One must have compassion to put in the time that Vince puts into this MAS site. My guess is that he was scammed or conned out of something at one time or another. I think yes, you can afford 33 cents a day. Get a small ad at first and then expand from there. At least do your part to keep this site alive and running.
Ads are what do it.
Soon to be released on MAS is a section for Independent Contracts for you musicians to use for your gigs. When Vince does place them on his site I would suggest that you still take them to some legal person you trust if the gig is an important one for your band and you. You do NOT work for them. Tell them what you want, don't ask them what you want. Be clear, brief and right to the point.
