What is an Indiecall?

IndieCalls are short, interactive presentations that give small business owners, programmers, writers, artists, and other creative people a way to showcase their work and connect with potential clients,

collaborators, and investors. IndieCalls are like mini-conferences for people who work alone or with a small team and need opportunities to meet,

collaborate, or network with others in a similar field.

They also provide a way for people who don’t know each other to get to know each other. IndieCalls are a perfect way to attract people who are interested in your business and

are looking for ways to support it. And with the right IndieCalls, you can also attract clients, collaborators, and investors who don’t know about you yet.

What to include in your Indiecall

The guidelines for submitting a talk are simple:

* The talk should be 10 minutes or less.

* It should be about a topic you can teach someone in 10 minutes.

* You must have something to show your audience. This could be a presentation, video, demo, PPT presentation, or other visuals.

* The talk must take place over video chat (skype or google hangouts).

* You must submit the Indiecall form by the deadline.

How to host an Indiecall

It's easy to host an Indiecall—all you need is a space, a laptop, and a webcam.

If you're not sure where to hold your Indiecall, think about spaces in your community that are popular for networking events or lectures. Libraries,

college campuses, coffee shops and other public spaces are all great ideas for hosting your Indiecall. For example, if you're trying to attract new clients who are photographers and also want to reach out to people beyond your local area,

then holding an event at a photography conference would be perfect!

You can also use the space at work during lunchtime or on Fridays when the office goes quiet. And if you have access to any meeting rooms around town that don't get much use on weekdays during the afternoon or evening hours, those might be good places as well.

As long as there is a space with video capabilities and wifi access nearby, you'll be ready to go!

How to give an Indiecall

You might be wondering what exactly an Indiecall is. Well, it’s not too difficult to get started on your own Indiecall. All you need to do is create a short and sweet presentation that showcases your work and explains why people should support it.

Share this presentation on social media, email it out to people you know, post it on your blog, or post in groups related to your industry or demographic. The goal is to give potential leads a chance to learn more about you and what you have going on without asking for anything from them.

The key thing to remember when giving an Indiecall is that you’re not asking for anything from these prospective clients, investors, collaborators, or supporters. You’re just showcasing your work and telling people why they should care about it or how they can help with it.

If someone wants to contact you after the call, great! But don’t push them into doing so – just let them make their own choice after they learn more about you through the call.

You will have a 15-60 minute presentation during the call. Make sure it includes:
