## Resource

In this episode of the Digital Investors Podcast, Matt Raad sits down with Steph to answer a question many people are asking right now: Can you still buy websites in the age of AI and Google changes? The answer is yes, but the rules have changed. Matt explains why some content sites are now much riskier, what he would avoid buying in 2026, and why the best opportunities are often older, established websites with real traffic, profit, history, community, courses, newsletters, forums, or other overlooked assets. He also shares why these “diamonds in the rough” are still out there, how AI can help renovate the right websites faster, and why buying websites is still a powerful digital skill for people willing to learn what has changed.  Want To Learn How To Digital Skills That Can Replace Your Income and Buy Back Your Lifestyle?
