Microbiz power

Re-upping yesterday's news tidbit in case you missed it: GoDaddy is doing its part to help the microbusinesses in Baltimore. It's part of the web hosting company's new Empower program coming to the Impact Hub Baltimore in February. There will be five cohorts throughout the year for this six-week, in-person learning cohorts focused on web and digital presence.

 

Microbusinesses are the people selling food platters on Instagram, advertising commissions for art, or styling hair and using a site to book appointments — a hustler by any other name. In the Baltimore metro area, there were 192,000 online microbusinesses as of summer 2021.

 

The Empower program, outside of the technical support and expertise of GoDaddy, offers a free GoDaddy domain to participants. You can register for the free launch event happening the evening of Feb. 17 at Impact Hub. Although the first Empower cohort is full, the second cohort is open for registration.
