Good afternoon, everyone! Many of you have the day off thanks to America’s love of turkey, but the growing number of press releases in my inbox tells me there are several industry vets hard at work. This post can help fill your free time and distract you from another day at work. A little something for everyone, if you will. For example, we bet everyone can find a reason to love this:
Each and every Friday we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.
The holiday kept us from completing any new platform releases this week, but we did inch closer to another round of development updates. I’m not allowed to tell you exactly what we have in the works, of course, but it will simplify the lives of clients and press alike. While we wait, why not make use of these recent updates:
Bandwidth Usage Alerts
The system will now send you an email alert when you hit 80% bandwidth usage for the month.
Bandwidth Usage Graphs
The bottom of your dashboard has a new function, “Show Promo Bandwidth”. Click the link and yellow bars will appear showing how much bandwidth has been used per the lifetime of each promo measured in gigabytes.
Plan Change Alerts
Anytime you upgrade, downgrade, hibernate or cancel your account, you will now receive a confirmation email.
On the blog end of things, the past seven days saw a nice bump in content creation. We have been trying to better our output without jeopardizing the overall quality of our content, and I believe we have found a way to do just that. A lot of it is owed to our friends Andrew Jones and Lueda Alia, two influential industry stars on the rise who have dedicated time to contributing content to this site. We love them, and it’s clear from your response to their work you feel the same. I (James, the guy who writes 99% of what you see here) have a few additional industry friends I hope to bring into the fold in the months ahead. If you’d like to join that group, please contact me through social media.
In case you missed anything important this week, here’s a rundown of our most recent posts:
Six Tips For Improving Your Black Friday Sales
An Introduction To Evaluating Music Publications
One Great Way Artists Can Avoid Annoying People On Facebook
Six Tips For Lowering The Cost Of T-Shirts
Music Industry Job Board (11/23/14)
We have a TON of killer content planned for December, and we hope you’ll stick around to see what we have in store. For now, stay warm and enjoy any time with family you’re able to find. We’ll return on Sunday with an all-new job board.
Best,
Haulix
