Create Your Own Online Radio Show
An excellent way to get your message across is to use online radio as a forum for creating a radio show. More and more people are listening to podcasts and listening to their favorite shows through portable music players, which provides you with an opportunity to start a show to share your point of view, opinions and resources over the internet.
Podcasts are saved directly after they are recorded, allowing you to add them to online websites or make them available for download by anyone who wants one. There are internet programs that allow you to have callers give you feedback or ask you questions while the show is being recorded, making each program completely informative.
The first step in starting a show of your very own on online radio is to make sure you have the proper equipment to begin recording. You will need a comfortable headset with a microphone, recording software on your computer, and a program that will help you to edit your recording to prepare it to be placed on the internet. You will also need an extension converter program to ensure that you can save your show in a format to be downloaded.
The second step in creating your online radio program is to make sure you create an outline of your show, kind of like a template, that you can follow for each show. You will want to have a welcome or introduction, a segment on news or facts, a question answering section, or some other vital parts as a format that you can stick to with each show. It is important to do this in order to keep your program organized.
The third step is to come up with at least 5 - 10 online radio programs that you can record, to get a database going. You don't want your potential audience to become bored with only 2 - 3 choices to listen to when you first come on the air, so be sure to create a nice amount of listening choices so that as you create more, you will have enough to whet your audience's appetite.
The fourth step is to seek out advertising options so that you will create a following of listeners to your online radio show. You have plenty of choices for creating traffic to your show, and the first thing you should do is create a simple web page where your show can be showcased. As you create links, comment on blogs, and add banners to your website, other individuals who will want to link to your information will be able to find you there.
