How to extract email addresses from yellowpages with just one click.

I dnt know if you guys already know about it, but there's this amazing pc app called "Reoon yellow pages scrapper,this app scraps through pages of yellow pages to extract emails for you.

To get started, you download the app using the link below..

w w w.Reoon.c o m/download-yellowpages-scraper/
(Remove the spaces in www and com)
Note: the free version only scrap just one page for you but the primium version scraps unlimited pages for just $15/month...

Also make sure you have a vpn installed because the app will need it to access yellowpages since Nigerians arnt allowed to..

After downloading, increase your page limit to any amount you want(given you already upgraded to the premium version).

Lets say you want to search for emails of plumbers in dallas..there are two ways... to do that..

1 Enter yellowpages and search the the service and city and copy the link of the first page then past it in the box to start scapping
(Check first pics below)

2 Or input it manually in the box below to start,
(Check second picture)

When the scraping is completed, "running" will change to "completed"(third pix) once its done and you can then save as csv.. that's all....

The beauty about this app is that it also craws their website to scrap their mails ... it also supports extraction of emails from yelp if you have a .uk.. domain name

So those that dnt have the time to start searching for mails can easily use this app to scrap all the mails for their geo domains and keep in a csv file then use streak to import and outbound easily..

I was able to scrap mails for about 50 of my geo domains within two days and got more than 30,000 emails all stored in a CSV file.

Found this app 5 days ago and outbounded like 5 domains with the mail it generated and two got sold, so the mails it spits out are Truely from yellow pages and end user's website attached to yellowpages......

Enjoy.
Good job! I just realised you're the original poster of this. Blessings.

A question, please: hope YP didn't block your VPN after using the tool.

Yes you need to. One to open Yellowpages (nova vpn) and the other for the scraper to work (protonvpn).


Base on your other question Yellowpages has already blacklisted our ips that's why we use vpn.

UdechiHD:
Former Senate President under Shagari!
His enthronement to the number 3 position was one of the exploits of the Igbo when in authority. An Ogoja minority got the number 3 seat in government position.

VP Alex Ekwueme and others ensured that the whole south got their due. But the reverse is the case under Yoruba headship. If it doesn’t go to Fulani, the remaining crumbs is thrown to the SW.

Southerners should compare and contrast.

South under Igbo leadership

Below were the positions the south got under Igbo leadership (1979 - 1983)

No. 2,3,4 and 5


1. President - NW - Shehu Shagari
2. VP - SE - Alex Ekwueme
3. Senate President - SS - Joseph Wayas
4. Speaker - SE - Edwin Umezuoke (NPN/NPP Alliance)
5. CJN - SW - Justice Atanda Fatai William

South under Yoruba leadership - (2015 - 2023)

1. President - NW - Muhammadu Buhari
2. VP - SW - Osibanjo
3. Senate President - NC/NE - Saraki/Lawan
4. Speaker - NE/SW - Dogara/Gbajabiamila
5. CJN - SS/NW - Onnoghen/Muhammed

NB: Under the Igbo headship, the south took part in government decisions and the country were united and prospered. No official among the top 5 were undemocratically removed as Buhari did to Onnoghen etc. However, under the Yoruba’s the south are treated like second class citizens.
See them, what a pity! undecided Guy, this one na story for the gods o. Sorry is your case if you don't benefit directly from this dichotomy and you are still emphasising it.

Good morning guys... Even though u be gal, in this thread u be guy nah. Lolz.

Base on @ABCruz tutorial on Yellowpages.
Here is my own Update.

A friend here, tasted the stuff and just like me, he had little issues. He conducted a researched and found a free VPN one can use for the scraper to work.

The update:
1. Search on Google "protonvpn". Download the windows version.

2. After downloading it, install then sign up for a free account.

3. Change location to Japan.

4. Get nova vpn from chrome store inorder to access Yellowpages.

5. If you have a domain, e.g Dallasplumbers. Put plumbers in the service box and Dallas in the location box. Hit search. Copy the url and paste it into your Yellowpages scraper (reon).

6. Once it says completed, click on export. Type the name you want to save the csv file and also choose the location you want it to be saved then click save.

