🏁 Deal Flow: 29 Website Listings & News (Apr 10)

29 new content site listings, Content at Scale 2.0, plus a new Patey Product

Together with

Hey there πŸ‘‹,

Two news updates before we get to this week’s deals:

1) Content at Scale has just had a big 2.0 update, with a new UI and more options for generating long-form content. You now have a new option to create from an existing blog post URL (as well as from a youtube video and even podcast episode):

I just tried this on a soon to be competitor and it generated just under 5,000 words (!) for a top 10 software review style post. The content was strong, and I'll be publishing it with a bunch of other posts on an old/new site - will reveal in due course. You can use this link to get 20% more post credits on any plan you choose.

2) Following on from my newsletter product (which is most suited to my new Creator Funnel newsletter on beehiiv) I've just created a product for this newsletter...

Introducing the Acquire The Web Manual, everything you need to know for buying and selling websites and aged domains:

I've priced it like a tripwire product (although there is no upsell), at just $49.

Ok on to this week’s content site and aged domain listings.

Cheers!

πŸš€ Website Marketplace Listings

This week there were 5 new content site listings at Empire Flippers, 17 at Flippa (based on my criteria below), 2 at Motion Invest (>$100/m) and 5 at Investors Club, for 29 in total:

For each listing, I look up the website in Ahrefs and give a πŸ“ˆ if 6-month organic traffic is trending up, a πŸ“‰ if it’s trending down, or πŸ«“ if it's flat. Bear in mind the site could be seasonal however.

I then list an πŸ‘ upside win for each listing from the Top 20 Upside Wins for Website Acquisitions insights report to apply to any new website acquisition.

You’ll need to do your own due diligence and/or use a service such as Centurica or DueDilio.

One-click AI content that is good enough to publish. Enter a keyword, give the AI some context (optional) and generate 2000+ unique words designed to outrank your competition. Plans start from $150/m for 4 posts.

Over the last 15 years I've been through a large number of web hosting companies, from the cheap providers right up to the most expensive premium Managed WordPress Hosting. WP Bolt is the only host I've felt that has got my back.

Keeping WordPress installations up to date sucks, use WorkHero (by my buddy Kevin Koskella) so you don’t have to. Plus content creation, publishing, troubleshooting & more all for a monthly package.
