Day 013

Got my first lead from Google Ads.

It's a nurse.

I think I messed up the search terms.

I put:

Instead of:

Probably that guy was looking for "leboncoin" and didn't understand what was going on + filled their data

Cost me 13.25$ to get that "lead" though lol!

What I did

changed the search terms to "scraping leboncoin" and "acquisition données leboncoin" and that's it
updated my website to use a Google form instead of our custom WIP form

I am thinking of just actually building that Leboncoin scrapper and making a website tailored to it. Like, creating "leboncoin-api.com"

The goal is just to add +5k$ to my MRR, not to build the ultimate scraping business.

Vertical businesses are easier to build because there are less distractions.

Instead of creating 10 APIs, I can just focus on making something nice for 1.

Once Leboncoin comes knocking, I can just shut down the website, but keep the customers and then later on build a generalist API marketplace.

... which begs the question: why not start with something generalist in the first place?

The answer is that I want my efforts to be rewarded as soon as possible.

A generalist website will be confusing to new customers, and require more work to make it attractive.
