Soul-Patrol Times 2.0: Events, News and more…

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SOUL-PATROL TIMES?:

The purpose of the Soul-Patrol Times news/information service is to keep Soul-Patrol.com site visitors and subscribers informed with announcements of upcoming events, artist releases, press releases, internet broadcasts/chat sessions and other interesting things going on in the world of Great Black Music From The Ancient to the Future

This service can be used to announce local, national, and international online/offline events, gigs, internet radio shows, website updates, album releases, DVD releases, a new book and more. Do you have a video online? an update to your MySpace page? a Blog that you want to tell people about? A chat session coming up? Running a contest?

Let us help you to tell other people about it on soul-patrol!!! We will post it on our website and send it out via email once/week.

And it’s available at a very reasonable cost, that I am quite sure would fit your budget ($10-$30/mo).

WHAT WILL YOUR LISTING LOOK LIKE?:

Here is what the text ad looks like on the Soul-Patrol Website and inside of the weekly Soul-Patrol Times mailings:

Here is what the detailed listing for MauriceWatts.com’s Patti LaBelle Interview looks like when a reader clicks on it.

When a reader clicks on your text ad they are then taken to your detailed listing. Inside of your detailed listing you can put as much information (including graphics) as you would like. You can also include links back to your website, to your MySpace page, Your YouTube page, your email address or anything else that you would like.

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE WILL SEE YOUR LISTING?:

If you have a web presence (your own website, Myspace page, YouTube Video, CD Baby Page, etc) and if any of the search terms above are important to you, then you would be well served with a listing on the Soul-Patrol Times. That’s because the people who are surfing the internet and looking for those terms are going to eventually find their way to the Soul-patrol.com website where they will be able to see your listing.

In addition to high search engine rankings, accross the board, Soul-Patrol has incoming links from many thousands of websites and blogs, accounting for its worldwide reach of 500,000 page views each month and 50,000 email subscibers each week. Your listing will not only be seen by a large number of people, but also rest assured that they are people who are actually interested in the content of your listing, if any of the search terms above are important to you.

HOW DOES IT WORK:

The information that you see is sourced from an online calendar application, where subscribers to this service can post detailed information, including links to whatever websites, sound files, graphics, etc that they wish to.

Within 24 hours or less, we then take this information and create the scrolling feed of information that you see on the right and distribute it all over the Soul-Patrol.com website, the websites of our network members and to individual subscribers via an RSS news feed.

If you “hover” you mouse over the scrolling text, the scroll comes to a stop.
If you click on one of the “headlines”, then a new web page will pop up, displaying the details about that headline, including any links that the subscriber has included as a reference for you.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST:

1. You are a singular entity (artist, writer, etc) that will be posting about a singular thing (usually yourself). The cost is $10.00/month if you make the postings yourself. If you prefer to email us the postings and have us put them up for you, then the cost is $15.00/month

2. You are representing multiple entities (record company, venue operator, club owner, booking agency, public relations firm, book publisher, radio network, umbrella organization, etc). The cost is $20.00/month if you make the postings yourself. If you prefer to email us the postings and have us put them up for you, then the cost is $30.00/month

3. If you purchase the service for one year upfront then discounts apply:

a. Singular entity account: 100.00/year (if you make the postings yourself), $150.00/year (if we make them for you).

b. Multiple entity account: $200/year (if you make the postings yourself), $320.00/year (if we make them for you).
