I basically scrape leads for people, mainly from LinkedIn and I'm charging on average 10$ per 1000 leads (emails or phone numbers).
Recently a client told me (After I already done the job haha) that the main reason he considered hiring me is my "dirty cheap" price, compared to online tools or other devs. I don't know if there's anyone familiar with this niche, if so what do you consider a good price to charge for LinkedIn leads?

PS : plz don't PM, This is not an offer
Thank you.

Not that cheap. I can get 1K LinkedIn well-tailored targeted emails @ $0.006 per unit.
Also depends on the volume. I would raise a bit if it's just 1K, maybe $15. But if we are talking about 10K or so $10 is fine.

Yes true, Bulk pricing is cheaper.
Thank you for your feedback.
 
You're very expensive IMO. Scraping at $0.01/result is insane.
It might be fine for small tests, but I can't see myself paying this rate for a large volume order.
 
IMO $10 per 1000 leads is a fair price. I’ve also seen multiple people with the same price on Fiverr.

What is charity is answering this post for free, you have done almost 0 market research and are expecting someone else to do it for you?

Almost all tools under the sun are under $0.01 bulk

Okay chill bro, I thought asking other freelancers on forums would be the best way to estomate the average pricing.
I scrape customized data maybe that's the difference

People have different kind of lead-gen needs. Did you do any "targeted scraping"?

Like did your client just provide you thousand or so linkedin profile links and all you did was scrape the details off of them. In that case, I would say 10$ is a fine amount for a 1000 links. Maybe your client did not search the market for existing and got quoted higher prices.

Thats likely also the kind of scraping folks here are saying is expensive charging 10$ for.

Or did you do the work of finding the links/profiles to scrape yourself? Like did your client gave you a certain demographic ("Lawyers, in Los Angeles, white male etc") then 10$ per thousand might be too low or decent enough based on what parameters you are building the demographic on.

Basically the more calibrated and targeted the demography, the higher prices you charge.
Hope it was helpful :)

Most of the time, clients will give me just a job title like "affiliate marketer" with a specific geo location, and I'll do the rest.
Last time, I had a client that wanted only male teachers in the US, and the price was 10$ per 1k,
So I often work on targeted leads.

That might be a task you would likely charge higher for imo, yes.
There are automated tools that do this to some degree, I don't know what their pricing is.

Check out these tools' pricing and compare your prices to similar gigs on Upwork and Fiverr, maybe that might give you a decent idea.
You might also ask your previous client what's a price they would have paid without them feeling its too cheap.

That was helpful, thank you mate.
 
I would test this out myself, no need to compare yourself to the masses, just increase the price by 50 - 100% and see if anyone is biting. If you lose 1/4 or 1/2 of your customer base, it's fine, as you're doing 2x less work for the same payment.
