By Marissa Velazquez


With internet broadcasting it is possible for anybody to reach million through a personal radio or television station. There are many options that can be used to create internet radio and stream it either for free or at a small fee. The types of online radio that exist include personal and professional radio. The latter has more features and targets a wider audience.

The details of how the whole process works are a bit complex to the layman but that does not mean you cannot set up your own station. As long as you understand how to operate a computer, you are an expert. There are numerous software programs provided online for fee that can be used. If you are worried about quality then you may have to pay a small fee. The provider acts as a transmitter that serves several users.

Internet based radio and television stations may be set up just for fun or as a revenue generating venture. Those who create them for fun may do so with the aim of sharing various aspects of their life with their friends or close relatives. Revenue generation can be achieved through a number of ways. Commonly, one can use them for advertising client products and get paid in return.

For this exercise to be successful, there are a number of things that must be in place. For example, there should be a concept in place. You need to know exactly what it is that you want to air. In this regard, creativity is great strength. With so many other players already present online, you need to give your listeners and viewers a good reason to visit your site and actually remain tuned in.

The next step is to come up with a clear schedule about the content and times of airing. You may choose either to broadcast live or to air recorded content. Of course you also need to clearly identify your intended audience. Once you know who your target is, it will be possible to tailor your programs based on their tastes and preferences.

To start the streaming, you also need to get some graphics and content description on your site. Some of the sites that allow for free broadcasting provide the service on condition that advertised content is placed on the videos. A webcam or a digital camera can be used to create videos in the case of a telecast. If your budget allows, you also acquire video editing equipment and a powerful camera.

Broadcasting can be added to a pre-existing website or one can be created just for this purpose. All that is required to is for one to download the software and install it. The files are scanned by the player and presented as fully featured streaming. It is possible to move, delete and rename various files so as to update the content that is being streamed. There may be a feature that allows one to interact with their audience as the broadcast goes on such as live chat.

Internet broadcasting has grown in leaps and bounds within the last couple of years. This growth is mainly attributable to the growing number of internet users. In some places in the world these rates are said to be as high as 80%. Many applications have been created to support live streaming of media through mobile phones.
