Breaking Free Creator Marketplace is where independent creators publish and sell books, music, courses, audiobooks and films, and where buyers keep everything in one library.
It sits alongside the Breaking Free book, app, training and global community. The aim is not to overwhelm people with technical language. It is to make creating, discovering and sharing original work simple, practical and accessible.

Tony Bello and Chris Hilaire created Breaking Free with a shared mission: to make important subjects easier for everyday people to understand, then give them a place to create, share and earn.
Co-Author, Software Engineer and Technology Innovator
Tony Bello is a software engineer, author, trainer and technology innovator with more than 30 years of experience working across the UK and Africa. He is the co-author of the Breaking Free book, the developer behind the Breaking Free app and the architect of its Polygon-based smart-contract system. He also built this Creator Marketplace so independent creators can publish books, music, courses, audiobooks and films on the same Breaking Free rails.
Tony has worked through major stages of technological change, from personal computing and the internet to mobile technology, cloud computing, blockchain and artificial intelligence. His mission is to make complex subjects easier for everyday people to understand and use responsibly.
The future should not belong only to people who understand complicated technology. Education should give everyone the opportunity to understand, participate and make informed decisions.
Co-Author, Community Builder and Direct-Sales Professional
Chris Hilaire brings decades of direct-sales, communication and people-development experience to Breaking Free. After beginning his own journey into cryptocurrency and finding the subject confusing and filled with technical language, Chris worked with Tony Bello to create a straightforward introduction for everyday people.
Chris helps ensure that Breaking Free remains practical, beginner-friendly and focused on real human concerns, including how creators and affiliates use this marketplace.
I understood how confusing crypto could feel for a beginner because I experienced that confusion myself. Breaking Free was created to help people start with simple language, honest education and practical guidance.
Tony brings technology, software, blockchain and education experience. Chris brings communication, direct-sales and people-development experience. Together they built Breaking Free, and this marketplace, so everyday people can learn, create, share and earn.
With almost 10,000 Breaking Free affiliate members across more than 36 countries, original work published here can travel further than a single storefront.
