We are in the middle of a very exciting time here at Creative Independence. We are in the process of building and launching the new Creative Independence Network. Rather then wait to launch the site at a later date. We’ve decided that this is an incredible learning experience and have invited you, our listener, to follow along with us as we go. Each new podcast episode will feature a task in the chain of events it takes to launch our new site. We will begin by discussing our basic strategy and continue right through to the end where we will build and launch our brand new website. Chris and I will both be blogging about our experiences along the way.
Thanks for joining us, we hope you will find this collection of information helpful in you own quest for Creative Independence.

Welcome to my new blog and welcome to the new Creative Independence site. Chris and I are finally entering phase one of our big new construction project.
If you are a regular listener of our pod-cast Answers for Freelancers/ Creative Independence then you’ve probably heard us mention it a time or two. If you’re new to our show then welcome and thanks for listening.
I’ve started this blog to give you a behind the scenes, bigger view of our development process. Think of it as sort of a backstage pass. Here I’ll attempt to chronicle our many our successes and failures as we continue to grow and evolve. I hope you’ll find the info here useful and thanks again for joining us.
