📝 Patey’s Update

Today, I’m launching a product about the opportunities AI agents bring to digital assets, both in business and crypto.

It’s been almost two years since I launched my last product on newsletter businesses, on the Gumroad platform, which proved popular. I sold the product attached to a newsletter about newsletters to Fred Kauber almost a year ago now, and became product-less again.

I don’t create products just for the sake of it, which is why I really respected the Authority Hacker team’s decision to stop selling their products on building niche sites once the game had moved on.

But one topic captured my obsessive personality a few months ago and hasn’t let go since.

AI agents are set to be incredibly disruptive, both in business and on the blockchain. To stay ahead, you need to leverage these tools—otherwise, you risk being left behind with all the other humans.

For example, nearly every aspect of marketing can already be automated with AI tools. The next step is creating autonomous agents that can collaborate with other agents to complete tasks. Your marketing team no longer needs health insurance. This is why I’ve been focusing so heavily on my Fractional CMO service—most small businesses and startups no longer need a full-time marketing director.

In AI Agents: Digital Asset Pros (the best name my chosen LLM and I devised within a 30-character limit), I lay out the case for AI agents, explaining how they boost profits and why they’re set to become your digital employees. I cover various use cases and highlight the AI agents available in different business categories, such as SEO, content creation, sales, and ecommerce.

I also explore the opportunities AI agents present in the crypto space, particularly on Solana, which is where my focus lies.

The product is on Whop - a new platform for me. Unlike Skool, Whop allows you to set one-time pricing instead of recurring payments. It also lets customers pay in crypto through a Coinbase Commerce integration. I priced it at $97, here’s the good looking Whop meta image:

The product includes lifetime membership to my Patey Club Discord community - now the only way to join since I closed my private Skool community. The core offering is a constantly updated Notion site, which currently looks like this:

I’ll likely be raising the price from $97 to $147 (and possibly higher) over time, just like I did with my previous newsletter product. As the value of the product continues to grow, increasing the price will allow me to run paid ads effectively and offer better incentives for affiliates to promote it.

Flippa was supposed to send me more deals to review this week, but it looks like that’s been pushed to next week. In the meantime, a friend asked me to objectively review an ecom deal listed on Empire Flippers, which happens to be owned by one of his friends—so that’s exactly what I did:

🛒 Ecommerce: This is a print dropship business on Shopify so I instantly like it seeing as I built and sold one of those back in the day. The EF listing states the biz was launched in 2020, sells personalized artwork and gifts and uses two suppliers in China. This too is interesting to me as I’ve been ordering similar print supplies from Aliexpress recently to test a potential new venture. Traffic is stated to come from Facebook and Google Ads—but looking it up in Ahrefs it has some decent search traffic. It’s ranking for over 2K keywords and bringing in close to 3K traffic, although 70% is to one page that ranks at position #4 for a 8000/m volume keyword. The business is averaging $5,500/m in profit and has a listing price of $159K (28x monthly profit). I really miss owning this kind of business - Listing URL
