MORE "HERE & THERE" PART II - BLOG EDITION

===============
MORE "HERE & THERE" PART II
===============
As soon as I get the special, revised MEMBERSHIP JOIN HERE page up and running, you'll be able to join/renew as a 2010-2011 member on line. This new year I can't think of anyone who won't be able to afford a CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE membership, since memberships start at just $5! We listed all the types, costs and benefits on the new 2010-2011 memberships in last Thursday's newsletter, so I won't repeat it all here. But if you would like to be an "early bird", send me an e-mail today at stuhamstra@svhamstra.com naming which level you want to purchase and I'll send you a PayPal invoice (you must use PayPal if your membership is in the $5-$19 range, since my bank gets a little irritated if I deposit too many small checks). If you wish to join as a SILVER ($20) member and above, and you prefer to pay using a check, please remember, all checks should be made out simply to STU HAMSTRA and mailed to 676A Ninth Avenue #120, New York, NY 10036. Please include your e-mail address with your check.

Here are the levels:
$5 - $19 - SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP (basic CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE discount card & website listings)
$20 - $49 - SILVER MEMBERSHIP - rebated fully towards first banner ad in membership year + free CD sale page and blog/youtube links.
$50 - GOLD MEMBERSHIP - 15% discount on banners + 5 CD sales spots and blog/youtube links.
$100 - CRYSTAL MEMBERSHIP - 25% discount on banners + unlimited CD sales spots and blog/youtube links.
$250 - PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP - 35% discount on banners + unlimited CD sales spots and blog/youtube links.
$500 - DIAMOND MEMBERSHIP - 50% discount on banners + unlimited CD sales spots and blog/youtube links.
$1000 - DIAMOND SELECT MEMBERSHIP (same as DIAMOND but comes with 2 FREE tickets to our next annual Birthday Party plus 6 free weeks of SUPER-SIZE BANNER ads.

All benefits for each level of membership will be on the website in the next day or so - just click on the JOIN HERE button at the top of every page.

2010-2011 Membership cards will start going out on May 5th (2010) and will be valid through July 5th, 2011.

FINAL CALL FOR COMMENTS: I'm still seriously studying whether to continue the CABARETSINGS.COM website. While the website continues to get about 100 visitors a day, there seems to be a complete lack of interest on the part of new songwriters to join the program. Inclusion on the website only involves joining as a member at any level - so before asking the current partipants to rejoin for 2010-2011, I must come to a decision. Several songwriters listed have reported song requests/sales through the site, but with so few currently involved, I need to decide if it is all worth the effort involved.
