April 2008 From the Editor
Jason Burchard

Hello again all karaoke friends. Thank you for picking up the newest issue of Karaoke Addiction Magazine.

As I promised last month, the Mic Check karaoke comic has been included in this issue. Look for the comic next to the Classifieds on page 7.

Another promise from last month is fulfilled with the main story of this issue being from another writer. I will likely use the Helium.com writing community to get outside stories. This month’s story was one that I was very touched to read and knew it was the one to feature. Some Helium writers choose to remain anonymous just as the writer of “Karaoke Became A Part of My Father’s Life” chose to do. It’s one of many great stories we’ve received already.

This magazine is growing with lots of expectations but we still need to get some more advertisers in here. If you are interested in advertising or know anyone that may be, please have someone email me directly at jason@karaokeaddiction.com. Take a look at page 5 to see the ad for advertising information. You’ll notice that a display ad can cost as little as $6 per month! And a full page ad in this print edition is only $60 per month. I tell you what, if you are the first advertiser per size (full, half or ¼ page) I will give you 1/3 off the first month! That’s only $40 for a full page ad. This magazine goes out to karaoke joints across the nation-- in Indiana, Utah, Florida, New York, Georgia and Texas. Right now circulation is at 300 magazines and growing at about 50 more per month. Plus, with every print edition ad, your ad will go online for free. So please spread the word if you know of anyone interested. If you sell karaoke equipment or if you have karaoke at your bar or restaurant in one of the states mentioned above, even a 1/8 page ad could help us both out for only $9.50 a month.

As always, let me know if you have any comments, suggestions or questions about the magazine. I look forward to any responses.
