WHAT A FEW OF OUR THOUSANDS OF MAKER MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY...



Susan Varga

Aromatic Traditions, IBN Member since 2014

As a business consultant for boutique spa owners, I recommend IBN constantly.
This is THE go to resource for a plethora of sound business advice. From private
sessions with Donna Maria (which I highly recommend – get your pen ready you
fill pages in your notebook) to the essential Maker Mastermind groups and the
step by step Indie Method (every business would benefit from starting here). The
Facebook groups and challenges are lively, well thought out, and will drive you
and your business to places you've never dreamed you would go. And you can get
your product liability insurance here as well. Stellar combo!!


Sandy Engels

The Purple Sage: IBN Member since 2013

As a business owner, we have to make a lot of decisions…some of them good and
some not so good. I have found that being a member of the Indie Business Network
has been one of the BEST decisions I have made for my business. The leadership
and mentoring that Donna Maria provides is truly priceless. Donna Maria has a
natural ability to gently lead and guide you along your business journey. I have
participated in multiple events/challenges that Indie Business Network has
hosted and each time I come away with more knowledge and growth in my business.
As a solo entrepreneur you are never alone when you are a member of IBN. I can
truly say I have formed some friendships through this organization that I know
will be life long friendships…that is an added benefit! Thank you Donna Maria
for creating the Indie Business Network, I am honored to be a member of this
fine organization.

KleanSpa bath + body: IBN Member since 2014

I have known Donna Maria since 2006. She is a wellspring of knowledge and
positive energy. When I thought about who I wanted to brainstorm with for the
evolution of my business, Donna was at the top of the list. She brings her years
of experience as a business person and her creativity as a maker with her. I
only wish I had more time with her, which I will be doing in the near future.
She help pull my different business offerings into different buckets. It
clarified for me how I can communicate that to myself and others. I can wait to
speak with her again because I know I am in solid hands! Thank you, Donna Maria.


Marge Clark

Nature's Gift: IBN Member since 2000

Donna Maria, IBN's founder and CEO, has been a source of ideas, inspiration,
guidance, suggestions and advice for more years than I can remember. She is
just, pure and simple, a resource you can NOT afford to ignore. And besides
that, she shares her heart and soul with us…she is a constant reminder during
all the stress and hard work fo creating and running your own business…that it's
important to take time for you…time to nurture your spirit, time to laugh.

I've been a member of IBN for (it seems like) forever, through a lot of
different incarnations as she has helped the organization and its members grow.
I am so grateful for her friendship.

My membership to the Indie Business Network has been invaluable to my business!
No other place will you find makers, who often make the same things, never
competing against each other, but rather lifting each other up, helping each
other, and supporting one another. It is truly a incredibly unique, and
priceless dynamic that is hard to find other places. When I have a business or
industry type of question, this group is the absolute first place I go for help
and suggestions. The members are genuine, and are honestly a remarkable group of
people. Donna Maria's vision for the network is progressive and inspiring! Very
grateful for this group and how they have facilitated growth in my business.


Carrie Stevens Seibert



Indie Business Network is THE place to be if you are an artisan/entrepreneur. I
joined about 7 years ago (maybe more?) and it has consistently been the one
thing that has made the biggest impact on both my business and my personal life.
Donna Maria is a natural, effective, no-nonsense-yet-compassionate leader. Her
guidance and wisdom WILL make you a better business owner and a better person.
One of the aspects I most appreciate about Donna Maria and Indie Business
Network is the principle that your business is to be woven into the fabric of
your life, not the other way around. You as a person count more than your
business, but business is never neglected. It's just that IBN gives you the
tools and the mental framework to keep the various facets of business ownership
in their proper places while you truly live out each day to you personal and
professional potential. I can't imagine owning a business and not being a part
of IBN.

   with American Maker from across North America. The wide ranging discussions

   live coaching sessions with our founder and Certified Entrepreneur Mentor,
   Donna Maria.
 * Product liability insurance. This is how you probably found us in your Google
   search. Unlike going to your local insurance broker, who doesn’t have quite
   what you need (or can afford) we have affordable liability insurance
   specifically set up for you, the handmade product makers.
 * Supportive environment. You’re an individual, not one of a thousand fish
   caught in a net. We have the kind of member-driven support that works for you
   and your business. Plus…collaborative opportunities to promote your brand
   through social media, podcast and video.
 * Access to award-winning Certified Entrepreneur Mentor Donna Maria – up close
   and personal. Since 2000, Donna Maria has been going deep with our members,
   offering opportunities for you to get your specific questions answered and
   learn not only from her, but also from everyone else in our knowledgeable and
   supportive community.
 * Practical training from world-class Makers. Several times a year, IBN members
   enjoy a brand new video training with a successful American Maker. The topics
   covered embrace everything you need to be successful, including things like
   setting up brand ambassador programs, creating sales funnels, email
   marketing, wholesale tips and strategies and so much more. You won’t want to
   miss these sessions, and you'll have access to all of the recordings from the
   moment you join.
 * A crazy low price. The Indie Business Network is affordable to anyone who is
   serious about building their business. We want to empower as many people as
   possible, so we are holding the price at less than .67¢ per day. You read
   that right. This price will be good through the end of 2022, so we can roll
   up our collective sleeves with as many American Makers as possible. A rising
   tide lifts all ships, you know …
 * Fun!! At the Indie Business Network, we believe in #HappyBeforeHustle. The
   process of growing a business presents everyday challenges, but that doesn't
   mean it cannot also be fun. Growing yourself and making money at the same
   time is our definition of fun! Indie Business Network is not for everyone,
   but if you like the idea of growing your business and having a blast at the
   same time, you are in the right place. If you are serious about launching a
   brand or taking the one you have to the next level, you can’t afford to miss
   this opportunity. And keep in mind, there is no risk. Membership is annual
   and if you don't like it, you can cancel before renewal time…






HELLO, I'M DONNA MARIA!

FOUNDER + CEO
I founded the Indie Business Network to help you build an online audience of
customers and clients who will buy from you over and over again.



Our #1 priority is to help you leverage the amazing products you created to
build a buying target audience, a loyal community of fans, and a brand that will
serve as the platform for a lifetime of sales opportunities.

You're busy. You are determined. You know that tossing spaghetti at the wall and
hoping some of it sticks is not a strategy. You don't have the time to digest a
million “how to start a business” blog posts, watch thousands of YouTube videos
(most of which are ultimately trying to sell you something), and read business
books until your eyes glaze over.

What you need is a Success Path, and you have found one right here.

IBN is a one-stop shop that eliminates distractions and gives you the critical
ingredients needed to build a buying  audience so you enjoy a never-ending
stream of sales opportunities. IBN puts the coaching and resources you need in a
sequential order you can follow straight to the fulfillment of your business
dreams — all organized in one place.

If you're tired of wasting precious time searching for the right advice or
wondering what you should do first (or next), you have come to the right place.
