Monday M&A: 38 New Marketplace Listings

11 new content sites at Motion Invest (making > $100/m), 23 at Flippa (making > $100/m) 3 at Empire Flippers, and 1 at Investors Club

February 27, 2023

Hey there 👋,

This week’s newsletter is sponsored by me.

After last week’s M&A email, I pre-launched The Newsletter Is The Business where I’m going to be teaching how to funnel your website portfolio traffic and existing lists into an editorial newsletter in a way where the newsletter itself can become its own business.

Sales have been going pretty well:

I’ll be launching at some point in March, where the price will be either $197 or $247, but until then you can get access at the prelaunch price of just $97.

Ok on to this week’s listings.

Cheers!
