How to Land One - Audio Interviews With Big Names
Forget 99% of the articles out there that are telling you what you need for starting your very own internet based radio station. I’m here to let you know that you can cut your budget by almost 99% by not listening to most of the articles that exist on the web today.
I just has an article about my streaming radio station in the local paper and when the reporter ask how to start an internet radio station I was torn between a couple of answers. Do I lengthen the story and add a few thousand dollars to the budget just to scare away potential competition? Or do I tell the reporter just how easy is actually is, and deal with a few more station on the internet that could potentially steal listeners from me? I chose to tell the reporter exactly what I though was right. I chose to tell him exactly how easy setting up your very own radio station is.
When I started to research what it took to set up a streaming radio station, It was staggering how many articles are out there that told me that I needed thousands of dollars and a web hosting account that would cost an extra 400 to 500 hundred dollars a month to handle the bandwidth and copyrighting issues of running an internet radio station. I actually became quite angry after I had gone through most of the set up of my own station. I realised that a lot of the articles out there were written by people who just wanted to sound smart, simply copied and pasted another articles and had no clue what it took, and the creme de la creme were the people who wrote articles just to scare people out of creating a station because they couldn’t handle the competition. So, the number one item on the list of important things to do before you start you own streaming radio station? Research, and lots of it.
Strong Demand
Reading through the audio books is truly entertaining and convenient. As a result, if you are business minded; starting your own book online store could be a good idea since the profit margins attractive and the demand is strong.
And if my field was something else, say music or health, I’d do exactly the same thing. I’d try to talk to them on the phone and really project a passion for what I was proposing.
But if I couldn’t get them on the phone I’d try to project it in an email. I’d say: “I’m planning on interviewing Bob Bly, Clayton Makepeace, Joe Vitale, John Carlton and Ted Nicholas. I’d also like to interview you”.
To succeed with your audio book online store, you need to advertise, build up a strong customer base and plan ahead for future expansion.
The hosting account is very important. You need enough bandwidth to be able to broadcast to your listeners, but not too much that will break the bank. VPS hosting seems to be the way to go. VPS stands for Virtual Private Server and is pretty close to running your own private server. The thing that I like is that you get tech support and you get to add programs to your hosting account like FFmpeg and Shoutcast/IceCast. The speed of the server is pretty good, and depending on the server, you are 1 of 4 (maybe 6) other clients on the same server. What you really need though is the ability to use telnet or communicate with your account via SSH to start your Shoutcast server, assuming you are using Shoutcast or Icecast. The hosting company I chose to go with after a bit of trial and error was WestHost. They’ve had their share of difficulties in the past, but the past is the past. They offer support that is second to none and the prices are really good. But, shop around and see what’s best for you. And there’s a reason I didn’t mention your Internet Service Provider. They can be a bit grouchy when you decide to use them as your means of stream a radio station. Upload bandwidth is usually topped out at 200 to 500 megs, which means you can only have a finite number of listeners. ISP’s also have rules and regulations about broadcasting or streaming, so double check. If they let you and you don’t need a lot of listeners, then you just dropped you price by another 0.00 or so
