FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Onlinegigs is proud to announce its new Empowering Musicians Everywhere Sponsorship program for Music Schools and Non-Profits.

4/25/2004; Boynton Beach, FL - Onlinegigs is proud to announce its new Empowering Musicians Everywhere Sponsorship program. The program grants free use of the Onlinegigs suite of tools to all Music Schools & Non-Profits. Members of these music organizations will have access to educational tutorials, music industry contacts and extremely powerful booking and promotional technology. The program begins with a ?Technology & Booking? seminar at the Tipitinas Music Foundation and Co-Op in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 28, 2004.

Onlinegigs virtually automates the administration of booking and promoting a band or multiple bands. It provides an easy to use, step by step guide to finding booking and promotional opportunities, tracking correspondences, issuing contracts, creating itineraries and generating press releases to the local media in any market in the country. The schools and non-profits are given free use of the resources in exchange for maintaining their local media list. ?These organizations are already keeping track of this information to send communications for their own benefit, now they can hand over the same power to their students and members at absolutely no cost.? Said Jay Flanzbaum, founder of the Onlinegigs community.

?The idea of a dynamic, member maintained directory works best when the members actively use that information for their own benefit. The growth was incredible once members realized they only needed to post their tour date information to their website using Onlinegigs and simultaneously, create a contract, update their whole team, generate an itinerary with directions and send out press releases.? The amount of work involved to pull of that kind off organization is generally the reason most bands don?t succeed. They have a ton of talent and basically no business savvy. Onlinegigs is an attempt to level that playing field. For more information please contact:
