🚀 Growth Opportunities
Pricing Strategy: Re-evaluate the pricing tiers to maximize revenue and customer satisfaction. Current subscription to from free to paid seems low, I’d look to figure out what the issue is there.
Strategic Partnerships: Establish partnerships with leading SMB platforms, hosting companies, products and services to build out more distribution channels.
🚩Cons
Pro Plan Under-performance: The low MRR from the Pro plan raises questions about its market fit.
Unreleased Android App: The yet-to-be-released Android app indicates potential delays in execution and may require additional investment from the new owners.
💰 Asking Price: $140,000

🚀 Growth Opportunities

SEO: Invest in SEO and content marketing to attract organic traffic and increase visibility.
🚩Cons
Competition: The newsletter/content space is very competitive. You’ll need to stand out with the content and value you provide readers.
Limited Revenue Streams: Heavy reliance on subscriptions could be risky if subscriber numbers fluctuate. I’d start looking at ways to find sponsors for the newsletter.
In Partnership With eVouch
eVouch is a Shopify app that gets your customers to post Instagram stories about your brand.
I've integrated eVouch into several of my own brands and let me tell you, the results have been nothing short of spectacular. We're talking about customer engagement that has truly disrupted our traditional metrics.
On average, we've seen 3.5% of all customers actively posting stories about their purchases. That's organic reach that you can't put a price on!
What's the secret sauce? The app provides discounts to shoppers to share their experiences through Instagram stories, making it a win-win for both the customer and the brand. Customizable templates make it effortless for your customers to create visually appealing stories that align with your brand's aesthetic.
Don't just take my word for it; experience the eVouch effect for yourself. Trust me, you'll wonder how you ever managed to grow your brand without it.
I don’t have a discount code for it right now but Alonzo told me that all brands who come in through me are eligible for a 1 month free trial (instead of the regular 2 weeks), priority support, and free creative design by their in-house designers.
Feel free to book a call with Alonzo here

Passive business to operate, owner doesn’t require to be put a lot of time and effort into this. A lot of the foundation has been setup, opportunity for growth can be to acquire more ATM units.
🤌🏼 Thread Of The Week
Great process on the acquisition journey and how to actually search for deals:
I bought a business.
What a ride.
A ton of ups, downs, and lessons over the last year to rehash which I’ll be doing in the coming posts.
But I’ll start with how this even came about.
I started searching for a business to buy in March after being introduced to the ETA… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
