I have access to a large dataset of around 500,000 active whatsapp phone numbers belonging to people based in New York.
These are real, valid contacts, but there is no prior relationship or opt-in from their side.
I’m trying to figure out what are the legal, ethical, and practical ways to turn something like this into a business or income stream.
Is there any legitimate way to monetize such a dataset? What industries or models could make use of this kind of data? How do companies usually convert raw contact data into revenue? What are the risks I should be aware of?
Looking for honest advice from people who understand data, marketing, or business.
What would you do in this situation?
