Orientation

Thank you for joining spinme.com!

We are so glad to have you as a member of our growing community. I hope you take advantage of all of your membership benefits. This e-mail outlines a few of the quickest ways you can start putting your membership to work for you.

1. CREATE A POSTING ACCOUNT.

For security purposes, our billing database and our member weblog run on two different pieces of equipment. Therefore, there’s one more step for you to complete before you can fully participate in our online community.

Follow this URL:
http://153vip.com/spinme/createaccount.html

(You will need to log in with your master username and password.)

Fill out the very small form, and the system will set up an account for you to post on the member weblog. From now on, you will use your master username and password to reach the members-only area, and you will use your weblog account to post new items.

2. START POSTING SOME ITEMS.

You can get the most specific help with your music business strategies by posting your questions or ideas to our members-only weblog. Click on the “post a new item” link in the Member Links navigation bar. Then, log in to the weblog with your posting account.

Once you’re in, give your posting a clear, descriptive title. For example, “Selling more CDs at shows” is a much better title than “Need help.” It allows your moderators and fellow members to quickly scan the weblog for posts that are more relevant. This way, you can get answers to your posts much more quickly.

In general, Joe will respond to direct requests for help by the close of the next business day. (Unless he is on the road, and he will post that information along the way.)

3. SIGN UP FOR SOME CLASSES.

Take advantage of as many live classes as you can! Just follow this URL:
http://spinme.153vip.com/index.php?catid=6&blogid=1

Each class has an e-mail address next to it on the listings page. Send a blank e-mail to this address to guarantee yourself a spot on the call. You will receive an e-mail with all of the instructions you will need to join us on the call.

4. SUBMIT A SUPPORT TICKET IF YOU NEED HELP!

If you have any questions about your membership, feel free to contact us through our online helpdesk, at:
http://153vip.com/uhoh/

If you have never submitted a support ticket before, you will need to create a helpdesk account. You can use the same username and password you used for your main account, if you like.

5. PLAY NICE, AND HAVE FUN.

Be courteous to your fellow members when responding to posts. All of the usual terms of service apply. Remember that the more specific requests you make, the more useful information you will receive from Joe and from your fellow musicians.

There are no stupid questions, so get posting!!!

Sincerely,
the spinme.com team
