Negotiation tips for buying an online business

Feb 09, 2023

Hey guys.

This week we've got a bunch of stuff on our plate. So it's time when we need to focus on things that are important and have value for our users.

That's why we started thinking about custom pages and integrations for our concierge service. We do this to help buyers and sellers facilitate deals safer through the platform.

Trust is our priority because I want people to associate Microns with something safe and friendly. And with proper transaction flow, it can be possible.

After this, we need to attract more sellers from different categories to the platform. Analyze their feedback. Improve the flow and repeat. The process is incremental but crucial to build a great experience. In the end, our mission is to help millions become acquisition entrepreneurs.

P.S. My condolences to the families affected by the earthquake in Turkey.

This time we have a small newsletter about business ideas you can launch in just a weekend. I read a few issues that look cool.

Small deal, closed pretty fast, the founder was thrilled and inspired. Besides this, Rohit interviewed me for his podcast (that's where we actually met). I told him about the Microns, micro-acquisition market and shared a few success stories. He liked the idea and promised to try it out.

So, if you have a newsletter for sale, feel free to submit it. We have a bunch of hungry buyers for this type of asset.

But if you run a podcast, it's even better! Invite me to your podcast, and I'll share our story and give your audience insights about the market.

just sold my first ever project. this feeling is addictive @micronsio

P.S. If you send us a founder who would sell the project on Microns, we'll pay you from $100 to $1,000 bonus for referral (depending on the deal). The only requirement is that the transaction should flow through our concierge service.
