Free registration at the forum removes this block.I use Seamless.ai but here is a listI'm not in this scene and am curious what are the top 3 LinkedIn scrapers?
The reason I’m suggesting a service is so you engage the market in hand-to-hand combat. Find out what they will actually pay for, and who will pay for a service and who will pay for a tool. Your market can be broadly split between the DFY and the DIY (done-for-you vs do-it-yourself).Oh I see, very good idea.
Although I'm not too sure if my market would want or need that kind of service. Something to consider as an alternative.
Thanks

@DaRK9Wow, thanks. That's one hell of a list.
@GatsbyMag , how would you differentiate yourself from seamless.ai?
Great suggestion, I'll include it in the next update and notify you! I might also drop you a private message later to ask you a question or two. ThanksPlease, please, please make a "select all" button that selects the thousands of people that might come up in a search result.
This is a great idea. I love it.
I would 100% use this.
I believe he means something like, if you could scrape this data for other people and put it to use. For example, sales consulting, or lead generation for clients.Can you elaborate on "premium service"? Do you mean extra features?
I'd just copy the other models out there for payments. As for legal I've got it covered!How would you monetize it? Also I would look up about the legal side of your information use.
Good luck and crush it!
Awesome way to scratch your own itch!
I don't see a clear monetization strategy, though. Maybe with more features you can do a similar play to something like ClearBit or LinkedIn Sales Navigator? Aim to get acquired?
This is the part that's unclear to me. A solvable problem though, surely.
^^^ Exactly. Use the tool yourself and charge people for a service.I believe he means something like, if you could scrape this data for other people and put it to use. For example, sales consulting, or lead generation for clients.

I was following a guy called Cody Butler for a bit. He used LinkedIn to build his agency. He also offers (offered?) a LinkedIn managed service.
I'm in the recruiting business so I see a lot of value here, since networking on LinkedIn is too slow for the amount of prospecting we need. I have not tried other scrapers though, so my feedback will be a bit limited. For instance if yours exports to CSV while others do not, that is a big plus. It makes it much easier for use. What percentage of emails are you able to generate? Are you scraping emails that they have registered with their LinkedIn accounts? or are you figuring out what their emails are by crawling the internet? I'd love to see a tiered price, so one could try it and then increase it once it is proven beneficial for them.Interesting but it deviates from my business focus. As I'm the target market, I know why most people in my industry don't use "scrapers" or hire agencies & outsourced services.
My hypothesis was that some people on the forums might use Quiklist the way someone in my industry uses it, but it seems only a handful on this forum actually relate which is interesting. Definitely reinforces the idea of living where your market lives.
There are a ton of LinkedIn scrapers out there. What sets you apart?
Very good references, I'll take a further look at ClearBit's model. My primary focus is solely on customer acquisition and refining the tool with feedback.
I'm bookmarking some ideas from these replies already, so if this gets bigger, I can take another look at how I can implement them.
But at the same time, the downside of not monetizing this immediately is that people might solely be using it just because it's free. The question later on will be "is this worth $$$?" - the true test of value. Thanks for bringing that up, something worth thinking about this week.
@MetalGear curious what you think about monetizing too early/late?
@DaRK9
Good point, differentiation was the easiest part of setting this up, as MJ mentions, it's simply about understanding your audience and what actually brings value to them. I think MJ even mentions how a crowded marketplace gives more opportunity in Unscripted or Fastlane.
To keep this thread on track, I'm hoping people here who use Linkedin for prospecting can give Quiklist.io a shot and give feedback on its existing features and what they'd like to see added.
Appreciate the general business discussion so far, especially monetary, but the intention is really to get feedback on the product. I know there are some active businessmen here like @Andy Black - hope to get your feedback if this is actually useful for you.
Thanks!
