RecordingReview.com Fundraiser

I am all in for a couple of tickets. Just keep us updated.

sounds good to me.

Why not try and raise a bit of cash with compilation CDs....ask forum members to submit music, and every 6 months or something release a 'best of recording review..' pick the best 12 tracks and sell it...might make a few bob... and its also good promotion for recording review and the artists on the CD

[StudioBellwood]

Kind of pulling off of that, why not do what myspace does? Allow people to sell their song on the site for $0.99 and recording review takes a certain % of the prophet.

We'll put my CD's out there and you will have to pay NOT to get one. We'll make a mint, I tell ya!

[pdalmolin]

I have several CD's I've produced that I can get my artists to contribute as well. I also have small cash contributions I can deliver (I live hand to mouth as well). Whatever it takes to make RecordingReview.com continue it's excellent cause.

Sounds like a good idea!

count me in to anything brandon can come up with. The following ideas are great ones:

(1) Donations (although I am not sure I trust paypal ... we could send a cheque?
(2) A "Best of Recording Review 200?" CD .. could have one each year .. I'd buy it for normal CD prices.
(3) selling ppl's CD's online and taking a commission sounds good too
(4) What about a subscription/donation ... You can be a member for as little as nothing a year, but choose to pay if you wish. Normal subscription notifications would remind users about the need for funds.

Anyway, Im sure there are loads of ways to do this and I love this site so count me in.
Brandon you are amazing!!!!

p.s. I had some afterthoughts ...

"RR presents: Best submissions 2007"
"RR presents: Best Metal submissions 2007"
"RR presents: Best Pop submissions 2007"
"RR presents Warped songs 2007" - amusing (on purpose) songs submitted by RR users"
"Bloopers 2007 - funniest mistakes submitted by users" (not a derogatory idea .. just fun)

The mind boggles at the possibilities.

As far as subscription, I think that would kill the site. I would not have come to this site if I had to pay to register. I bet Brandon would even lose money (from the ads) if it went subscription based. I do, however, think that sporadic Fundraisers are the best deal. If you constantly have a "Donate" link up, poeple will ignore it. But if we have like biannual (or even just annual) fundraisers/donation prize giveaways (that isn't a raffle), I know I personally would donate to get a chance to get the "prize". Its a fun little thing that we can do to raise money and get the opportunity to win a cool prize that we all could use.
