Wheather you're looking to buy or sell a website, choosing the right broker can make a huge difference. Here's my rundown of the best options out there: 1. Empire Flippers: These guys are the big dogs in the industry. They've sold over $380 million in websites and have a 77% success rate. They're great for sites worth over $100k, but they do take a 15% commission for sites under $700k. Pro tip: They send out new listings every Monday at 10 AM PST. I sold a six figure website on Empire Flippers. 2. Flippa: This is the largest non-vetted marketplace. It's great for smaller sites and beginners, but be careful and do your due diligence. I sold a website on Flippa. 3. FE International: These folks specialize in bigger deals, usually $1 million+. They've been around since 2010 and have a 94.1% success rate. They're pros at selling SaaS, content, and eCommerce sites. I have sold with them. 4. Investors Club: This is a newer player (launched in 2020) but they're making waves. They offer zero buyer fees, free legal docs, and a cool 24-point due diligence report for paid members. I helped set up the process for what became Investors Club after selling Flipping Websites to Andrej, who then sold to @Elena Buetler. 5. Quiet Light: These guys have been around since 2006 and have sold over $300 million in websites. What's unique is they hire staff with entrepreneurial backgrounds who've actually bought or sold websites themselves. I once interviewed the founder Mark Daoust on a Flipping Websites podcast. 6. Motion Invest: Good for smaller content sites under $30k. They even do Dutch-style auctions where the price drops until someone bites. Have interviewed both the founders on previous podcasts and been on Spencer's Niche Pursuits podcast. 7. Website Closers: These folks focus on tech and internet businesses. They've got a team with deep industry knowledge. Have no relationship. Pros of using a broker: - They handle the vetting process - They often provide escrow services

Really liking this new (to me at least) platform by Ross Gerson (ex Empire Flippers) currently in beta https://acquiringdigital.com/ - it aggregates listings from all the top brokers/marketplaces and totals up the amount of deals, almost four billion dollars! What do we think the blended average sales commission is for the industry now, 8-10%? That makes over $300M in commissions to be sold/won right now!

Interesting looking at all the new Flippa categories: • Digital Agencies • AI Apps & Tools • Crypto & Blockchain • Plugins & Extensions • Gaming Community has to be next! Also interesting how newsletters seem to be tied with youtube and social media in the same category? So many niche marketplaces have been launched over the last couple of years, I can't help but think that almost all will get crushed attempting to compete with the unit economics of Flippa. However, some such as https://gomerge.com/ appear to be doing very well by just focussing on one niche, i.e. digital agencies in their case. Thoughts?

I really like how Flippa has integrated Partnerstack directly into their platform so you get a button underneath each listing you can promote with one click. For example why wouldn't you promote a SaaS listed for $90M and earn $540K! But I've always loved me a leaderboard and seeing me at #31 on Empire Flippers is making me have to get into the top 10!

Do we have something like that?
