Web Scraping = Opportunities
Web Scraping businesses are incredible! 🚀
It's like conjuring money from the digital ether (using freely available datasets).
It works in 3 simple steps: 1️⃣ Identify a freely available dataset floating around, waiting to be re-organized, tracked, or cleaned. 2️⃣ Scrape that data. 📊 3️⃣ Organize it and launch. It's that simple! 🌟
Check out these examples:
☑️ CamelCamelCamel is an Amazon price tracker that lets you view price history charts, set price watches, and receive alerts for price drops. Users set their desired price for an Amazon product, and CamelCamelCamel notifies them when it hits that mark. With an annual revenue between $10 million and $15 million and monthly maintenance costs around $11,000, its business model thrives on ads and affiliate links. Opportunity ✨: The UI could use some work—there's room to create something similar with a better user interface!
Another gem: ☑️ Imagine collecting song lyrics from various websites and creating a platform like Lyrics.com where users find music based on words or phrases. A $20M-a-year business with substantial staffing. Opportunity ✨: The UI isn't great. Enhance it with a better design and AI recommendations for a fresh take on music discovery!
Not just lyrics, consider this: ☑️ Active Artist serves booking agents in the touring music industry, merging data from Spotify & YouTube APIs with additional paid data sources. The founder reports the business is flourishing! Opportunity ✨: Innovate within niche data aggregation for specialized markets.
Or perhaps something simpler:
☑️ Start a Recipe blog focused on Japanese cuisine by scraping sites like Tesco Real Food. Select a sleek UI, organize the recipes, and voilà!
Opportunity ✨: Enable direct ingredient ordering from the recipes. Collaborate with services like Instacart for a seamless experience!
Web Scraping isn't limited to these ideas—there's a universe of untapped data out there.
Free Data = Endless Opportunity 🌈
