abracanabraThere are more moving parts to this than one might think--this is me trying to figure them out so I know what to do next!
Done:
* Episode 1 written.
* Podcasting equipment and software acquired and tested.
* Art arranged - waiting.
* Revenue model developed (more on that later).
* Music - Summon brass, contact band. (Successful! Permissions acquired!)
* Set up website and acquire domain (http://www.circusofbrassandbone.com). Pages: main, the story behind the story, bio, behind-the-scenes blog feed, donation incentives, special features--make sure donations set up!
* Set up RSS feed for episodes (stuck with funneling this through LJ).
Ongoing:
* Episode 2 being written (backburnered at the moment).
* Story research - alternating reading non-fiction on the era and the circus, and immediately post-apocalyptic fiction on my bus rides, etc. Fun! Lots of notes.
To Do, Pre-Launch:
* Edit Episode 1.
* Record podcast (figure out best reading voice, record, optimize sound).
* Figure out tying episodes into Digg, Fb liking, etc.
* Get some kind of free business cards to hand out to people if they ask.
Post-Launch
* Publicize as much as humanly possible. Jump up and down shouting in public places. Walk around wearing sandwich boards. Whatever it takes.
* Get podcast/serial listed and shared through appropriate distribution hubs.
* Kiva, etc. - try crowdfunding places, too.
To Do, Someday/Maybe/Less Immediately:
* Create iPhone/Google book app?
* Set up CafePress/Zazzle store with merch?
* Community/auction site?
...I think I'm looking at next Tuesday as when it'll be ready for launch after all. I don't want to launch this between Friday and Monday, and I can't get it all ready by--tomorrow! So next Tuesday it is.