7. Viola!!! You are now a prince. To become a King, upgrade your account with $15 to scrape unlimited number of pages and locations.

#Jehovah bless you all. 9ja economy no go shame us.
Thanks for this, bro! Yahweh bless you.

A question, please: does it mean one needs two VPNs? You mentioned ProtonVPN and Nova VPN, which is why I'm asking. Thanks.

It's kinda difficult to see a good GEO on ED now or is it from my own end huh
I think it is. That's with respect to many GEO names reported sold here.

There are some that certain people sold and I do see similar but would be reluctant to register them, except there's a promo.

For instance, I registered one "best+city+keyword" in king yesterday. I normally consider such ONLY when there's a promo, but I had an itchy hand that yesterday. cheesy To even think I didn't plan to register any more names. huh

CBN should try and be efficient in there regulatory role
Na this kain thing dey pain me! Give wetin up? Na people like you dey give dem chance. Sorry for saying that.

Did you bother to escalate the matter to the CBN? What did they do or say?

When people ignore money like that because it's "little" to them, it gives the dubious folks wings to continue with their criminal act.

Just like about 2-3 years ago, a fellow I was discussing with mentioned how his banks deducted arbitrarily from his account regularly for SMS alerts - the amounts were like 10 or more more than standard SMS rate. He decided to not bother complaining since it's "little amounts."

Any bank that deducts N20 from my account will have to provide an explanation. cheesy

This same Access Bank charged me unwarranted fees on 25 March. I complained the next day and they didn't bother to reply. I had to contact them again on Sunday; still waiting for their reply. They have to explain what happened! Else, the countdown is on for dumping them.

Call me an Ijebu man if you will. Politicians can't cheat me and banks will also do the same.

You are right about earning more with no complaints by faking current region. I wonder how this can be solved.

You mentioned cutting time writing. What do you mean? You no longer write?

Some on this thread have put up the idea that you can actually make good cash (eg, $30/hour) using your Nigerian location. It all depends on being able to convince the client with your proposal and profile. What do you think?
I meant I have actively been trying to reduce my involvement in writing - for the stated reasons. I don't think I have submitted a proposal in like 2-3 months.

I am not sure it's just about your ability to convince. I think it also depends on what type of writing you do.

I don't do copywriting, ad copy, and academic writing, for instance. It's possible you might earn more if you do any of those, coupled with your ability "to convince."

So, securing jobs is not your issue. The second one is, being paid well for it. Are you able to charge at least $0.03/word for it ($30/1000 words)


About the native speaking. That's another problem. Some Nigerians have native level mastery in either American or British. There are others who are also native speakers by birth, because English is their first and sometimes their only language, even though born and bred in Nigeria.

But I have noticed that some potential clients don't listen or count this variable when looking for Native Speakers.
The answer to the bold is "No," and sadly so. While I won't describe myself anywhere near the best in writing, I believe I should be earning way more.

It's the realisation that it doesn't seem like I can get more that's part of why I noted that I have been trying to cut writing time. I rarely bid these days - I have not used up the free Connects Upwork gave me almost a year ago.

The non-native discrimination is real, even though I believe I write better than some natives grin, let alone the ogas I see here in Nigeria. I have noticed some of those I worked with were actually "middlemen" who probably got jobs on the grounds of being a native speaker.

Strange thing is that non-natives are often able to earn more without complaints when they choose to fake their country. But I don't think I will ever go down that road or I would have long done so.

meetme01:
To be candid, it's not easy to get jobs on Upwork has a Nigerian. Clients just want the work done but they are aware of our infrastructural deficiency. It takes extra work to proof you are capable of fixing it within the allocated time. I work on only one niche (data entry and data mining), I give samples and make sure my proposal is tailored towards the job. Still, nothing to show for my time and expenses.

I have been working there since 2018. I got verified last year. Till date, I have earned $130 including Upwork charges. This year alone, I have spent over $30 to buy coins and yet, no job.

Upwork is no play group at all especially for Nigerians.. Nigerian factor is embedded
Bro, I'd advise that you consider acquiring new skills or fine-tuning the ones you already have to enable you shift to another niche. The data entry category is inundated, more so than the writing category.

