Haulix Weekly Update #139: “One o’clock, still just a potato.”

This is the weekend we have all been waiting for! After months of promises and continued teasing we are finally launching our brand new, completely overhauled digital distribution platform. Yes, the wait is (almost) over. Join us in celebrating, won’t you?

Each and every weekend 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.

Development news:

The new age of Haulix is almost here. Tonight, at 6PM CST, we are taking our site down in order to launch the new platform. We expect to be out the majority of the weekend, but our team will be working as fast as possible to get things up and running once more.

We say this a lot, but thank you for your continued patience and support throughout the development of this platform. We have spent over a year on this project, and we honestly believe it was time well spent. This is the best platform we can possibly give you, and we cannot wait for the full reveal this coming Monday.

Blog news: 

You know what? Aside from highlighting this week’s podcast, which you really should here, our blog has remained a little quiet. It’s all hands on deck as we prepare to push out this massive update, but starting next week things should return to their usual routine. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. 

Check back here on Sunday for an all-new music industry job board.

Haulix Weekly Update #138: “Dear Mr. President, there are too many states nowadays.”

Hello, everyone! We hope this update finds you staying cool as the summer temperatures begin to roll in. It is currently 83 degree in Minneapolis as we write this post, which for midwesterners like ourselves feels like the surface of the sun. Thankfully, there are a number of crazy good album releases arriving in stores today, and we’re going to try and keep our minds off the heat by enjoying those works. If you need a recommendation, check this out:

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.

Development updates:

What if I were to tell you this is the last or second to last Weekly Update post before the new version of Haulix arrives? I’m not saying that is absolutely true, but I am also not saying it’s a lie. I’m actually not allowed to tell you when the site will be live just yet, but know within 14 days our world is going to change in a big way. More news will come on Monday….

Blog updates:

Now that the new site is basically complete (shhh, you didn’t read that here) we have been recently become able to focus on our blog a bit more. There was a steady stream of content throughout the week, and a lot of it focused on how to improve one’s own email game. You may think email is simple, and it is for the most part, but actually making smart business moves through email can be fairly complicated for the inexperienced. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Check back Sunday for an all-new music industry job board.

Haulix Weekly Update #137: “Isn’t it nice we hate the same things?”

Hello, people of Earth. We hope this update finds you healthy, happy, and able to avoid the harsh heat wave currently plaguing our nation. The last few days have been unusually hot, especially for us here in Minnesota, but our team has managed to stay cool thanks to our constant presence in our air conditioned office. If you do not have AC at home we highly recommend visiting a library, cinema, or restaurant and enjoying their cool air. While you consider your options, watch this:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend 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.

Development news:

We are so close to unveiling the new Haulix. We know we have said that roughly fifteen times in the past, but we have never meant it more than we do right now. The new Haulix is real, and our entire team has seen it in action. We’ve even begun showing clients some of the possibilities. For example, check out this mock promo we pieced together just last night:

Not too shabby, right?

We are keeping the launch date of the updated platform under wraps just in case something comes up, but suffice to so we hope to be pushing things live within the next couple weeks. Again, we have certainly said all this before, but we have never been as close to going live as we are right now. We promise, you only have to wait a little bit longer.

Blog news:

The focus of our outreach this week has been our podcast. We released two new episodes of Inside Music in recent days, and each showcases a unique perspective on this crazy business. The first, with Matt Halpern, tells of what it’s like to be a successful metal band. The second, with Mod Sun, captures the life of a rapper on the rise and all the challenges such a person faces on their journey to global recognition. We are very proud of these episodes, and we hope you find time to enjoy them in the days ahead. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That is all we have for today. Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Best

Haulix Weekly Update #135: “A toast to the host who can boast the most roast”

Hello, everyone! It’s the beginning of July and things are really starting to heat up at Haulix HQ. Everything we have been working towards for the better part of a year is so close to being ready for public consumption that we can hardly contain our excitement. That said, there is still a lot of work to be done, and we’ll most likely spend a good portion of our holiday weekend grinding away at our computers. It’s worth it though, because we know you’re going to love what we have in store. For now, watch this:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend 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.

Development updates:

This week our entire team was given the opportunity to explore the long-awaited Haulix update. For the first time since we started this journey (nearly a year ago) we were all able to see what we have been working towards in action. Bugs and mistakes were found, but that was the point. We want our team to know this platform inside and out so that they can better serve you, the customer, once we are ready to share these changes with the world. 

And believe us, those changes are coming soon.

Blog updates: 

Things on our blog continue to move along swiftly, but as our development teams continues to need assistance completing the impending platform overhaul we have admittedly been focusing the bulk of our energy on that project. Still, we did manage to get several posts out regarding the best methods for surviving this turbulent industry, as well as an in-depth podcast on the state of music blogging today.  If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Check back Sunday for an all-new music industry job board.

Haulix Weekly Update #133: “You traded my soul for pogs?”

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another Haulix Weekly Update. Have you had a good week in the office? It has been unsurprisingly hot in Minneapolis, but our team has been making the best of it with long hours spend in cool offices plugging away at our next big release. We have a few important news items to share, but before we get there we wanted to show you this:

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.

Development updates:

We know you are anxious to see the new version of Haulix, and we’re incredibly excited to share it with you, but unfortunately the wait has just been extended a bit longer. Developing a game-changing platform is no easy task, and unfortunately this week we realized we needed a few extra days to ensure everything is as good as it can possibly be. Our plan is to have the updated platform out by the end of June, so please stay tuned!

Blog updates:

With all the planning and work being put into the next phase of product development we have admittedly put our blog efforts on the back burner a bit. That said, we are still churning out 5-10 original columns every week, including our podcast (Inside Music). We may not be hitting the same quantity we did three months back, but we believe the quality of what we create is better now than ever before. Don’t believe us? Head over to the archives and see for yourself.

That is all the news we have to share this week. Have a wonderful weekend and be sure to check back tomorrow for a brand new Job Board.

Best,

Team Haulix

We told you last week that we were finally prepping for the release of our long-awaited platform overhaul, and we are happy to report we are still on track to meet our desired deadline.

More news on that will appear on this blog in the days ahead.

Blog updates:

If you have been following our daily posts you’ll have no doubt recognized a lot of content being produced as of late. This is admittedly part of a two-fold plan. On one hand, we want to provide you with everything you need to navigate the modern music business. On the other hand, we know as we near the launch of the new Haulix we will not have time for content creation, so we’re shoveling out a lot of posts now to hold you over until we can return to business as usual. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Check back Sunday for an all-new music industry job board.

Activity on the blog was up this week, but content creation is still taking a back seat to work on the new platform. We are quite proud of the material shared as of late, so please take a few moments to experience everything we have prepared for you. The best way to do that, at least in our opinion, is by scrolling through our archives. Enjoy.

Haulix Weekly Update #128: “Shoulda, but didn’t-a”

Hello, music fans! At least, we assume you are music fans. We hope this message finds you ready and excited for the weekend. Our team has been trying to work throughout the day, but the onset of summer has us aching to flee the office and run wild outdoors.

The answer, at least as it stands right now, is the end of May. We have a team of devs working around the clock to get this beast completed, and we even went as far as to outsource additional developers to ensure we can push the new version of Haulix out as soon as possible. We deeply appreciate your patience.
