About

I help small businesses grow.

Hey! Thanks for stopping by.

I have one goal: help your business be better off than it was before you found me.

I teach solo consultants (along with founders and self-employed people in expertise-heavy services professions) how to grow their business, market themselves like an authority, and fill their pipeline with leads.

The best way to keep up to date is to join my newsletter. Readers like you say “The value to promotion ratio is heavily on the side of value.”

What’s my story?

I’m an entrepreneur, growth marketer, and marketing coach. I’ve been publishing online, building audiences, and marketing and selling services and products since 2008. I love what I do.

These days, I’m focused on a few core things:

  1. Coaching solo consultants and founders on marketing and growth. I run a marketing coaching practice where I work with solo consultants to help them accelerate their marketing and grow their internet businesses.
  2. Helping Shopify stores grow with SEO and growth engines. I’m the founder of Double Your Ecommerce, a solo consultancy focused on growth for Shopify merchants.

If you’re a solo consultant (or founder) and would like to learn more about working with me, read more about my services or consider booking a 1-on-1 call.

How you might have found me

  • I’ve spoken on over a hundred podcasts and webinars about growth, marketing, and entrepreneurship. (Partial list here.)
  • I’ve given talks at sold-out conferences in the US and Europe. I’ve hosted conferences and events for entrepreneurs and founders since 2016.
  • I’m The Magic Email guy (themagicemail.com).
  • You might have binge-listened to my (now retired) podcast, Make Money Online, that I co-hosted with the wonderful nickd.

More facts about me

  • I live in Eugene, Oregon (don’t be creepy).
  • I started playing jazz and classical piano when I was five years old.
  • I love to spend time outdoors: hiking, biking, adventuring, gardening.
  • I used to play a lot of Magic: The Gathering. In 2007 I played on the Pro Tour and in US Nationals!
