A podcast covering all things related to music production: from the first note to the last fan and everything in between. We create music and inspire others to do the same. Every episode is a live business meeting between me and Dan (me and Keith) as we build this media empire right before your very eyes/ears.

In this episode we discuss:

It’s the Christmas season of 2023 as of this recording. I talked about how I am recording in my former childhood home and my old room where I used to have an Abbey Road poster on the wall.

We reconfirm that we put everything out there. Mistakes and all. No preparation or rehearsal.

We are starting/learning to use the app Hookle which is a social media scheduler. We’re trying to transition into automated social media posting rather than manual. Which is what we’ve been doing for years!

Dan seems to have a little cold or runny nose.

Hookle is a social media scheduler. They are one of the few (or only) which allows for recurring posts on social media.

This is our initial run-through of using this app. So, on this episode, we are actually learning to use the app and scheduling a post or two.

Up until this day, I had been using the reminders app inside the iPhone to schedule posts. Before starting to use Hookle, I was just getting a reminder on the app, then I would just go in and copy paste the verbiage, click the image and manually post to each social media platform.

We go through scheduling a post which is an advertisement for one of the Handshake albums. We discuss which social media accounts, platforms and profiles to post the ad to. We discuss whether we like the verbiage of the ad. We discuss the frequency of the post and what’s appropriate.

Turns out that the first post we make, is appropriate for quarterly posting but Hookle only does daily/weekly/monthly. So, we decide that this particular post will stay in the reminders app of the phone and continue to be manual.

Then we discuss a bunch of scheduled posts and ads that are potentially duplicative and we delete some and consolidate.

That’s it. Time is up. That’s enough podcasting for the day.
