About SME Digital

Helping Experienced Professionals Monetize Their Expertise.

I founded SME Digital in 2011, working with entrepreneurs to build and grow their digital presence.

 

Now, through SME Digital, I work with experienced professionals who know their expertise has value but are unsure how to turn it into income without compromising credibility, stability, or clarity.

 

If you’ve spent years building knowledge, skills, and reputation, the challenge isn’t ability. It’s knowing how to translate expertise into a structured, professional monetization strategy.

​

That’s why SME Digital exists.

About Me

My name is Akino Davis.

​

I’m a business advisor and strategist with over two decades of experience across business development, operations, and entrepreneurship.

​

I work as a thinking partner—helping professionals clarify direction, position their expertise, and move forward with confidence.

​

My role isn’t to tell you what to do. It’s to help you see clearly and decide well.

Who I Work With

I primarily support:

​

  • Mid to senior-level professionals

  • Executives, managers, consultants, coaches, and specialists

  • Individuals with 8–20+ years of professional experience

  • Professionals transitioning from employment or consulting into expertise-based income

 

You don’t need to start over.

 

You need a clear advisory framework for monetizing what you already know.

How SME Digital Supports You

SME Digital operates as an expertise monetization advisory, not a traditional coaching business.

​

Support is delivered through:

​

  • An ongoing Advisory Community for clarity and perspective

  • Private Advisory Sprints to resolve key decisions

  • A 12-Week Private Accelerator for deeper execution and monetization

 

There is no pressure to move through every level. Support deepens only when it’s appropriate.

My Approach to Expertise Monetization

Most business advice is built for:

​

  • Beginners

  • Online creators

  • People with time, flexibility, and high risk tolerance

 

Professionals operate differently.

 

You carry:

​

  • Reputation

  • Responsibility

  • Financial commitments

  • Long-term career considerations

 

That’s why my work focuses on:

​

  • Strategic clarity over speed

  • Decision-making over tactics

  • Professional positioning over hype

 

Monetizing expertise is not about doing more. It’s about making better decisions in the right sequence.

This Is—and Is Not—for You

This work IS for you if you value:

- Clarity over motivation

- Structure over noise

- Professional credibility over shortcuts

This work is NOT for you if you’re looking for:

- Quick wins or hacks

- Done-for-you solutions

- Motivational coaching
