About IndieMe Academy

If you have been asking yourself, “What is the next right step for my creative business?” you are not alone. You may be selling at shows, preparing for your first market, building an online shop, exploring wholesale, or trying to understand why your current sales are not where you want them to be.

IndieMe Academy provides practical business education and decision tools for handcrafted artists and creative entrepreneurs. It draws on more than 25 years of experience through IndieMe Marketplace and the handcrafted industry, with a focus on the real decisions artists face as they prepare, sell, adjust, and grow.

Education for How You Sell

Retail Foundations focuses on selling directly to customers through markets, shows, pop-ups, online shops, studio sales, and other retail opportunities.

The Wholesale Path helps artists understand, prepare for, begin, or strengthen sales to galleries, boutiques, museum stores, and other retail buyers.

Both learning paths include self-paced lessons, downloads, and practical resources you can apply to your own business.

Tools for Clearer Business Decisions

Already selling and wondering what needs your attention? The Academy also offers two self-guided business tools.

Sales Roadblock is a free diagnostic for artists and makers who have actively offered their work for sale for at least one year. Allow about 8–10 minutes to identify your most likely sales roadblock and receive three practical first actions.

Business Clarity Review is a paid, self-guided business decision tool. Use one product, collection, body of work, or commission type as a practical lens into your larger business. Review pricing, profit, customer response, presentation, sales channels, collection strength, and capacity.

The review provides personalized recommendations, a full printable report, and a personalized 90-day action plan, including a one-page printable plan with 30-, 60-, and 90-day checkpoints. Perfect records are not required. The $49 one-time purchase includes 90 days of access.

Business Clarity Review does not include a course, coaching, or mentor guidance.
