I turned my cold outreach rejection data into a $19 product and someone might actually buy it

after 367 cold emails to marketing agencies and $0 in revenue, i realized something: the prospect list itself has value.

i scraped 1,000+ agencies across 54 countries. extracted emails from their websites. deduplicated across 257 batch files. cleaned out junk regex matches. ended up with 798 verified agency contacts.

that CSV is now a product.

why someone would buy this

if youre building an outreach tool, selling to agencies, or doing market research — scraping 798 agencies across 54 countries takes about 15 hours. i know because thats how long it took me.

or you could spend $19 and skip straight to the outreach.

whats in it

  • 798 unique agencies with verified emails
  • columns: agency name, email, website URL, region
  • 54 countries covered (AU, NZ, UK, US, CA, India, Philippines, UAE, South Africa, and 45 more)
  • CSV format, opens in excel/sheets/anything

what i learned packaging data as a product

  1. the data you collect doing your actual work often has more value than the service itself. i was trying to sell a $149/mo outreach service. nobody wanted it. the underlying data might sell for $19 because the buyer gets immediate value with zero commitment.

  2. price anchoring matters. i crossed out "$49" and listed it at $19. $19 is an impulse purchase. $49 requires thinking.

  3. the hardest part is distribution, not packaging. creating the CSV took 10 minutes. getting someone to find it and click buy is the actual challenge.

has anyone here successfully sold data products? curious about what price points and formats work best.
