Obviously, the reason hackers break into systems and steal data is because they want to sell it for nefarious reasons. But many legitimate businesses also sell data, or monetize it in other ways. In fact, monetizing data has become a significant revenue stream for certain types of businesses, so much so that pundits predict it will become the primary revenue stream in some cases.</p><ul>

You can create a supplemental revenue stream by providing access to your data (direct monetization) or use insights to improve your business services and operations (indirect monetization). Data monetization is not simply about turning over your existing data to another party. There are many other ways to utilize data that can impact costs or revenue.”</li>

The fact of the matter is everyone wants your data. What company wouldn’t? It’s some of the most valuable data out there – where your members shop, how much they spend, what types of vehicles they have, or what their credit scores are, etc. Instead of giving away the value of its data, a credit union must figure out a means to monetize that data for itself.”</li>

Just imagine, if they can monetize at 20 cents/mile, on 100,000 miles they make $20,000: A free car. For 30 cents/mile, they almost triple their profits and can give the car away. They can collect and sell drivers’ data, traffic data, micro-location weather data, state of the road data and so on. They can sell ads on the radio or on the GPS with CPCD (Cost Per Change Direction), coupons to restaurants close to your destination, audiobooks to listen in the car — a lot of things to monetize your time and location in your car.”</li>
