eBusiness Institute Graduate Turns $24,000 Website Investment into $100,000+ Revenue Stream

BRISBANE, United Kingdom, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- An eBusiness Institute graduate has successfully transformed two websites purchased for a combined $24,000 into a revenue stream exceeding $100,000 in just two years. Mark, a participant in the Institute's Champions Program, applied the website renovation strategies taught by Matt Raad to dramatically increase the profitability of his digital assets, demonstrating the potential of websites as a lucrative digital side hustle.

Mark's first website, purchased on Flippa.com for $6,000 USD, generated its entire purchase price in revenue during a single month after renovation. His second acquisition, an Australian-based site costing $18,000, has produced approximately $80,000 in revenue over two years.

"December actually made more than what we paid for the site. So $6,000 just in December," Mark explained about his first investment. "The following December it actually doubled again, so we made $12,000."

The key to Mark's success was identifying undervalued websites with clear improvement opportunities. For his first site, he noted outdated content that hadn't been refreshed in years. Working with Matt Raad's guidance, he implemented strategic keyword research and content enhancements ahead of the site's peak seasonal traffic.

"We were doing our full due diligence, it takes a bit of time and being our first site we wanted to do it well," said Mark. "When we looked at the website, sure enough there were articles that the year hadn't been changed in the article title for two years... that looked like a pretty easy win for us."

His second website acquisition required more substantial renovations, including completely revamping the monetization strategy. By identifying opportunities to integrate affiliate offers —a strategy taught in the eBusiness Institute's curriculum — Mark transformed the site's revenue potential.

"The original owner really had monetized it by sending out these PDFs that she had individual people paying for ad space in, which was a lot of work for some income," Mark said. "We just started adding affiliate offers into various posts... and we really just struck gold in one particular post. That one post started earning about $1,000 a month."

Matt Raad, CEO and co-founder of the eBusiness Institute, emphasizes that Mark's success demonstrates the viability of website acquisition as a digital side hustle. 

Mark credits Flippa's marketplace for providing abundant opportunities for aspiring digital entrepreneurs. "The choices and the opportunities are amazing. The biggest challenge is just to sort through the opportunities," he noted.

His experience underscores the eBusiness Institute's teaching that strategic renovation of underperforming digital assets can deliver exceptional returns when applying proper due diligence and content optimization strategies.
