Last year, I decided to learn more about acquisition entrepreneurship by getting some reps in. So I did–I bought/sold a SaaS business and 10xed my money in ~2 weeks of work.

Here's what I learned from my accidental flip 👇🧵

(and props to @microacquire for making this doable!)

@ConnorAbene The Gambler, about Kirk Kerkorian. Wild how little known he is given all he accomplished.

@i_spy_coffee @AppStore I did a double-take when I saw it this morning

Fake @AppStore TestFlight invitation landed in my inbox this morning.

The scammers are evolving 🙃

@nichepursuits We manually schedule. Reach cratered when we tried PostPlanner.

[Phil Crumm @pcrumm]

@nichepursuits Are you doing mostly text, image, or video content? We’ve seen far higher engagement on videos — and in-steam ads, coupled with these bonus programs, make the revenue do very well too

[Phil Crumm @pcrumm]

@imbradmiller @Waymo I did! Felt weird to sit in back and totally give up control

[Phil Crumm @pcrumm]

First @Waymo trip — very cool, very unnerving 😬

@devlikesbizness Glad to see it! Thanks for leading the charge

@nate_caminata @JamesMikrut Deal 🤝

[Phil Crumm @pcrumm]

@nate_caminata How do I get myself on the “expecting swag” list? 😂 Those are awesome!

[Phil Crumm @pcrumm]

@nate_caminata @payloadcms @nextjs See y’all there!

My partner’s assembled a list of organizations you can support to help North Carolinians rebuilding after Hurricane Helene:

If you’re able to and interested, please consider contributing whatever you can.

@iamfra5er @tevintchuinkam For some, but many profitable Kindle Direct Publishing businesses rely entirely on Amazon for distribution—and maybe build an email list through those books to lower long term ad spend.

@TheMikeBal I’ll be in one place Wednesday through Friday of this week 😉

[Phil Crumm @pcrumm]

Off to Portland this morning for @WordCampUS! Looking forward to catching up with my friends at @WordPressVIP, @wpengine, @WooCommerce, and the entire @WordPress community #WCUS

[Phil Crumm @pcrumm]

@devlikesbizness @acquiredotcom Fair. These more traditional content businesses are interesting, especially if they’re already doing some profit revenue. Could their content expand to social media, for example? 🤔
