Podcasting Packages

1. Complete Startup Advice - £25 per hour (or part thereof)
   I'll spend at lease an hour with you discussing your requirements & needs for your podcast. After understanding what you need, I'll recommend the steps & places you need to visit to get your podcast out there to your audience.
   
   
2. Full Setup Assistance - £50 (3 hours dedicated assistance)
   In order to publish your podcast, you'll require two core items, web hosting & a 'feed'. The web hosting is where you will publish the files (audio/video/images) and there are a vareity of hosts - I can recommend a reliable host with suitable bandwidth* and arrange setup for you. The 'feed' is a special text file formatted in XML which provides the name, length, description, file type, category, & file location etc... of your podcast items. Software such as Feedforall can assist in generating these 'feeds'. As part of the setup package I'll create your first XML 'feed' and show you how to update & maintain in future. At the end, you'll online and ready for subscribers.
   
   
3. Managed Podcast - £150 per podcast per year (based on a weekly update)
   Not sure about hosting? or not comfortable working with XML code? Don't want the worry of hosting files yourself? Sick of bandwidth exceeded messages? Or just too busy to worry about the lot? Then no need to worry, the managed podcast package is just for you. You supply the content (audio/video/images) & I will take care of the rest for you working on your podcast for up to an hour per week. I will take care of all your hosting requirements, register your domain if required & I will maintain your podcast feed, ensuring it runs reliably and quickly at all times. This package is popular with DJ's who are looking for promo/mixtape hosting without the fuss. I will also manage getting your podcast listed on podcast directories & on the iTunes** store - accessible from iTunes, iPhones & iPods worldwide.