I started with web research, data collection, and data entry many years ago. But I had to learn a bit about writing to enable me transition to writing. The competition from the Indians was fierce, in terms of delivery time and cost.

I still do writing on Upwork today, if available. I mostly write how-to's and content addressing specific phenomena or topics (e.g. "What are cash discounting programs?" ). I don't do ad copies and the like because they require more than just ability to write IMHO.

There is competition in writing as well, but I think it's a bit better than data entry.

I have always flown the Nigerian flag and that hasn't really hindered me from getting jobs. The only downside I see, being a non-native, is that you usually get paid less - the more reason I have been trying to reduce the time I spend on such jobs.

However, this country could have told harder on me were it not mainly for those freelance jobs I get now and then.

Venue: Epik

Hold time: 9days.

I was motivated by the sales reports yesterday, so i decided to do follow up and discount my price and it sold. I give all the glory to God.


Please how do i get to push the domain as its not up to 60days.
Congrats, bro.

Make una see how God dey work o. The name sounded like one of the moving service-related names I had until this year. I had to go and search to see if it's one. Attached is what I found.

I was unable to sell either name at those prices. shocked grin I priced the names and some others out of desperation to sell something after several months.

The experience, however, played a part in me increasing initial asking price for later domains and I am still learning how that can help. One thing I have come to accept more is that pricing a domain that low can reduce it's value in the eyes of potential end-users.

And you reached this conclusion WITHOUT knowing the domain name, WITHOUT knowing this user's current domain name, and WITHOUT knowing ALL the keywords they are ranking on their site?

I am not saying you are ITK ooo, but you too much sha.
It's ITK jare. Feel free to express your mind. grin

The only thing I just think I got wrong was assuming that the name in focus was GEO. And that's because it's what I think many people, especially upcoming ones like me, around here target for liquidity and often have to do outbounding. I may be wrong.

But look at it this way: moving companies in, say, Cleveland, will more likely target a keyword like "Cleveland movers." From the perspective of this particular potential end-user, Clevelandmovers in king would be a risk because it's identical to the target keyword. That's what I was trying to correct.

But then, I am no authority in this thing. I was only expressing what I thought.

One of those things you see when outbounding.

If he said that, what of companies having something like city+movers.com? Does Google penalise them? They are top of the search for such keywords in some cases.

Combined with good SEO work, GEO names are winners! The fellow probably missed the memo.

Although the daily quota is 500, your account is yet to reach that level.

Based on your info, it means at the moment, you can only send about 40 messages or there about.

You should also take note of the time you do your outbound.

Let's say you have a daily sending limit of 40 messages and you outbound to 35 leads around 12 pm today.

You can only send 5 more messages until 12 pm the next day or you will get the error message that you've exceeded the daily limit.

In some cases, you would get a message from Google that your account has been blocked .

Not to worry though as your sending limit will keep increasing with time, as far as your sending reputation is okay, until it reaches the max sending limit (500).
Thanks for the explanation, bro. I appreciate it.

It's strange, though. This is an email address I have been using since last year. Something like this has never happened before. The more reason I am suspecting the Streak merge feature - I only started using it recently.

The funny thing was that I cancelled this particular merge after 19 mails have been attempted and consecutive failed delivery notifications have been received. I had not sent up to 40 yet.

I would have just stuck to my personalised Zoho address and avoided this headache. Just had to stop using that when I heard that most messages might be ending in spam folders with that. huh

Please does anyone here have an idea of what could be responsible for this message, "You have reached a limit for sending mail. Your message was not sent" in Gmail?

I got it while trying to send bulk emails (58) using Streak's mail merge feature. I started receiving failure delivery notifications as soon as the mails start sending.

Initially, I got "message blocked" for no reason at all - for like the first nine emails. Then comes the "You have reached a limit for sending mail. Your message was not sent" message.

I don't understand this because I rarely send up to 100 emails per day - learnt the daily quota is 500. I sent 70 yesterday and none today before trying to do the mail merge.

What could have gone wrong, please?
