Micropatronage is simply defined as a system in which the public directly supports the work of others by making donations of any kind through the Internet. These donations can take many forms and are not limited to cash. Indeed, many Micropatronage donations are free, perhaps in the form of links or reviews written on blogs.

As outlined in the Manifesto, each cycle I will release one album. Furthermore, each cycle this album will be funded, in it’s entirety, via Micropatronage. Every Micropatron will be rewarded for their contribution. You can become a Micropatron in many ways, including, but not limited, to the following.

Link to ashleymorgan.com on your blog, either in a blog post, perhaps as a review, in your blogroll, or in any way you please. Any and all traffic is gratefully received.

Visit any of my sponsors listed in the sidebar, many of which offer completely free trials, and I will receive a small commission which is added to the Micropatronage total.

Make a donation of any amount via Pay Pal.

And now for the rewards.

Every Micropatron, regardless of the size of their contribution, will receive a free copy of 1 album of their choice, in MP3 format at 320 kbps.

After an album has been released it will then be available to purchase from iTunes and other music retailers.

If you make make a cash contribution or use one of my sponsors for which I receive a commission your reward will be greater. The level of reward will then rise proportionally with the level of contribution, as follow. All prices are in US Dollars.
