How to start an internet radio station

Here in the US , owning a terrestrial radio station is beyond the reach of the average person. That’s okay though, because terrestrial radio stations are losing listeners… not just to satellite and cable radio, but Internet Radio too.
In fact, the latest statistics show that Internet Radio is poised to become one of the main sources of supplemental audio entertainment over the next 10 years.
In this article, we’re not going to promise great riches. If you’re interested in starting your own radio station for profit, you’ll face the same challenges and hurdles that any other online business has to overcome. Good luck with that. But most Internet Radio stations are hobbies. They don’t make much, or any money… they do, however, bring enjoyment to operators and listeners alike. And how do you put a price on that?

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
