If you haven’t been to Flippa and seen the golden age of website buying and selling… oohhhhh baby are you in for a treat

Buying and investing in a digital asset is a fully involved experience and I often get asked my opinion on the buying side of the process.

How To Buy And Invest In Digital Assets

I’ll detail that here, but generally speaking, I would say that some buyers are hasty in their actions, perhaps pushed along by eager sellers, and many don’t work through a tried and tested process.

So, what should you do?

 

1. Establish a Criteria

Detail what you are looking for and why. Enter this into a spreadsheet and score each asset out of five for fit. (SICKKKK spreadsheets located in our course for your perusing pleasure). 

2. Document Non-Negotiables

It can be easy to get caught up looking at something that is almost a good fit. Don’t get drawn in. What are your non-negotiables? These will be different from your criteria. Limit it to three things.

Here is an example –

  • Must be based in the US.
  • Must have been operating for 3+ years.
  • Must be in either the health & wellness or fitness sector.

Think through yours. This, combined with the above criteria, should ensure you are looking at the right assets.

3. Create a Winning Sales Pitch and Establish Trust

What!? Shouldn’t the seller be pitching me? Yes, they should, but a good seller has options.

It’s up to you to ensure that they pick you. You want to warm them up. You want to establish trust. You want to ensure that the level of rapport you have established sets up a smooth asset transfer and transition. Write down your introduction paragraph and use it consistently. It should start with you…who you are and why you are interested in this asset.

4. Put forward your best offer, but leave some room for growth or fixes.

I recommend leaving aside at least 20% of your budget. So, if you have a budget of $100,000, you should only spend $80,000. The remaining 20% should be left aside for working on growth and optimization.

5. Use Sales Support Services

Always do due diligence. Flippa offers due diligence products and partnerships you can tap into. Just ask support@flippa.com. Plus, leverage our post-sales support team, contracts of sale and tap into our exclusive Escrow.com discounts.
