Of those people who want to start their own online radio station, only a few bring this idea to life. The point is that someone thinks that this process is too expensive. Some believe that a lot of computer resources are required. Others are convinced that taxes must be paid for this type of activity. In fact, this is not the case.
Instructions
Step 1
Connect to high speed internet. The only thing that costs money for your internet radio station is a fast and constant connection. For broadcasting to be good, a speed of two megabits is required. It will be enough to prevent overloads, jams and other things.
Step 2
If you actively use the World Wide Web, install a five-megabit Internet if you have such an opportunity. The fact is that although two megabits may be enough for you, but if you start downloading files, looking for information on the network, etc., then the listeners of your radio will immediately know about it due to interference. Five megabits or more will allow you to fully enjoy the Internet without harming your radio listeners.
Step 3
Visit the Nullsoft website. Download three free apps from this resource: SHOUTcast DNAS Plug-in, Soundcast server and Winamp. The latter is a popular turntable. The Soundcast server will be your radio channel. And SHOUTcast DNAS Plug-in is the connecting part of your online radio. It is this program from the Winamp application that was installed on your computer that will make the radio station.
Step 4
Select the music to play. When installing the server on a resource, specify the format and style of music. Other users will find your radio station in the general list, and turn it on.
Step 5
Then everything depends on you. Play the role of a DJ on your website. Send the link to your friends and listen to your favorite music together. Arrange an advertising campaign in social. networks and other popular resources to turn radio into a way of income. Create your own group on social networks, invite your virtual friends to it as members. Create topics for discussion, polls. This way you will know what kind of music to play on the radio.
