CONTENT SITES

📉 The State of the Industry

Empire Flippers just released their state of the industry 2023 and as usual it’s full of great insights for website investors.

First up, the average days on market in 2022 increased vs 2021:

As such, earnouts, either as fixed (time-based) or performance-based, increased significantly in 2022 vs 2021:

Content site business deals closed with 12 earnouts in 2021, which increased to 20 earnouts in 2022.

Advertising as a monetization has seen a big increase, with amazon associates sites decreasing:

Content site multiples saw a slight drop to 40.98x in 2022 vs 41.71x in 2021:

And this chart showing a 50% YoY sales volume drop is the most dramatic in terms of the tale of the tape with the online business market in general:

🏚️ How To Buy & Renovate Websites For Remote Income (Masterclass)

Matt & Liz from the eBusiness Institute come from an extensive M&A background, buying, renovating and selling websites valued up to $20M.

They were one of the first in the world to buy & renovate a portfolio of websites before marketplaces like Flippa even existed. They now teach beginners to reach 6 & 7-figure website portfolios to successfully replace their incomes.

They have trained some of the best website investors and brokers, including...

• Joe Burrill of Just Website Brokerage who started as Matt and Liz's student almost 10 years ago. Today Joe's is the #1 website broker on Flippa and has done over $4M in deals.

• Lucy & Gary started with no technical knowledge. But today they use their 6-figure income from their websites to do what they want and when they want.

• Mark & Silvia started with no website buying experience either. But now their websites bring in $10,000+ per month in semi-passive income.

They are running a masterclass, where you'll see how successful students are buying & renovating websites for leveraged income, including real examples of websites bought and sold.

Thanks to eBusiness Institute for sponsoring this issue 🙏

PODCASTS

🤖 Valuing Podcasts

It’s not often you see a podcast listed for sale, let alone the biggest one in our space, almost certainly Entrepreneur On Fire:

It has an almost 7x annual profit asking price, which is unlikely to be met, seeing as a considerable amount of the current value is from the host John Lee Dumas. If this sells, I’d think it would be a lot nearer to a 3x multiple than 7x.

But as someone who has sold two podcasts previously in private deals (Flipping Websites and Website Investing Podcast), it’s great to see podcasts becoming digital assets that I can feature in this newsletter.

No matter whether you select the the new wave box or the classic remix box, you will have a chance to reveal a rare:
