Data Brokering Service
This business focuses on collecting and organizing data from public social media listings, particularly from Facebook groups and Instagram, and then selling this curated data to interested businesses.
Problem Solved
Businesses often lack access to specific consumer data that could inform their marketing strategies. This service provides valuable insights by cleaning and organizing available data.
Skills Required
Data analytics, knowledge of data privacy regulations, marketing skills to reach potential clients, and technical skills to manage and organize data.
Why this works now
Most businesses overlook the value of public data from social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. This data brokering service can monetize insights by scraping newly created Facebook groups and Instagram accounts. A first revenue move could involve targeting digital marketing agencies through Lenny's Community to sell curated data sets tailored to their client needs. A significant constraint in the first year will be navigating complex data privacy regulations, particularly GDPR and CCPA, which may limit the types of data that can be collected and sold.
