That's the question I first asked when someone told me about "indieconf". I wasn't used to the jargon of the geeks and web networkers. An "indie" is an independent professional, someone in business for themselves. Oh.
I'm an "indie"? Yes. I didn't know that.
So what is this "indieconf" conference - looks like its only for web geeks. No, its not?
The first time I went, I really wondered about that. I spent the day enjoying amazing workshops about legal stuff, marketing stuff, publishing stuff, business stuff, everything but geek stuff. Oh, that was a surprise! Well yes there was one code workshop I attended. But I could have gone to another business or publishing workshop.
The stuff for web developers was minimal actually, as the conference is really for the independent business professional to learn how to work on all the business end of their business. There are code conferences for the geeks and plenty of them but that was not Michael Kimsal's vision. It is aimed at the web developers and any other professionals. It is intended to help people figure out how to make a viable business when they want to work on their own as a professional.
The first time I went, the conference blew me away, created a dream for my business, and I've been living and building that dream ever since and on into the future . . . it all began with "indieconf".
Can you think of uses for you for this great information?
Would you like some free legal advice? Basic info and plan for the independent professional of any kind.
Would you like some free tax advice? Again basic info and plan for the independent professional of any kind.
How about marketing information?
How about a session from Bill Davis on business management? yes he's there too!
How about guides for handling your social media?
How about great SEO basic info to help you decide what you need?
Publishing dreams? see ebooks at night in your sleep? want to learn how to do it?
That's indieconf. This is a place where people can go to get all the basic info they need to run a business . . . what kind of business? Really almost any business that features you doing what you do.
Go to indieconf. Don't worry about not being a geek. Get free advice. This is easy.

I would go as far to say that if you attend you'll close out the year on a higher note and go into 2013 stronger.

Comment by Pepper P Oldziey on October 29, 2012 at 7:26pm Thanks Pat. I completely agree!

Comment by Michael Kimsal on October 29, 2012 at 10:42pm 50 eh? I don't doubt that, based on the inside919 events I've been attending recently.

Comment by Robin Thomas on October 30, 2012 at 2:59pm I keep hearing wonderful things about Indieconf - I'll spread the word!
