Empire Flippers
👤 Justin Cooke & Joe Magnotti (Two nomads flipped their own sites in public, podcasting every dollar — that audience became their first buyers and sellers.)🌐 site𝕏
A vetted marketplace for buying and selling online businesses — over $580M sold, built on 12 years of public trust.
Will it work? · our read
