Selling researched lists as a business?

I remember seeing some Indie Hackers selling researched lists as a business, but I searched the forums and can't find it anymore.

Example:

  • 100 websites to help you find a startup job
  • 30 best crypto investors on Twitter to follow for trading tips

Can anyone share examples of IndieHackers doing this? Would love to share notes with them.

I think the person I found before was doing it around Web3/Investing/Entrepreneurship/etc

    Explodingtopics is research as a service basically. Maybe also tweethunter (has a list of swiped tweets that have performed good, but it's just one of the smaller features of it).

    Thanks for kicking this off, @Jcm91ca!

    I recently launched whoraised.io which is a lead list for agencies containing businesses that have just raised funding and might require outsourcing.

      This is awesome. What backend are you using? How do you trigger the new lists every month?

    I actually am filing for a Non-Profit based on lists of chemicals relevant to different industries.

    https://www.globalchemistry.org/

    And providing new selected lists of regions of chemical space to explore as a way to make some money.

    It's working for me -- I sell a list of startup/SaaS ideas

    this is my plan for categorysurfers.com - I'm not sure what the form should be (subscription, one-time purchase, etc.)

    Interested topic, thanks @Jcm91ca!

    I agree with @divby0, research is a service, so in principle, it has the right to life. Although on the other hand, it is only for cheap traffic. Easy to create a product - easy to get cheap traffic.

    The problem is that it becomes a marker of something simple and not of high quality. Any lists for me are at the "Gradient Gallery" level, or "Notion Templates". In fact, they're actually very useful at times, but because it's not that hard to do, there are thousands of them, and the competition doesn't make the product better. Makers only come for fast and almost free traffic or some kind of income from it.

    I can do a lot of them on demand.
    For example:

    1. Top content on Twitter in specific niche last month
    2. Top content on LinkedIn in specific niche last month
    3. N influencers in specific niche on specific social media

    And many more.

    But does it make sense?

    1. 1

      Yes, I'm leaning toward doing it manually every month, and pro-rating them for the first month, and then batch sending on the first of every month.

    Sounds like you are looking for @zerotousers who has major success (IMO) with his work.
