Just like you mentioned Find that lead, I’d suggest another useful tool to growth hack lead generation and build a list of bloggers that you can reach out to over email.
It’s called leadbunnies. A chrome extension that can build a list of 1000+ email leads in 10 minutes. I bet you should try it out. Great for outreach. Not limited to bloggers only 😉

Agreed. I had the same experience. I am out $264 after their 7 day “free” trial expired. They let the end of the trial sneak up on you and then charge your card without notice. When I contacted support to request a refund, I was scolded about needing to grow up and read the terms and conditions before signing up for things.

Here’s a sample from Kitija at NinjaOutreach

“Well, I do not want to even count how many times I have forgotten to cancel similar trials. However, in the adult world there are terms and conditions and I knew that it was my responsibility so I just moved on.”

We signed up for the trial, prior to the trial ending we asked for help downgrading to the monthly plan which we saw mentioned in their user panel. However, we received an automated message saying they’re away and will be back on Monday. Then, later that day we were charged $621 USD for a year’s subscription.

I assumed it was just an automated error, and contacted them to get the funds returned as we had notified them prior to ending the trial that we wanted to proceed with a monthly, not yearly plan.

The customer support were quite rude and said that they couldn’t find proof of my message and that per their TOS they wouldn’t be giving a refund. I found the chat log quite easily and sent them the proof about it. The customer support agent ‘Tarek’ never replied after that, despite sending many messages – and despite seeing him coming online/offline numerous times over the following days.

Eventually, a different person came back to us and said that the ‘monthly’ option described in the back end (which had then disappeared) was actually a quarterly option, and was part of an A/B test that was being removed, but they could switch me to that quarterly option as a one-off and refund the difference.

I was pretty annoyed about that, as:

1 – You can’t list a ‘monthly’ option but then say that you have to pay 3-months at a time – that’s a quarterly plan, not monthly. They’re two different things, with the latter being 3 times the cost. It’s just false advertising and if you made the error, as a company you need to make that right with the customer.

2 – If you were running an A/B test you can’t withhold $621 of a customer’s funds because they tried to use the function described prior to the trial ending, but the function disappeared and you didn’t help the customer quick enough.

At least we did get a partial refund, but we’re definitely not happy about it. I might have actually been a happy customer and even recommend this tool to other people had their support been better, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend anyone to try it now.

Awesome post with great post. I like the following tools that you have listed and your all the mentioned tools are great and effective for building relationships. As we know that building relationships are very important in blogging platforms whereas all the tools that you have provided will be helpful and helps a lot to build relationships.

Hello, Janice! With the exception of FindThatLead (which offers 10 free email searches a day), all tools listed above require a paid monthly subscription.
