    The short answer is YES, it would.

    HOWEVER, there are already many people doing this and it's often times pretty scamy.

    The problem comes with getting the legit leads--nobody wants a bunch of robots or crap leads where everyone on the list is totally non-targeted.

    And if you lie and say they ARE targeted, then you'll get a bad reputation--and, well... it's entirely unethical plus it's just bad business.

    My question would be this: If you really CAN get that many targeted leads THAT quickly (on an ON-DEMAND kind of basis) then why wouldn't you just sell your own products or affiliate products to that list?

    That's what I would do.

      Did you notice the section I posted this in?

      When I say leads, I mean leads as in Business name, Business phone, Owners name and location.

    I don't think so all that data is available to the public already.

    You just have to ask your city usually where you file for a business license they can point you in the right direction.

    If we're talking business emails that are scraped for a certain niche in a certain location then yes I would see people buying that.

  • Definitely something worth pursuing I feel.

    It could be but ask yourself this, I someone was selling a list like this and you were the two hundredth person to look at it would you buy it known two hundred potential people had got in, in front of you and at least some of them would have taken action.
    List like this are easy to get, the real question is how can you make them more desirable to the people buying them, If you can answer that then there would be a good potential here, otherwise it’s just hit and miss.
