• "How do I get great clients? How do I get more?"
• "... I've never started a business before."
• "Design scares me. And I am definitely not a programmer."
• "I'm not even sure what should be on my website."
• "How much money do I ask for? How do I take payments?"
• "Fonts, colors, themes, I literally have no idea — how do I know what to pick?"
• "How do I automate some of this stuff? Can I make the tedious parts take less time?"

For someone who's just starting out — starting your first online business is overwhelming. There's a lot of big questions that come up, and sometimes researching those only leads to even bigger questions.

• —   If you're a designer, how do you code your site?
• —   If you're a developer, how do you make your stuff look good?
• —   If you're a life coach, how do you take video calls and payments?
• —   If you're a wedding photographer, what should you charge?

And, of course, in nearly any manner of online business — how are you going to brand yourself to stand out, and target the kind of customers you want?

How do you know how to speak their language? How do you market it?

And honestly, who can you turn to for advice — especially from someone who's done it before & has experience — with questions that you just don't know?

I've been approached by and built branding, websites, apps, and internal tools for companies like NBCUniversal, The New York Times, General Assembly, Heroku, Mozilla, Stripe, Readmill, Trunk Club, Metalab, PRX, Librato, Ginkgo Bioworks, Openstudy, Citizen, The League of Moveable Type, & many more.

But more important than that, I've been a mentor to new businesses, do-it-yourself-ers, and crazy idea-makers for more than 10 years.

In all that time, I've been helping clients, friends, and total strangers figure out how to make their stuff online work. That means:

• ⭐️ Taking the time to really understand what you want, what you care about, and the life you're trying to build with your business
• 🛠 Researching and figuring out which tools and systems we can use to make work less stressful, less painful, more productive and more fun
• 🎨 Giving experienced advice on the important stuff — copywriting, voice/tone, visual design and aesthetics, branding and UX
• 🧠 Brainstorming together to come up with creative business models, motivating you to take new approaches on making money & helping people
• 📝 Breaking down what's working and what's not for whatever you have online now, based on years of figuring out exactly what will work for clients

“I started working with Micah when I was launching my small meditation business, and his guidance was career changing.

He was integral from beginning-to-end in setting up my website. I was lost in a sea of SquareSpace templates and he problem-solved every issue I had. He helped guide me to a font that was best suited for the voice of my brand and helped me find a color scheme that felt authentic to me and my business.

His expert knowledge of how users think online was invaluable - because I listened to his suggestions, I've been turning website visits into paid clients.

His support went way beyond website help - he also assisted me with my MailChimp newsletters and helped me come up with a footer that I now use throughout my business. He simplified how I was emailing my clients and showed me a simple way to effectively reach my clientele easier — which has saved me hours of time every time I email them.

Having Micah as a digital mentor has alleviated all of my fears surrounding my online presence, which has resulted in me gaining more clients without working so hard. On top of all that - you’ve got a friend in your corner every step of the way who is endlessly cheering you on and wants you to succeed.

His help was exactly what I needed and I am just so grateful I gave myself the gift of working with him.”
