| From the Where2sing.com forum: James... I think it's just another case of someone who has been in the industry a long time wondering why there's yet another place (website) going after his hard-earned money. And hits don't necessarily turn into income - it all depends on how the website captures people and moves them towards a sale. Really all a subscription to W2S does for hosts is to give them access to what's going on in karaoke, and there are only a few hosts who appear to know how to use this to advantage.
Certainly, I would not think of running any kind of business without ensuring I had all the industry information, but there are still many who don't see the point in this. In the old days in my industry we took a trip to Germany for the 4-yearly worldwide exhibition, so when the Internet came along and allowed us to keep up on world events without any travelling, it was an easy decision between a budget of $12,000 for two people for a couple of weeks in Germany and a $50 subscription. But some hosts do it the hard way....
