Acquiring and scaling internet businesses while helping investors & entrepreneurs do the same | Founder @ BlackBook Investments | DM to invest with us.
@smartspendcode Do we stay at Gold from second year onwards if we make the necessary spend of 15 lakh (50k on Emirates .com)? Or do we have to spend 15 lakh every year to stay on Gold?
@dholmes94 It’s not exactly the same as WebStreet (EF Capital). Under WebStreet, the funds are raised and allocated to experienced operators to go out and buy businesses.
“Once you start making decent cash, lock down a coffee spot where they know your order before you speak.
Find a mom and pop grocer for quality veggies and fruits over supermarket trash.
A good restaurant for business purposes & dates.
Pick a bar to disappear, unwind, think. And a high-end bar, preferably a hotel lounge, for when the setting demands elegance.
Your life is your video game, build your map accordingly.”
As a digital investor, I watch Google like a hawk.
For anyone running an online business, Google updates can feel like sudden earthquakes.
With every change, there’s a shakeup—and in recent years, these shifts have been seismic.

Revenue isn't everything in website acquisitions.
Here's what smart buyers look for:
Organic Traffic Quality
→ High organic visits mean lower ad spend and better stability.
Income Diversification
→ Multiple revenue streams (ads, affiliates, products) protect against market changes.
SEO Health
→ Look for balanced keyword rankings, not dependency on a few terms.
Audience Engagement
→ Strong email open rates and social engagement indicate a loyal community.
Growth Potential
→ Sometimes, a lower-earning site with optimization opportunities beats higher current revenue.
The best deals aren't just about top-line numbers – they're about finding undervalued assets with strong fundamentals and room for growth.
Focus on these factors to spot high-ROI opportunities that others miss. 💯
