How it works

Find the right site. Explain the fit. Let the owner decide.

Indie Chains is a collaboration network for indie site operators. Free publishers can list through a verified banner; premium members use it to find relevant editorial placement ideas, send context-first requests, and let each site owner decide what is useful for their audience.

Indie Chains replaces random cold outreach with a reviewed network and a clear request workflow. The platform helps members meet and communicate; it does not sell links or control what another site publishes.

01

Publish free or submit for review

Create an account and add a real site. Keep the Indie Chains banner visible to publish free, or use premium manual review to qualify as a request sender.

  • Free publishers can receive and complete requests after badge verification.
  • Premium members browse the private network and initiate requests.
  • A premium sender site must still pass manual review.

02

Find a relevant match

Premium members browse eligible sites and look for a page, audience, or topic where their product would genuinely help the reader.

  • Use category, site details, and placement preferences to judge fit.
  • Request credits limit volume and discourage bulk outreach.
  • No member is required to accept a request.

03

Discuss and confirm

Send a contextual request, talk through the idea in messages, and confirm the collaboration only when both sides are satisfied.

  • The receiving member can accept, reject, or ask questions.
  • Each site owner controls what gets published on their site.
  • Indie Chains does not guarantee links, rankings, or traffic.

What keeps it useful

Quality comes from limits and human decisions.

Software membership

You pay for access to discovery, requests, messaging, moderation, and billing tools.

Human review

Sites are checked for quality, ownership, relevance, and obvious spam risk.

Voluntary collaboration

Members decide independently whether a proposal is useful for their readers.

No outcome promises

A membership or accepted request never guarantees rankings, traffic, or business results.
