Sydney Couple Credits eBusiness Institute Training for Rapid Growth and Financial Freedom

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BRISBANE, Queensland - April 10, 2025 - eBusiness Institute has announced another student success story as Sydney-based couple Amish and Avani have transformed their digital side hustle into a seven-figure business in just 3.5 years. Starting with minimal technical experience, the pair leveraged eBusiness Institute's training to build SME Digital, a thriving agency offering web design, SEO, and website maintenance services. Their business now generates well over $50,000 monthly in recurring revenue and serves clients across Australia.

The couple joined eBusiness Institute's Champions Program with conventional careers - Amish working in IT/telecommunications and Avani running a business in India while livestreaming funerals part-time in Australia. Neither possessed extensive digital marketing expertise when they began their journey.

"We wanted to do something where we could both work from home," said Avani. "That was a big priority for us. We were planning to have a child and wanted to be around, but also build a proper business asset together.

After their first year of training, which they describe as "a learning year, not an earning year," the couple focused on building a digital agency to generate faster cash flow. By the end of their second year, despite the challenges of COVID-19, they had successfully replaced their corporate incomes.

"The great thing about what we learned at eBusiness Institute is the process worked really well," said Amish. "The foundation they taught just worked like magic. It gave me the confidence that if I could succeed in one competitive industry, I could repeat it."

Matt Raad, Co-founder of eBusiness Institute, highlighted the couple's remarkable growth trajectory. "Once you start hitting $50,000 months, you're potentially sitting on a seven-figure asset. With the recurring revenue model they've built, their business could be worth anywhere from four to six times their profit."

The couple attributes their success to consistent implementation of eBusiness Institute's strategies combined with persistent networking and lead generation efforts. "We put in the hard yards," said Avani. "We've done cold calling, networking, and reached out to our entire sphere. We run Google ads, Meta ads, and about five to seven different marketing strategies at any given time."

Recently, they accelerated their growth by acquiring a business directory website that will help promote their client sites even more as it contains 12,000 business listings with a database of 35,000 contacts. 

What started as a digital side hustle has evolved into not just a lucrative business but a lifestyle that allows them to be present parents while building significant wealth. Despite creating an asset that could command a premium in today's market, they have no immediate plans to sell.
