Indie Channels

In plain words

Indie Channels is a directory of distribution platforms and marketplaces designed for independent makers and creators. It curates channels where indie creators can reach audiences without large marketing budgets, providing a list of ecosystems and marketplaces that offer built-in traffic. The resource includes case studies showing how other makers have successfully leveraged these platforms for distribution and sales.
