I was looking at acquisition marketplaces (there are a ton of them) trying to find early-stage products to buy/grow. It was a pain and I figured that meant it was also an opportunity, so I started curating the products into a newsletter.
The meat of it is pasted below. I hope it's helpful to anyone in the market.
I'd love some feedback, as this is super MVP. The main feedback I've gotten so far is that I need to include less data so that it's more readable and maybe reformat it. I plan to do that in the next issue.
Format = Description: Asking price | TTM profit | monthly rev | rev multiple | target | model
β = Data is unavailable
β = Data is unavailable
The symbol must be β .. Otherwise β catches more attention of the people
That's a great point, thanks!
I'm actually really interested in the content but ouch, hard to read...give me a table format if you're presenting it in that sort of form anyway?....the icons hurt my eyes a bit too....The descriptions could be snappier and more to the point too - e.g., "Tool that creates compelling cold emails using AI" = "AI Cold email generator'...."Personalized stock quiz that helps you find your ideal stocks" = "Personalized stock picker quiz".....and the beige font on white background is hard on the eyes too.
Interested in the content though!
Super helpful. thanks! Yeah, I think a table is the right move - I'll do that next week.
For the descriptions, I was basically just using what the sellers wrote (with minor edits), but I think you're right. It feels less cohesive when they're all over the place.
Interesting about the colors too, I'll switch that up. Thanks!
This resource is great, thank you! I was wondering if you were open to sharing what your experience has been like purchasing these micro SaaS products. What percent are you able to improve / fail? Would be very curious to know!
Thanks.
I'm new to it β I was looking for my first purchase and realized it was a pain, so I put this newsletter together. But I've spoken with lots of indie hackers doing it.
The best example I know of is @andrewpierno. He has done it 10+ times and 6 of them are in good shape. He offloaded the other 4 (I believe at a profit). If you want to learn about this stuff, check out his blog at XO.
I interviewed him about it here.
Thanks for the shoutout @IndieJames!
Awesome, thanks for these resources. Good luck!
Super cool idea!
Great advice, thank you! Will do.
Great start!
Thanks!
This is a great idea. I'd read this every single week.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
