That's right - Fentriss.com used to cost money, just to sign up.
</p>
<p>
Like any artist, I wanted to be paid for my music. But then I realized: wouldn't it be more fun just to allow my true fans to sign up for free?

And it has been fun. In fact, some of you still insist on hitting the "$10 tip" button when you unlock secret stories.

I discovered that people are more willing to pay for music after they already love it - not before they even get a chance to put it on their iPod.

<p>
But then, I'm lucky - Club Steve USA members are the best fans in the world. Perhaps other artists don't experience the same thing as I do.

Fentriss.com is free! Bring your friends.
