📝 Patey’s Update

I’ve now moved my private community off Skool to Discord and will be opening it up again with a new membership tier, likely trying Whop next, recommended by Cassie in the community.

But I’ve never been more bullish on Skool for free communities, to use as a funnel and as a marketing channel that can bring in new customers through Google (more on that at Community Operators). However if you take it to extremes, and spam the Google index, you will eventually get clapped:

I’ve had my first client at my new fractional CMO service at Patey.Marketing and it’s a nice change to be able to use my full skill set rather than productize each piece to sell. And I’ve just relaunched my AI automation productized service targeting a niche that I used to work in before online business, helping UK charities write successful funding bids at WhyNot.Bot.

📊 Website Investing

There were currently 3 new 7-figure listings I saw on Flippa over the last week. One is a service business (animal certifications and dog training) for $40M, the second is a branded health supplements ecom business on Shopify for $1.2M (but listing didn’t mention/link to the domain), and the third is a generative AI SaaS platform for $10.5M.

But going forward I’m just going to be looking at 6 and 7 figure ‘websites and online businesses’ in the ‘content’ and ‘ecommerce’ sub categories that are under First Access (21 day head start). There is one new that meets this criteria since last week:

• 🛒 Ecommerce: 2 year old Amazon FBA business, (although coming up as a ecommerce store on Flippa as does have a Shopify) in a growing popular sports niche (mentioned in the unlocked listing description). Business has moved into college licensing deals and wholesale and is stated to be making $4K/m profit, with a $160K asking price (3.3x multiple) - Listing URL

🔗 Crypto Investing

Bitcoin hits a new all-time-high of $75K on the back of Trump winning, and total volume is up 130% over the last 24 hours! Solana has pumped the most out of any major a +12% gain, currently at $187 (wish I’d bought more sub $20!).

It’s also a great day if you’re holding equities, with $COIN +31%:

As mentioned in previous issues, this was always around that point in the cycle that things start to pump, and this election result seems to have kicked it off in style. Next year will be wild.

📣 Sponsor This Newsletter

The Rule of Seven states that a prospect needs to interact with a brand at least seven times before they’re likely to take action or make a purchase. Brand visibility in an influencer run newsletter should be valued as much as performance. This is why I price on CPM which starts at $70 for a single placement but drops to $30 in a bundle.

That’s it for this week, until next time, catch me in the community.

Cheers!
