[00:00:06] Viktoriia Miracle: Hello. Hello and welcome to happy time happy money podcast and today we have Eran Bucai . Eran is an online entrepreneur who lives off passive income thanks to affiliate marketing membership and freelance business. He helps solopreneur with their tech struggles and is obsessed with helping people. Hi and welcome Eran.

[00:00:30] Eran Bucai: Hey, thanks for having me really appreciate it.

[00:00:32] Viktoriia Miracle: Absolutely. Well, as always, I'd love to learn more about you and how you do what you're doing?

[00:00:38] Eran Bucai: Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I know passive income is like a really like always gets people's attention and stuff. So I'll tell you the way I, I do my business primarily.

[00:00:48] It's primarily from affiliate marketing of software products. I focus on software products that pay you residual ongoing. And then I realized that, when I actually bought someone else's website design. Basically to get them to build a website for me and I realized that the way their business is, is they deliver the website.

[00:01:08] And then when they turn it over to me, they get 20% commission from at the time it was Shopify was paying him 20% commission for every project. And then when I was going through doing my numbers, I realized the simplicity of making money online was it's really a numbers game, right. So if I need to live off, let's say $3,000 per month.

[00:01:29] To survive to live on or whatever, whatever the number is, depending on where you are on the world, you've got family mortgage, whatever. You just gotta figure out what is the monthly amount you need to make and do that and then I just did my numbers. My numbers were pretty, pretty, average, really nothing exciting, but I realized if I could just get a client to pay me 50 bucks a month or 40 bucks a month or whatever the amount is and add that to my passive income. It's just a matter of time before I live off passive income completely. And once I focused on that took me about eight, nine months, and I was basically, it was all kind of all, all set and then everything else is growing on top, basically.

[00:02:09] So there you go.

[00:02:10] Viktoriia Miracle: So, what is it everything else? So you said everything else. I know you have like few website. If you will watch this episode where I can, I want to remind you can always do on YouTube. There are all new episodes released there. You will see as like behind him, this website names. So what, what is that, that you do?

[00:02:28] Eran Bucai: Yeah, totally. So I've got, three websites with the main, main one that lists the time eranbucai.com it's like my personal brand, my blog stuff like that. That's where I started and then I evolved to a freelance gig building websites. So it became a eranfunnels.com, which is where I build people's websites and I got the affiliate marketing going for the software products. And then it evolved once I reached a limit where I could no longer take one-on-one customers because I was so overbooked. I went to, I build them.com, truths.com And the whole point of.com truths is to basically help people build an online business without the marketing hype.

[00:03:07] That's kind of my, my vision for it and that's why how's my information products, which is beginner guides to different topics, video courses for different topics and my tech support membership basically. So that's the three businesses basically.

[00:03:23] Viktoriia Miracle: Great. So what will be the first, you know, the first steps to start accumulating that and creating that?

[00:03:30] Eran Bucai: Yeah. The first thing really is to, number one, do your numbers. You know what the number is once you know your number. I think that's a very important step because you can get the lost of the hype of making six figures, making seven figures. Now we both work online and stuff, so we know the possibilities there to do it and succeed.

[00:03:49] And that's great, but you want to just start with a practical, simple, realistic goal, which is basically replace your living and business expenses with passive or recurring income. Now that's what I say, do the math first, know your numbers, then break down how many customers you need to make that per month and then figure out what skill you're going to do to get to do that.

[00:04:11] And then really my focus is just go get one customer, do a great job. Get a testimonial, use that testimonial to get the second one and then the third one, and then the fourth one. And really, I know you can get, you know, hung up on, I need to build an email list. I need to have a big audience. And the truth is that if you just get one customer per week, that pays you, let's say $50 a month.

[00:04:36] If you do that consistently for two years, You're retired. So it's just a very simple process, but it's, the numbers are in your favor. So that's what I would suggest for anybody really get a skill, figure out what it is that you're going to deliver and get that to one customer and just be consistently with it.

[00:04:54] Viktoriia Miracle: Mm, I love that. Get the skill.Oh my gosh, I think that's like a jam, just a brilliant jam, because there's so many things you can do online and I mean, you can focus or unfocused on hundreds of them and understanding like you break it down super easy, like, okay, here is this. So. I know, you know, you mentioned that people like want to grow mail list.

[00:05:17] So I'm hearing, you're saying it's better just focusing on one customer and give, brings value. That will be your basically marketing for the next client and the next client and that ongoing sales.

[00:05:31] I feel like.

[00:05:33] Eran Bucai: All these other things, like build an email list, build a YouTube channel, build a podcast like you're doing all that is brilliant.

[00:05:39] But the thing that when you do all that stuff, you're building digital assets that take you off the active hustle. Right? So at the beginning you got to hustle. There's no two ways about it. You have to, even when you started your podcast, you know, if you're just getting started, you have to go find the guest speakers.

[00:05:56] It's they're not just going to come knocking on your door once you have a hundred episodes. Yeah. People are gonna come knocking on your, hey, can I be a guest speaker, but you have to start with that one by one. And then you start to introduce those. Okay. Build a sales funnel, create a sales page, build an email list.

[00:06:12] Stop emailing your list. Build a Youtube channel, build podcasts, and you start automating your business, building a team, building digital assets and all that, but it starts with the hustle.

[00:06:22] Viktoriia Miracle: Absolutely. I absolutely agree. Once you add the, I dunno, your first episodes, nobody wants to be on your podcast, but then, but then there people, yeah.

[00:06:32] Sending you a lot of emails and messages, and then you got to just sort through them or invite people that you like, and you think it's going to be beneficial for you. So if you're everything to do podcasts, absolutely great advice. And the last question that I always ask on this podcast is, I want you to filling the blank for me.

[00:06:50] And it sounded like this. If you really knew me, you will know that I am blank.

[00:06:57] Eran Bucai: Obsessed with helping people.

[00:06:59] Viktoriia Miracle: Okay, great. I like, you knew the answer.

[00:07:03] Eran Bucai: Yeah. That's really the only thing I care about, to be honest which is helping people. I really do and I, I enjoy it. I even my price, if you look at my business and my prices and my prices are really low, actually, compared to the markets and I'm okay with it, it's somehow it worked really well for me.

[00:07:18] And I'm, I'm happy to there's a quote from the Millionaire Booklet, Grant Cardone on said, if you wanna, if you want to be, if you want to make a billion dollars to help a billion. It's kind of the thing. Now I know that's a bit of a ridiculous goal or whatever, but you know, just that mindset kind of helps me to keep focused on the important part.

[00:07:35] That's why I can also enjoy the journey versus caring about the money, the money come as long as your enjoying and wanting to help people I think.

[00:07:44] Viktoriia Miracle: Absolutely generosity. It's been always, you know, driver of everything else. The more value you bring, the more money you get for the value.
