Question about Scraping LinkedIn

hunter41904 said:

I would recommend getting JR. VIP, pay $150 then $30 for a sales thread. Offer Review Copies, and you will most likely get sales. If you can target lists based on niches and things like that, I think plenty of people here would be interested in this. However, if you want to maximize the utility of your lists, I would learn about email marketing and doing things like that. You can advertise additional things other than scraping LinkedIn. For example, you could say, you will promote people's products/services to your email list for a certain fee or percentage of sales or something like that. You could monetize your skills this way as well. Hope this helps!

If you don't risk it, there will be no reward. Only do it if its something you want to do. If it is your last $150 to feed your family, I'd recommend go working a little bit and come back to it when you have the extra amount to play around with. But think for just a moment. This community, it is very niche. There are over a million members. Even if you get 0.001% to be interested in your things? Man that is over 1,000 people. Go browse around. You will see what I am talking about. You will see it for yourself, Someone starts a selling thread, and it is good value to others. Then, people will see it and they will ask immediately for tons of review copies, or being interested in the service, and more. I know plenty of people who make more than 5x their salary or more in their country due to BHW by offering their talents, skills, and things like that. Immediately when someone opens a selling thread they have success of some sort. I believe in confidence that you would do well if you were to offer something like this. But you have to be a little bit more creative, you have to think. Why would people buy my service and spend money? Well the answer is, they want to make money too from your service. So you have to make it where you can somehow figure out a way to monetize the lists that you are building and start driving traffic, and doing different things from those lists. That is really my recommendation. You will make more with monetization of a list, than you will with selling a list.

My question is, will there be a buyers market for our service. We can sale whole databases and other stuff. I am good with programming but now with sales.

Will BHW forum be interested in this? If not, where can I find my potential audience?

Thanks to everyone in advance!

There's a huge market for this, it's just a matter of price. How much for 100k records?

Your idea has potential, especially considering the demand for targeted data.

Engaging in forums like BHW could definitely be beneficial, but don’t overlook niche communities where businesses actively seek leads.

Also, you can build credibility by offering free samples. Cheers Mate !

Don't want to be a complete jerk, but when he was making sample I showed him ex clients in software and plastic surgeons from Poland and as sample he sent me completely random people from Bangladesh and bangladeshis living in US, some of the leads were in textile manufacturing, customer service... Bro. Work a little on your service first.

You told me to send you examples of clients that I want so you could create sample based on that, all of them were polish companies, not from Bangladesh. Idk how polish medical and tech companies suddenly transformed into textiles from Bangladesh (I'm sure they're beautiful, but I never worked with a client in this niche). You told me someone before me ghosted you, now I understand why. Unfollowing this thread, good luck with your business, but work on quality first, then people will stop ghosting you.
