Pheeds Leads - prospecting for customers on a budget

[Kurt]

PhantomBuster may be the single most underrated marketing tool. You never hear about it in IM circles, probably because it doesn't have an affiliate program (that I could find...I'd promote it if I could).

It has a 14 day free trial and then a very useful free level after that or go Pro for $30 a month. Depending on your level, PB gives you a number of "slots".This is how many "phantoms" (apps) you can have active at one time. The free level only allows one active phantom at a time. You can delete it and actiavate and use any other phantom, but each time you need to deactivate and activate a phantom if you want to use a new one. The $30 plan gives you 5 slots. There are also time limits for each level on how long you can run phantoms each day. The free level gives you 10 minutes each day. You can do a lot with 10 minutes.

PB has a lot of features, but for the context of this thread we'll use it to "scrape" information about people and businesses and format that info into a spreadsheet.

Here's a list of all the phantoms available to you:

Here's a few highlights:

One PB feature is that it hooks up with LinkedIn free, premium and sales navigator. Anything you can find using LinkedIn, PB can scrape the info and put it into a spreadsheet.

YellowPages Scraper - Scrape info for YP search results or for a list of businesses.

Google Scrapers - Google Maps data scraper and Google Reviews scraper.

Here's an idea for Google Maps. Let's say you run a sandwich shop. Scrape all the businesses in your area and send them a lunch menu through the mail. You can use PB and Google maps to collect data for all sorts of local B2B like window washing, janitorial, custom coupons, etc. You can sell these lists or even manage them as part of your marketing services.

Google reviews - It may not be a bad idea to print them on the back of a post card and send an offer to businesses about your online reputation management services.

Again, you get 10 minutes a day for free from PB. A single Yellow Pages search takes about 3-5 seconds of your time. You get plenty of free time for small jobs. The reason you'll probably want to upgrade is to get more slots. Unless you're doing some major scraping jobs, 10 minutes is plenty.
