Hey guys.

I'm glad to see you all this week.

Last week, I ran an unsuccessful event, so I decided to keep selling MicroStartups passively. I recently had one productive conversation with a potential buyer. Can't disclose many details at this stage.

This week we've done many small things that will impact all our users. Search for premium members and evaluation calculators for founders.

Both features are great because they save our users time or resources for us as a startup.

At the end of the newsletter, you'll learn eight ways to use ChatGPT for your next business.

Enjoy 😊

Now let’s crack on with the newsletter ☕️

✅ Small wins

For today's newsletter, I decided to start with Microns small wins. To become successful, you need to show up daily. Everything is possible with small steps tactic.

You do essential tasks every day to achieve your goal. You prioritize, commit, analyze, celebrate, and repeat. It will bring you to the top in your industry.

I started Microns without an audience or knowledge of how to build a marketplace. But as you progress, you learn and earn valuable experience. Dividing significant issues into daily 2-3 hours tasks helped me create a place where founders sold 28 startups last year. And we keep growing.

If you receive two paying clients every week for two years, you'll have 192 customers. The same is here. In two years, we managed to get over 650 startup submissions. Small and consistent steps over time will bring you meaningful results anyway. Just keep grinding and never give up.

🔎 Instant search

This week we added an intelligent search for our premium members. It searches by title, category, tech stack, and even audience. As a bonus it works blazingly fast.

As long as we receive more new listings, we need an interactive and quicker way to surf through listings. This search will improve the discovery phase for our serious buyers. It will make the process of finding suitable startups easier.

⚖️ Startup evaluation made simple

Besides smart search, we added a super helpful feature: a calculator for startup sellers. Based on the latest data from Flippa and Acquire, it will estimate your project's worth. It works simply, but we'll invest time and resources to make it more accurate.

Choose revenue type, add your annual revenue numbers and receive immediate estimate ⚡️

It's super cool because it will help founders set the market price for their projects. It will simplify the listing process and optimize our support time.
