I watch your videos 3x. Once to learn what I can do. Then to get the concepts. Again to get over the speed bumps. You're my favorite. THANK YOU for teaching this info.
Hey Jono, I think it is a brilliant system thank you for the tutorial! It is literally free but there is no free plan with Lemlist on the long term just for 14 days which is good to test the system. Do you have any suggestion to use an another system?
Hey, great question! If you're looking for a free alternative, you could integrate in your Gmail account (you can do this I believe with a free account but the set up will be quite complex), however you couldn't do complex email drips. However, ultimately I'd personally use one of the email providers and from what I've seen, they're all paid, such as Lemlist, Mailshake, instantly.ai
Great video, just a question- when I click 'run once' the name that is added to the spreadsheet is always the same name that we added in first, how does the automation scrape the whole list into the spreadsheet? I am using the apollo-io-scraper so i want to scrape several thousands
Hey there, great question! In module 3 'parse JSON', we're loading in sample data. The reason for this is because if you're in the testing phase of setting this up, it can take quite a long time to run an Apify scraper. Once you're ready to try on real data, you can simple remove the JSON module, and re-map the variables to the Apify 'get dataset items' in module 2 (mapping just means, that you're referencing the right module for the correct information). Just as an FYI, after I published this video, I realized there's some limits on the specific Apify actor I used, in an effort to save people money. If you encounter a scraping limit, you can try the Apify actor curious_coder/apollo-io-scraper. This is $45/month - you can rent it for free for 3 days to try it out and see if you like it, and cancel if you no longer want it
Hey! I'm not too sure I understand what you're trying to extract, but it seems quite specific. I'd recommend building something like this in Make.com to achieve your goals: ua-cam.com/video/tgHELlJ-EW8/v-deo.html
Hey Becky, great question! Here are two videos where I break down how you could automatically scrape leads and send them a lead magnet: 1. Social media calendar: ua-cam.com/video/LLKI_cV7XI4/v-deo.html 2. SEO audit: ua-cam.com/video/qwsB72PhM3E/v-deo.html Please keep in mind you'll have to merge the lead magnet offering with the leads scraped from Apollo here, or just scrape the leads from Yellow Pages / GMB / any other source :)
Hey there! You can sign up to Make.com, Apollo and Apify for free to try this out. Not entirely sure what you mean by a specific way - if you could elaborate on that, that would be great. Ultimately, I just wanted to show how you could find leads through Apollo very quickly by scraping the data and exporting them into a Google sheet
Hi I copy past json from apify in Maje but i have an error IMLError Function 'if' finished with error! Function 'validateInputJSON' finished with error! Please check that your input is a valid JSON.
Hey there! Have you tried downloading the blue print I provide for free? It should work properly. The error you're encountering is because the JSON data isn't structured properly. JSON data is very sensitive, these errors come up often. Can you tell me the exact time stamp you're encountering this error so I can look into it - I assume you're running into this issue at module 1 in the Make.com scenario, correct? Here's how I'd solve it: 1) download my blue print, it should work: jonocatliff.gumroad.com/l/jfhpw 2) reset the Apify actor, try again. When changing the code, make sure to leave in any quotations "", or commas ",". Do not add any special characters such as the following 3 characters: quotations "", or quotations '', or quotations ``. Make sure there's always a comma after each key-value pair (i.e. "language": "en"), with the exception of the last key-value pair, which cannot have a comma on it. 3) ask ChatGPT to restructure the JSON code for you so that it works with Make.com.
@@jonocatliff hi, chatgpt tells me that there is no problem is the codz, and i just copy paste the json code from apify in the apify module without changing any thing :/

I'm not familiar with Instant Data Scraper, but if it's the chrome extension, it's much more of a manual process at first glance. With what I built out here, you could set it and forget it and rotate through as many different filters that you'd like (job title, location, etc)
@@jonocatliff thanks Jono! I tried using instant data scraper on Apollo and it only let me find 100 pages worth of leads (when there was 2,700 pages worth of leads). I'm assuming this scraper can scrape all the available contacts that are on Apollo?
Hey Matthew! Hmm, it could be the actor itself. Maybe you could try another one, such as the curious_coder/apollo-io-scraper. This one is $45/month, but you can rent it for 3 days to try and see if this works. If not, you can cancel
Hey there! Thanks for letting me know. I think it's a problem with the actor. It's meant for a lower volume of lead scraping through Apollo. If you want to give a higher volume a try, you can try this actor: curious_coder/apollo-io-scraper. This is $45/month - you can rent it for free for 3 days to try it out and see if you like it, and cancel if you no longer want it
I'm a recent subscriber and love your content but you probably shouldn't specify any number for the leads. Using the same scraper here and it is dependent on how many credits you have in Apollo for emails, which is why most people scrape volume. Check the closed issues in all Curious Coders scrapers when the issue is limits. He always comments with the same list and one of the items is "check your available email credits". Pretty disappointed with this one.
Hey Christopher, thank you very much for the feedback, I really appreciate it and it goes a long way to helping me improve for future videos. Reflecting back, you're 100% right, and moving forward I'll be much more conservative with the numbers I mention. I guess in my mind, I was thinking about the average businesses needs, which is not a whole lot usually, and projected that out in this video. Thanks once again :)
@@jonocatliff yes. Got blocked for 24 hrs using apify. Had business account and wait time was 150s. After 1000 leads you'll get banned for 24 hrs so no use.
"Leads for free" its in the title of the video.... 2min into video " $0.01 cent per lead its probably worth it for ya " Its funny how a scamer, like a bait and switch youtuber, actually gain followers
Hey there, thanks for the comment. You get $5 worth of free credits on Apify, and the Apify actor costs $5 per 1,000 leads, so you get 1,000 leads per month for free. This is already more than what the majority of businesses would require for lead generation on a monthly basis. What I said was if your value you time at more than like 1 cent per lead, it's probably worth it. I'm not quite sure you'll find anything cheaper than this if you're planning on acquiring leads at that volume, unless, of course, you're happy to spend weeks of your time doing so. For comparison to acquire leads on Bark.com/Angi's List, it's $20+ per lead, Google Ads, $50+ per lead, and SEO would be $20+ per lead if you hire a team to grow you online presence.
Hey there! Thanks for the reply. Apify provides you $5 worth of credits on a monthly basis for free. The cost of the actor in this video $5 per 1,000 leads, meaning you'll be able to scrape 1,000 leads monthly for free. That's more leads than what the vast majority of businesses would need
