About me.
Hey there, I’m Corey McCoy—a multipreneur who loves talking and scheming about building my portfolio micro-web businesses.
Why?
Several reasons actually:
- It’s rewarding—There’s nothing quite like the rush of turning a random shower thought into cold, hard Stripe notifications.
- I get more at-bats—The cost to go from idea to ship has NEVER been cheaper. As a multipreneur, I can take multiple swings until I get a hit.
- It’s easier to grow my MRR—Forget trying to grow my MRR to $10k+ with one idea. My goal is to build 5, 10, even 20 micro-web businesses generating $500-$1k in MRR each.
- “The riches are in the niches”—I can find a small underserved market, identify a problem or desire, build for a solution, and reach profitability much quicker.
So how’d I end up addicted to building these little money-printers?
Back in late 2019, I decided to switch gears career-wise. The internet was booming, so I figured “Hey, why not learn how to build digital products?” It’s where the opportunity (and money) was flowing, according to Twitter 😆.
Fast forward to March 16, 2020, and suddenly I had lots of free time.
And since I refused to watch the “Tiger King”, I occupied my time learning about digital products, and creating a sort of idea-to-income system:
- How I would find an idea worth pursuing
- Validate it without burning my cash
- Build it fast and cheap
- When to use code vs. no-code tools
- And shipping it into the wild to see what sticks
According to some very smart people, I also needed learn…
– Copywriting? Check.
– Digital marketing? You bet.
– Design? Just enough to be dangerous.
Within a few weeks, I launched my first product, “Simpl QR Code”, a website for generating QR Codes, (remember this was 2020).
It felt like I’d unlocked a superpower. The power to turn any problem or half-baked idea into a digital product people might actually use (and sometimes even pay for).
Now, I’m a one-person startup factory. Each product is a new experiment, a chance to learn, and hopefully add another stream of sweet, sweet MRR.

P.S. I’m always down to connect with idea junkies for brainstorming, collaborating, and building cool $h!t.
