Anything about MUSIC but doesn't fit into the forums above.

I have content. A twice weekly podcast that's ready to start publishing, along with some print content suitable for a blog.

I've read the books, guides, how-to's and whitepapers on how to do this, and, I think, I have a reasonable understanding of what's involved. But I'm not a kid anymore, and I really don't have the energy to be piecing this together myself from scratch (the same reason I use presets - :hihi: ). I probably COULD do it (and I've taken some steps to try) but I keep thinking that in this climate there has GOT to be a whole industry that takes that burden off you for a reasonable price.

Problem is, I'm not really sure I know what to ask for, or who to ask. So here's the short list of what I would like:

1. A nice website supporting a blog and an audio podcast, maybe the occasional video, and, possibly a message board.
2. A reasonable hosting solution for the podcast content and some guidance on how best to format, upload and store episodes with the smallest possible footprint.

3. Get listed on iTunes.

4. Guidance on the best way to connect social media (Twitter/Facebook).

So obviously, I'd like to get set up and just be able to create my content, post it, and manage it without worrying about the rest.

I'm sure there has got to be more than a few KVR'ers that look at this and can do it in their sleep. While this project is not a moneymaker for me, I don't mind spending a bit to get up and running--as long as it does, indeed, get me up and running.

As always, I appreciate any and all suggestions and referrals. For any pros that want to contact me directly with proposals, please feel free to PM me.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers

Sorry, it doesn't come easy like that. It actually takes some hard work! Got a domain name? Tried installing wordpress? Those should be the first steps I think. Then take it slowly, build it up brick by brick...

Sorry, but it does. Business is about outsourcing. The services I'm asking about are available. Just not here, apparently.

Absolutely this service exists, but I don't know of anyone or anywhere that you can go directly for it, other than sites that set up simple websites like Web.com and Wix.com.

It's pretty easy to set up a vBulletin forum and install plug-ins and styles for quicker get-up-and-go, and I'm sure someone on their website would be willing to set it all up for you for a fee (including vBulletin themselves). You can get a version of their publishing and forum software that has blogs and a content management solution and pay them to install it for you (I'd be willing to do that part...).

Other than that, I know there are people that can set up Wordpress sites.

I guess depending on what you're offering, I could offer a domain, hosting, and vBulletin (site and maintenance) for you. I have no idea what I'd charge. Let's negotiate if you're interested. :)

Meantime, I really do appreciate you chiming in.

if you can host yourself, wordpress plus some plugins can do the job, easily.
