1. Sell Pre-Built Lead Lists to Local Agencies
Compile niche-specific lead lists (e.g., 500 dentists in Texas or 1,000 restaurants in London) and sell them to marketing agencies, SEO firms, or web developers who serve those industries. Agencies will gladly pay $100–$500 for curated, ready-to-use contacts that save them prospecting time. Pro tip: Offer custom list-building as an upsell for recurring revenue.

2. Offer Lead Generation Services to Small Businesses
Many small businesses want more leads but don’t know how to find them. You can offer a “Done-for-You Lead List” service where you scrape leads in their target area (e.g., local contractors, wedding venues) and deliver verified email lists for their sales outreach. Charge a one-time fee or monthly subscription for fresh leads.

3. Launch a Niche Directory or Newsletter
Use scraped leads to build a directory website (e.g., "Top Plumbers in Boston") or a niche newsletter featuring local businesses. Monetize with featured listings, advertising, or affiliate deals. With fresh contact data, you can reach out and sell ad spots or premium listings directly.
