Terrible, terrible use of time.

But as we can see from these stats...

I mean, I built this in four days, like I mentioned, I probably saved over 2000 hours in what would have been manual data cleaning, manual data enrichment, also record low costs.

I mean, I would have to hire a developer to like write custom Python scripts before, and it's just not necessary nowadays.

So I built this in under 250 bucks.

$100 of that was my Cloud Code Max subscription.

Another $100 was for the data.

And then $50 for some Cloud API credits to do some deep cleaning, which we'll talk about in a moment.

So...

All you really need to get started is your directory niche.

Mine's luxury restroom trailers.

You need cloud code and you want an understanding of what drives decision making.

Like what do people actually need to make a decision around a luxury restroom trailer?

And you can just achieve that by looking at Reddit forums.

I think TikTok's great, Facebook groups, Instagram, anywhere where the conversation online is being had around the topic that you're building your directory around.

So as we can see, this whole process I'm about to go over is just the second step.

For me, I think my structured approach to building directories starts with finding the idea, collecting the data, building the website, SEO optimization, and then figuring out monetization.

So let's just start with the first step.

The first step is just scraping the data.

I just went straight to outscraper.
