Can you create profitable ScrapeBox Business?

[TheDevGuru]

Can you create business by offering ScrapeBox services to other companies?

Any... suggestions?

Not directly. For example, you can find expired domains using SB and sell them to companies.

Sure But Scrapebox has like a thousand functions.

so its more like figure out what you could and then figure out if scrapebox can do that.

Your solving a problem when you sell something, so what problems do companies have that you can solve with scrapebox?


you could scrape google maps data and then scrape emails from that and then send cold emails for companies. As an example.

It kind of depends on who you are targeting really.

Loopline, I haven’t seen you in a while. That is a pretty good idea and I didn’t know you could do that with SB. It’s been years since SB’s catching rust on my VPS. Time to give it a try once again…for old times sake.

Btw, how have you been?

The tool doesn't even work...their google maps is broken and I have been sending emails to support for more than a week BUT no response. Their Yellow Pages premium plugin is also broken. And today just now scrapebox site doesn't work and I am not even able to see any plugins data.

I have deep respect for you @loopline as your videos were amazing and am surprised how you support such company which doesn't even bother responding to customers to resolve thier issues. No wonder they are not present on BHW as they are probably afriad of customer backslash!

@loopline Can you confirm this?

Till now it doesn't work! I just tested minutes ago, upted to recent googlr maps version and their recent update just adds delays and nothing going on. Support isntresponding for many days now!

Scrapebox is quite outdated these days, I think you'd have better luck making your own scripts for what you need it for

Scrapebox still has it's uses but I doubt you'll be able to run a full business using it. It'll be a piece of the puzzle at best - scraping, processing lists of urls etc. Data brokering services usually require a lot more 'data enrichment' nowadays.

Start by offering one or two services to test the market. Use platforms like Upwork to find initial clients and build a portfolio.
ScrapeBox has been regularly updated since 2009 with new features and add-ons. Keep an eye on its website and forums to stay up to date on the latest features, as this will keep your product competitive.
The unofficial ScrapeBox FAQ and tutorials provide free guidance on how to use the tool effectively. Use these to hone your skills and create marketing materials.
As demand grows, consider hiring freelancers or working with an agency provider to handle larger projects.

For any such work, the tool has to WORK first....its broken in terms of their premium plugins! Google maps plugin doesn't work! Yellow Pages plugin doesn't work and they don't even respond to support inquiries for weeks so not sure if its alive! I wasted $200+ on recent subscription purchase and regret it.

 

[RA007]

Scrapebox is well respected name in the industry. Unless they are exiting their support should be able to help you. This tool has been around for as long as I can remember

Yes that made me buy it BUT its been more weeks their are NOT fixing their google maps & yellow pages plugins and stopped responding to email. Even their latest releast on google maps premimum plugin doesn't work!

Just b/c they have been around doesn't mean it will last forever. Its a continuous development work and need active response from the vendor. Probably that's why they removed themself from BHW as well so customers cna't complain!

LOL, and off that rust and give it a go!

Im good mate, between building a business helping businesses and 4 kids, I stay busy!

How are you?

@loopline Can you confirm this?

The data center that a couple of their servers were hosted at, the entire data center went down for like a day. So yes it was down and back up now.

as for the rest, try it. It all works for me. They have been releasing updates like crazy because google and yellow pages broke a bunch of stuff and keep doing it. You can look all over the forum here, all the mass google tools were affected.

but as for it working, google maps and yellow pages all work for me with the latest versions of scrapebox the plugins and engine files.

does it work for you?

How are you?

That sounds great. Need to start a family myself soon.

I am good, thanks for asking. It's been years since I've used SB. I completely forgot that I even have that software.

I use ScrapeBox for 5-6 years and @loopline helped me a lot through his videos, but through all the support on his website and pointing us in the right direction, etc... Actually I worked for a few companies using ScrapeBox for them and still do... Just thinking about like GSA contact form marketing, or creating Lead Lists... How much would that benefit companies... I'm fine for now just thinking how could I expend this further... I was wondering if people earn 2-5-10k a month per client using ScrapeBox for them LOL....

BTW you can find work with ScrapeBox on upwork... You can also work for Marketing companies with it as well LOL...

Peace!

 

[RA007]

@loopline is Godsend and amazing with his awesome videos and guidance..learned so much bc of his yt videos. BUT Scrapebox support...just doesnt bother to respond!

And @loopline their YT and Google maps latest versions still dont work for me and it's been 12 days waiting for support to respond. It might be some config issue but u have to admit that their support need to respond to customers!

Its working for me. I mean google made bunch of changes, so its been up and down but working at the moment.

have you checked your security software? Avast and Kaspersky especially have been known to cause issues with scrapebox, but you can add an exception for the entire scrapebox folder in all security software.
