We are nearly at the 200 mark for 2009-2010 members - thanks folks, your support is most gratifying! Hopefully we can surpass 200 by July 31st - there are at least 5 or 6 folks who have promised to mail in or PayPal their membership donations, so we should be able to make it. All memberships expire on the 5th of July each year, so if you were a member for 2008-2009 and haven't joined, you membership (and benefits) has expired.
Here are a few new benefits for 2009-2010 members we have put into effect this year:
1. SUPER SUMMER SALE on banner and side-bar ads for 2009-2010 members only through August. Full info when you join.
2. When you run a banner or a side-bar ad, you can request a free link to run under your ad to a YouTube video - a great way for folks to "sample" your show. (note of caution: if it isn't a great video, you might be better off skipping this benefit)
3. Members who don't have a website and run ads can link their ad to a special web page that I will create FREE which will show a copy of your flier (back & front), or, if you don't have a flier, a page with your photo with a blurb about your show! And that page can then link to the club where you are performing (provided they have one).
4. Your TWITTER URL is now added to your membership listing so folks can find you and follow you more easily. Helps you keep in touch with your friends and fans quickly and economically (in 140 characters or less).
Coming soon: MEMBER GALLERY - head-shots of all 2009-2010 members (who submit them) in a special gallery on the website with a link to your website.
Combining soon: SONGWRITERS' SECTION - to save money and increase promotion of member/songwriters, we will be combining the special CABARET SINGS website into the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website in a special CABARET SINGS section - with links from your member listing in the regular section to your special SONGWRITER page as well. Songwriters without websites will have the same special web page as before to promote their creations. This will be accomplished during the month of August - stay tuned.
You can check out all the 2009-2010 membership benefits, levels (and responsibilities) by clicking on the JOIN HERE button at the top of every page on the website.
