Decide What Your Goals Are

So, you want to be a broadcaster? Great! Lucky for you today's technology allows anyone to do what was once limited to a small percentage of people. Now YOU can become a broadcaster, YOU can be the DJ, YOU can be the Program Director who decides your broadcast to the world - thanks to the Internet.

There are several approaches to webcasting and which one you choose depends on your goals. If you are truly inspired to begin a Internet-based Radio station that operates for the purpose of profit and generating revenue, your path will be different than from the person who just wants to set up a broadcast to simply share his or her CD collection with friends.

There are excellent options for the novice which require very little technical knowledge. If you can create or assemble MP3 files, upload them and choose a few options, you can reach a global audience!

So, keep reading because you're about to enter the world of online Radio.
