Method: The "Local Business" Data Broker
The Idea: Find simple, publicly available information online and sell it to local businesses who are too busy to look it up themselves.
Why It's Lazy: You're not creating anything, just organizing existing info. The tools do the searching for you.
Steps:
1. Pick a Service Type: Target a local business that relies on new leads. Good examples are roofing companies, landscapers, real estate agents, or junk removal services.
2. Find "Leads" Using Google Maps: Open Google Maps and search for a service in a specific area. For example, "roofer in Dallas, TX" or "landscaper in Miami, FL."
3. Scrape the Data: Go through the search results and look for businesses with old, terrible, or non-existent websites. Many small businesses have a Google Maps page but their online presence is a mess. Collect the following information into a simple spreadsheet:
  - Business Name
  - Owner's Name (if listed)
  - Phone Number
  - Website URL (or note if it's missing/broken)
4. Package the Information: You don't need a fancy product. Your "product" is a simple list of 20-50 businesses in their area that need help. Call it something like "Miami Landscaping Leads - Q4 2024."
5. Sell It for Cheap: Find these business owners on LinkedIn or just call them. Send them a short message:
  "Hey [Name], I put together a quick list of 30 landscaping companies in Miami with outdated websites. I figured you or your web guy might find it useful for outreach. I'm selling the list for $20. Let me know if you want it."
The Angle: You're selling a tiny, specific list of potential clients for a very low price. It's an impulse buy. For a local business, $20 is nothing to get a list of leads they can contact. They see it as a good deal, and you did 15 minutes of work to find the info. It's completely legal and easy to scale.
