MakerList - 🚀 Welcome to Alternative Assets
Hey there, I’m Stefan, the guy who bought MakerList last week. I’d like to welcome you to Alternative Assets: A newsletter about alternatives to traditional investment & business ideas. A bit about meMy name is Stefan von Imhof, and I’m the Head of Product at Flippa - the world’s largest marketplace for buying & selling online businesses. I also run Flippa’s Due Diligence Program, and have also bought & sold 10 websites & micro-businesses myself. I live and breathe this world. Why did I buy MakerList?I had been a reader of MakerList for some time, but noticed that Richard had stopped posting a few months ago. I thought his content was great, and so I reached out to him to see if I could help keep it going! I felt that subscribers would be interested in the sort of content I was putting out there, and Richard agreed. There was a lot of syngery here. We negotiated a bit, and decided on an arrangement that worked for both of us. Also, the orange color he used was already pretty close to my logo. So it was a no-brainer 😄 What are Alternative Assets?There's a million blogs about venture capital, stocks, real estate. This is about the wide world of options that don't get talked about as much — with a focus on digital assets, websites and micro-businesses. There’s a world of opportunity out there. Here are some examples:
What is NOT covered?There’s a few themes I don’t cover:
How often do you update?Once per week. That’s it for now. I’ve got some great stuff coming your way. I hope you enjoy it. Sincerely, Disclaimer The author is not a finance, legal or tax professional.
