Many buyers overlook one of the most valuable yet intangible assets that come with acquiring an online business. This episode features Ross Gerson, founder of DealSlide.com and a former broker at Empire Flippers. With extensive experience on both the buy and sell sides of online business acquisitions, Gerson shares key insights into the most frequent mistakes buyers and sellers make—and how to avoid them. The discussion covers several compelling topics, including Krause’s near-experience as a broker at Empire Flippers, a role Gerson had originally approached him for. Gerson also explains his transition into acquisition advising and consulting, detailing his work with WebStreet and his involvement in acquiring over 15 to 20 content sites. You will gain valuable insights into critical acquisition mistakes, such as the importance of direct communication with sellers, defining clear acquisition criteria, and navigating the transition period after a purchase. The conversation also highlights Deal Slide, Gerson’s marketplace that aggregates listings from over 20 brokers, streamlining the search process for buyers. Packed with expert advice, this episode guides anyone looking to buy or sell an online business, helping them maximize their acquisition strategy while setting themselves up for a successful exit. Let’s get started! Episode Highlights 03:00 Why Ross moved into online business acquisitions? 11:00 Ross learnings from being a broker at Empire Flippers 19:00 Get an extra from the deal! 25:00 Surprises in the seller's side 39:00 Where to find Ross? Key Takeaways ➥ Many buyers enter the market without a clear understanding of what type of business suits them best. Taking the time to assess personal skills, experience, and workload preference is crucial. ➥ New buyers often fear looking inexperienced, but embracing the learning process leads to better decision-making. ➥ Off-market deals are not always better. Broker-listed businesses provide structured deal flow and often undergo vetting, making them less risky. ➥ Some sellers don’t even realize their business can be sold, while others prioritize terms over the highest price. Understanding seller psychology can create win-win deal structures.

Over the last couple of decades the investing landscape has changed dramatically. From the dotcom era to bitcoin, it can be tough to keep up. But one thing holds true, those who are ahead of the curve, and had some foresight, have been able to make a ton of money. But how do you know which ones will be winners?I don't know about you, but I'm not much of a gambler. It's too damn hard to make money. I don't want to risk it on unfavourable odds. I'm a firm believer in the basic business principles that have stood the test of time. Strong leadership, a solid customer base, and of course… revenue. As flashy as something like NFT investing is, to me, if it doesn't make sense on paper, it just doesn't make sense.

"You have to go in with a plan to do it... and then go wholeheartedly, because that's gonna give you the best value in the sale." "A lot of entrepreneurs are doing 3, 4, 5 things at once. And if you let that business kind of decline or wither on the vine, you now have a declining asset." "My innermost superpower? A lot of failures and learnings from those failures." "We realize that building a team with infrastructure and support and paying them less is actually what they want." "If you're anything for everyone, you're not gonna be terribly successful for anyone at all." "It's better to have a niche... I make blue suede shoes. You want red dress shoes? I don't do that." "Once you do that and you pick your niche and you commit to it, you'll get everyone looking for blue Sue shoes and everyone else you can send away." "When they don't fit your niche, when they don't fit like what you provide, it's refreshing to tell them no." "There's money out there and they just need to find a place to park it and a good place that brings them the returns they're looking for."

You'll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes.https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Online businesses are being aggregated together in order to provide a more saleable concern, and so that private equity can be attracted. Many entrepreneurs don't even realise that their businesses are in a sellable state. Justin and Empire Flippers are helping business owners to hugely profitable exits. Often businesses are bought as platforms, where a company is purchased as a starting point, and several adjacent businesses are acquired and added to it. There needs to be a certain basic skill set for those who buy an online business, which limits the audience when it comes to potential buyers. BEST MOMENTS 'You need to think about having breadth and depth across your portfolio' 'We call it exits for the rest of us' 'The education's out there.

The early bird catches the worm. This is particularly true when it comes to investing. Early adopters often reap the biggest rewards. But if spotting a good investment before the business really takes off was that easy, everyone would do it. You need to find a business with a first-mover advantage. One that operates in a blue ocean. A business that has already established proof of concept in the short time they've been operational. A business like WebStreet. In this week's episode, we are joined by Kyle Kuderewski, the Operations Manager at WebStreet.Kyle joins us to discuss Webstreet's exciting new investment opportunity - the chance to invest directly into WebStreet itself and become an early adopter of a business at the forefront of an investing revolution. Kyle breaks down the need-to-know terms of the investment, the benefits that investors can expect to receive, and how this opportunity differs from WebStreet's normal investment rounds. According to Kyle, “The big difference between this and investing in a normal round is it's a growth play versus an income play. With the normal rounds, you receive income through quarterly cash distributions. With this new investment, you actually own an equity stake in Web Street as a company and benefit from the growth of the business. If you think about it, you're owning a piece of all those other businesses we're investing in” Kyle goes on to explain how WebStreet plans to spend the growth capital raised (growing their audience and adding all the bells and whistles to their platform). He also announces the introduction of WebStreet's WeFunder campaign, an investment opportunity that allows non-accredited investors to get in on the action. If you want to be an early adopter instead of a bystander, listen to this episode to learn how you can take advantage of this rare investment opportunity!
