2 easy ways to manage your DJ site

By DJ Forge

One of the most important things to have as a DJ these days is a strong online presence.  That can be partially attained through various social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, but history has shown that sites come and go over time.  It’s a good idea to have your own website that will serve as the foundation for your online operations.  But what can you do if you’re not a web designer and have little to no experience in making and managing a website? Here are are two services that make it easy to get up and running in no time

Bandzoogle

Bandzoogle, as the name suggests, is a platform geared at helping bands manage their websites, but if it works for bands, it’ll work for us DJs as well.  To me the biggest benefit of bandzoogle is the email list management (complete with statistics to let you know if people are actually reading your emails).

Price: starts at $9.95 monthly for basic options, and up to $19.95 monthly for advanced options.

Virb

Virb was formerly a social networking site geared towards artists and musicians (see what I mean about these sites coming and going?) but has recently done a complete overhaul and relaunched as a website management tool for creative types like ourselves.  They are still in the early stages of their new service, but it already looks promising.  To me one of the best features of Virb is the ability to pull content from other services like Flickr and Vimeo straight into your website.

Price: $10 monthly for everything Virb offers

Obviously everyone’s needs are different but both of these options are straightforward and user-friendly.  Both offer free trials so check them both out and see which works best for you.  One thing is sure for either option: the cost savings are amazing, especially since you don’t have to hire a designer upfront.  You’ll also get the benefit of support from both companies and new features as they release them.  If you try either one, drop a comment and let me know which you liked best and why!
