S02E01: Introduction To Buying Websites

March 15, 2016 by Justin Cooke Leave a Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LIST

 

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.

Whether you’re looking to sell your online business in the next few months or just a curious entrepreneur, the “What’s my business worth” question is an important one.

We could have made this podcast pretty short – it’s only worth what a buyer’s willing to pay for it – but where’s the fun in that!

There’s quite a bit to think about regarding valuations and we wanted to dive into those issues in this podcast episode. We’ll look at some common misconceptions when it comes to business valuations, cover some valuable “rules of thumb”, and dig into our tips to getting the best multiples or valuation when it comes time to sell your business.
