Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Teppy are you interested in DE or CE work on science textbooks (college)?

I just saw this post this morning, but -- I might be, depending on the timeline and number of hours. My main client keeps adding journals, and my workload keeps increasing, which is fine, but it does cut down on the hours I have available for other projects.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Is anyone able to advise me on creating a social media presence & editorial calendar for my stepfather? He's a jazz musician, and he wants to have more of a social media profile, so he wants to hire me to manage that. Which is great, except that I'm not there, so I need him (or my mom) to take pics, record video of gigs, etc.

I'm thinking a Facebook page, a YouTube channel, and an Instagram, along with a blog on his website (which I also need to revamp). Does anyone have any other ideas or advice for content?

Thanks!

Would Twitter be worthwhile? Or maybe evaluate the need for it/usefulness of it later, after the initial social media accounts have been launched?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I find all of that pretty easy with Wordpress, if you're going to be redoing the website. You can tie in a YouTube channel, a Google calendar, FB, and presumably all kinds of other social media.

The new website will definitely be via WordPress, just so he can manage the content if he wants to instead of sending it over to me.

If I can get him on to Twitter, yes, but I think that would have to be after the initial launch. He doesn't even update his current FB profile with gig info, so that's the first habit I need him to start. (Or just keeping me updated with that info so I can post it. I'm not picky.)

You can post to the WP blog by email, and then maybe have that update FB automatically?

Juliana, a friend recommended IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/). I believe that it allows one post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc that posts across platforms.

What is even happening?

Juliana, this is mostly way over my head, but if you sign up for a Buffer account, you can post social media updates to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and G+ with just a couple of clicks.

IFTTT is pretty sweet for platforms that would otherwise not talk to each other. (Tumblr, I'm glaring at you.)
