Scraping Source
  • At A Glance...

    • What is it?Joining private niche-specific communities and scraping the leads from within their member directory.
    • Pros
      • Free personalization. Access to potentially better ICP-fit leads if it’s a paid community.
    • Cons
      • Would mostly rely on manual scraping, I believe, if behind a login.
      • Often will be a small quantity of leads.
      • No guarantee that people in the community are qualified leads, so might require additional ICP-qualifying steps.
  • Client types it is generally best for

    • Company Size?
      • Smaller companies where the owner is your point of contact & key decision-maker
