S03E10: Seller Final Steps

August 16, 2017 by Justin Cooke 1 Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LISTWe’re SOOO close…now let’s wrap this deal up!

In this episode, we look at some of the final steps you’ll need to take to close the deal and then look at both post-sale support and some next steps you can take after an exit.

 

Many sellers start spending the cash before it’s even hit their bank account, but that’s a REALLY bad idea. The deal isn’t done until you’ve got the money in the bank, so you’ll want to be careful all the way through the process.

So…what’s next? We’ll look at some of the smart-money moves you can make that allow you to celebrate the sale, but also put that money back to work for you.

This is the LAST episode of Season 3 and wraps up our Seller Series. We hope you enjoyed it!

S02E01: Introduction To Buying Websites

If you’re interested in the idea of buying websites and online businesses, but have NO idea where to start, this is the episode for you.

We’ve had quite a few requests from new buyers that we cover topics that are unfamiliar to those not in the industry. We decided to make Season 2 (10-ish episodes) and dedicate them to walking you through the buying process, star to finish.

In this first episode we get back to basics and look at the different types of websites and how they make money. We’ll also dig into some of the basic strategies website builders employ to build profitable websites and online businesses.

If you’re NOT new to buying online businesses, you might want to give this one a pass. (Unless you’re so stoked the show’s back that you just can’t help yourself!) No worries – we’ll be diving much deeper later in Season 2 when we get to due diligence, negotiating deals, etc.

While Season 2 is really dedicated to buyers, potential sellers might do well to learn a bit more about the buying process to better understand their potential customers.

If you dig the show, make sure to stop by iTunes and leave us a review! That’s the best way to support and encourage us to keep it running.
