Websites and Domains

With higher profit margins than ecommerce and requiring lower maintenance than micro SaaS, content websites offer an extremely alluring passive income opportunity.

While you can make outsized returns with websites vs, say, real estate or stocks, it’s not exactly easy. But with platforms like Empire Flippers leading the way, this space is likely to produce great alternative investment opportunities for years to come.

I love under-the radar companies that are spinning off cash. WebStreet buys these companies, optimizes them, and buckets them together as an investment. It’s like micro-PE.

I read your emails pretty religiously. Your issue on investing in tax liens is one of my absolute favorites. Great coverage for an otherwise totally grey area that seems to have little mindshare within the broader REI community.

Absolute must-read every time it hits my inbox. Stefan and Wyatt are web wizards, appraising assets using a mixture of arcane product knowledge, SEO sorcery and metrics magic. They lift a veil shrouding the Internet to show its secret world of investment opportunities.

Alts is the only email newsletter I've read from start to finish from day one. The effort that Stefan & Wyatt provide is the next-level analysis you've been waiting for. They break down each asset in detail, metric by metric, and serve it up in a brief email with graphics and links.

I've recently discovered the Alts newsletter, and am enjoying it. They don't strictly focus on digital assets, which actually helps it keep it more unique in my opinion.

Alts brings me unique investment opportunities and insights that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. For me, it’s a simple and enjoyable way to stay informed on financial topics that are way outside of the mainstream news sources.
