Hey, so you should have just received an email from Travis about the new investment platform and community we are launching.
The community is looking good, and this week’s deals are inside (alongside one of my sites and SEO domains), but we are adding even more content before we invite everyone in as first impressions count.
You will receive an email invite over the next few days (before Monday’s Empire Flippers deals come out).
Below are the website deals Colin has found this week - 5x websites between $4K and $256K.
Cheers!
Richard
Starter Site
Company: Motion Invest
Listing URL: https://www.motioninvest.com/cdg20204/
Price: $3,965
Earnings: $132 L10M
Niche: Auto
Monetization: Amazon Affiliate
Wordcount (Weglot): 75,652

Our Thoughts
This site in the auto space is pretty exciting in that there are a ton of content topics that haven’t been written about. It’s not a big earner by any means, but sites in the auto space can certainly earn 5 figures a month (we know from experience), with dozens and dozens of “best of” articles that can be written about.
The content formatting can definitely be improved as it is pretty bare bones with lots of bland text. The site will require some work and investment to get it going, but that kind of investment should be quite lucrative given the upside and solid foundation of the site.
Potential Upside
86 keywords ranking 11-20 with 200+ search volume, with some high buyer intent and review keywords
Improve internal linking from home pages (home page has content doesn’t seem to target or rank for any important keywords)
Improve content formatting and trust
Target more money keywords
Potential Risks
Has some unrelated links that need to be looked at closer in aggregate. They’re not bad links but the sites don’t seem too related
Aggressive number of links to internal pages relative to home page
Our Verdict: ★★★★☆ Site has been declining, but no major risks and lots of upside
Established Sites
Company: Investors Club
Listing URL: https://investors.club/listings/fEbymnK9W8lkZAKgaJSm
Price: $19,096
Earnings: $682 L12M
Niche: Kitchen
Monetization: Amazon Associates
Wordcount (Weglot): 228,535
Ahrefs:
Our Thoughts
Decent 2 word.com domain that’s wide enough to cover everything kitchen / cooking related. Traffic in Ahrefs shows the site has been on a rolling decline since September so should investigate GA.
Potential Upside
43 keywords ranking 11-20 with 200+ search volume with high buying intent
Lots of content to target in the lucrative kitchen niche
Diversify traffic using Pinterest, which this niche does realy well with
101 links on the homepage! Can better funnel internal link juice
Potential Risks
Has some links from sites that are considered decent but known as guest posting farms
Has been on a decline for past several months
One page gets more than 30 percent of visitors
Strong competition may require high investment for growth
Our Verdict: ★★★☆☆ Has upside and room to grow, but recent site trajectory could be a concern
Company: Empire Flippers
Listing URL: https://empireflippers.com/listing/49189/
Price: $51,327
Earnings: $1,396 (L5M)
Niche: Auto

Our Thoughts
This site in the auto space is a great opportunity for people who are both looking for a consistent, hands off earner and those looking for a site to sink their teeth into.
It has enough content to have some quick wins but also plenty of areas to invest in (both content and links) to propel site growth. Invest in more home-page links to future-proof the site and improve the site authority.
Make sure to improve the EAT before serious investing to get rid of that risk. The niche doesn’t require strong EAT, but it’s worth it to put several hours into beefing it up and to protect this solid investment.
Potential Upside
66 keywords ranking 11-20 with 200+ search volume, many with high buying intent
Info pages are not monetized but get good traffic
Lots of content opportunities
Powerful links will continue to push this site up
Test affiliate programs to increase revenue
Potential Risks
Terrible EAT (generic home page blogroll, weak about me, no social on home and about page)
Internal pages have too many links compared to home page
Our Verdict: ★★★★★ Relatively stable earner with lots of upside and good site foundation
Company: Empire Flippers
Listing URL: https://empireflippers.com/listing/49139/
Price: $256,007
Earnings: $6,479 (L7M)
Niche: Coffee
Monetization: 87% Amazon Affiliate, 11% other affiliate, 2% Display Ads
Wordcount (Weglot): 305,109

Our Thoughts
This site in the coffee niche is a little different from most other sites we feature in that most of its traffic is from the UK. Indeed, it’s a .co.uk domain, but Brits are big coffee drinkers too.
This site has nothing but potential with plenty of more content opportunities and rankings to capture. There are no significant risks which combined with the site’s strong current trajectory make it attractive. It has a solid link foundation, including one from Wikipedia. Even though the EAT is better than most sites that we feature, but it could still be improved.
It’s a premium site at a premium price, but could be worth it for any serious investor.
Potential Upside
312 keywords ranking 11-20 with 200+ search volume in the UK for good intent keywords, 39 ranking 11-20 with 200+ SV in the US
Test different affiliate networks/programs to increase profitability
Go after more informational content to improve ad display earnings
Potential Risks
Weak EAT that could be improved (about and home pages could be improved) despite decent social following
Top page brings in 21% of traffic according to Ahrefs (verify), which is more than we want for a site of this size
Uses a DR7 301 redirect
Our Verdict: ★★★★★ Expensive, but a solid site with a great trajectory
Company: Empire Flippers
Listing URL: https://empireflippers.com/listing/49423/
Price: $163,845
Earnings: $3,742 (L3M)
Niche: Pets

Wordcount (Weglot): > 1,000,000

Our Thoughts
Nice branded two word.com on a steep search traffic trajectory since last year. Zero page level dependency, with all top pages in the top half of google and the #1 page only bringing in 5% of search traffic (according to Ahrefs).
Potential Upside
449 keywords ranking 11-20 with 200+ search volume including some keywords with high buying intent
Can improve tables on ‘money pages’ to improve CRO
Focus on more affiliate content which is more lucrative. The site has a lot of topical relevance
83 internal links on homepage - can better funnel internal link equity
Potential Risks
3x 301 redirects
Earnings based on L3M and high multiple may overvalue the site
Our Verdict: ★★★★☆ Awesome site that is growing well with diversified income that does not depend on Amazon, but 3 301 redirects is a slight risk.
