linkedin-email-finder\">LI Prospect Finder<\/a>, you can easily get contact details from LinkedIn, regardless of the degree of connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Step 1. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a free Snov.io account and install the Snov.io LI Prospect Finder extension<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/register?lang=en&amp;signup_source=blog&amp;signup_page=snov.io%2Fblog%2Fhow-to-get-the-contact-details-of-your-2nd-and-3rd-connections-on-linkedin-in-two-easy-steps&amp;cta_type=link\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">create a Snov.io account<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and install the <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/ext\/li-prospect-finder.zip\">LI Prospect Finder<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> extension<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When registering, you can sign up using email or with your Gmail account. The extension automatically integrates with your Snov.io account and you can start using Snov.io and LinkedIn to find emails.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Step 2. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perform the LinkedIn search\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to LinkedIn and enter your search parameters, for example, \u201cSEO specialist\u201d. In the <\/span><b>Connections<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tab, choose 2nd and 3rd+ connections, then select the necessary <\/span><b>Locations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Use advanced filters if necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve filtered the users, activate the LI Prospect Finder extension by clicking its icon in the toolbar. In the extension, choose the list to add the selected prospects (i.e. contacts) to. You can also create a new list by clicking the <\/span><b>\u2295<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button next to the list field.

Snov.io will set these automatically, but you can edit them if necessary. Click the <\/span><b>Find Emails and Save <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">button again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wait until the extension finishes collecting the prospects and click the <\/span><b>Go to list<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button. This will take you to your Snov.io profile and the list of freshly collected prospects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Step 3<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Manage the list\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the search is over, click the <\/span><b>Go to list<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button. A new tab with your Snov.io account will open where you can sort, filter, and manage the list. The added emails are already verified. After verification, every email address is marked with the respective indicator:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email not found \u2013\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #c4c4c4;\"><b>white<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">valid \u2013\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>green<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uncertain \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><b>yellow<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">invalid \u2013<\/span><span style=\"color: #c93030;\"><b> red<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snov.io doesn\u2019t just collect the contact details &#8211; it collects the full prospect profile. If you click the prospect\u2019s name, you will see the profile generated by Snov.io based on the contact\u2019s LinkedIn profile.

The pause between two searches is 45 seconds by default, though you can change it in the <\/span><b>Timeout settings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tab. Again, these timeouts are meant to prevent your account from being blocked by LinkedIn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to LinkedIn and filter the users by necessary parameters. At the bottom of the browser, activate Linked Helper, open the <\/span><b>Profiles Extractor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tab (the third one), and click the <\/span><b>Extract<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button.
