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
what i learned packaging data as a product
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.
price anchoring matters. i crossed out "$49" and listed it at $19. $19 is an impulse purchase. $49 requires thinking.
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.
