5) Help Launch MAG into the Charts
You have probably read about the MAG Song 'It means so much' by Stranger in The Road (MAG's member magazine), or on the web, or Facebook, or by word of mouth. MAG has been given a unique and fantastic offer by the music producer of the artist Stranger. If MAG members can get the song listed in the iTunes Download chart, MAG will get 50% of every record sale. In addition, if the song charts, then MAG will be given the artist free of charge, to perform at any two events, and possible further song deals. This could net MAG tens of thousands of pounds in income, and all it takes is for MAG members (and friends) to download the track, for just 79p, make it hit the iTunes Download chart, and we can help MAG change the face of riders rights in the UK.
So, what is in it for the music producer, as no one does Owt for Nowt (unless tha does it for thi sen)? ... Well, quite simply, this is a mutually beneficial deal - they get to promote their artist, sell tracks, get radio air play, and they make a lot of money ... but so does MAG. The music producer has already spent five times their agreed amount to produce the song, and they are deadly serious about making a success of this. With such commitment in MAG, we should match this and we can make MAG a serious income, very easily.
All you have to do is download the MAG Song 'It means so much' by Stranger, from the iTunes website: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/it-means-so-much-single/id849113953?ls=1
If you are not an iTunes user, the song can also be purchased from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/It-Means-So-Much-Stranger/dp/B00J9Y3YBK
All it will cost to download the track is 79p at the most. The song is released 4th May but we need people to pre-order it before then, as that will ensure it makes the charts upon release. To secure radio 'air time', stations need to see Stranger's Facebook page has thousands of 'likes', so please visit: www.facebook.com/strangermusiclondon and 'like' the page, this costs nowt.

Please share with all your Friends. Together, we can top the charts and make MAG unstoppable.
*** LATEST NEWS as of 2nd May 12:00 ***
We have reached 93% of the sales needed to make this song chart, and need a mere 3,222 more people to order 'It Means So Much' by Stranger. If we can do this it will hit the top 40 and if that happens everything becomes possible. It is going to cost 79p but the difference this will make to MAG will be unprecedented. Right now the first of the major Yorkshire rallies is under way but we can't predict the weather throughout the summer and we have to diversify our sources of income. Thank you for your support as members but PLEASE DO THIS ONE THING AND DO IT NOW ..... BUY THE SONG (if you haven't already).
Thank you
