🏁 Monday M&A: 39 Marketplace Listings

acquire.substack.com

Hey there 👋,

Last week I spoke on a panel at the Handycon conference on marketing decentralized domains. I’ve not covered Handshake domains in a newsletter for quite some time, so did a write-up in my new Digital Asset Investing editorial newsletter (at invest.beehiiv.com - come subscribe), here’s the post.

An editorial newsletter you say?

That’s right, this week’s newsletter is again sponsored by The Newsletter Is The Business, where I’m teaching how to funnel your website portfolio traffic into an editorial newsletter in a way where the newsletter itself can become its own business.

The product will be launching later this month at $247, but until then you can get access at the prelaunch price of just $97. Sales have been going well:

Ok on to this week’s listings, it’s a bumper crop…

Cheers!

🚀 Marketplace Listings

I look up each listing in Ahrefs and give a 📈 if 6 month organic traffic is trending up, a 📉 if it’s trending down, or 🫓 if it's flat.

I also take a quote from the listing page - these are not my words, do your own due diligence and/or use a service such as Centurica or DueDilio.

I then list a couple of 👍 upside wins for each listing from the Top 20 Upside Wins for Website Acquisitions insights report (in partnership with TreasureHunter) to apply to any new website acquisition.
