Indie Artist
Spotlight Details:
 CSO is very excited about the
"Indie Artist Spotlight" which
has led to some terrific opportunities for those who have given made
the investment in it. Opportunities like European Tours, duets with
other artists, meeting great
song writers, managers, radio programmers and much more. We can't promise you anything, but you never know who is
reading these pages, and where it might lead you. Here's the way it works:
You get a small picture and name link under the heading of "Indie Artist Spotlight", on the main page for
four or eight weeks, depending on which package you prefer. When the
reader clicks on the link it takes
them to a page dedicated to you within the CSO site. That page will stay on the site
indefinitely. You will also be listed on the Indie Artist Spotlight
menu page
where people can still find you after your run on the main page. You will also be able to say "AS
SEEN ON CountryStarsOnline.com" on your own site and press materials and link back to the page to prove it.
All the content for the feature page would be provided by the artist or artists management including...
- One picture (headshot preferred) up to 350w x 450h pixels.
- One 30 second MP3 song clip.
- A link back to the artists website.
- Artist Profile. Word count max 1000. (please
keep these fairly short, 2 or 3 paragraphs max)
Suggested content: Quick
introduction, bio, music style and then link it back to your own website
for the reader to learn more and hopefully purchase your CD.
This is a very inexpensive way to introduce yourself to a whole new world-wide audience
through CSO, and you can't beat the prices:

"The
Indie Artist Spotlight, has opened a lot of doors for me, being
featured there (and also when I was on the main page before as
well). I have had so much good luck on CSO so far..."
Dear
Jim: 
I
have really benefited from the Indie Artist Spotlight on Country
Stars Online. It has sent a lot more traffic to my music
website and given me more visibility as a Songwriter/Singer.
It is a highly ranked website overall but also well respected in the
Country Music Industry. I would highly recommend this site for
fans as well as anyone in the industry whether it be for checking
out the latest information and editorials concerning your favorite
artist or for advertisement for artists and indie labels. It's
also been a pleasure to work with Jim, the owner and master of the
site! While I've never met him personally, I know he is a
solid, honest guy and would much rather give him my money for
Country Stars Online, than any other music website on the internet! 
"The Indie Spotlight was a great opportunity for
Chris. In addition to lots of great feedback, Chris had a number of
visitors to his booth during the CMA Music Festival (formerly Fan Fair) who
mentioned they had heard about him through Country Stars Online. Indie
Spotlight is a great vehicle for increasing your fan base across the
country."
