Internet radio shows are becoming the next big thing, with no signs of this slowing down anytime soon. Having a radio show is an effective way to get new customers, and grow your relationships with current ones. It is also a great way to establish yourself as an expert in your particular field.

You may be under the impression that publishing a radio show online is difficult or requires special equipment. Nothing could be further from the truth. There have been many advancements in technology and you can get started for very little upfront cost. You also have the option of monetizing your radio shows by accepting sponsors or promoting affiliate programs, which will definitely make up for expenses you accrue.

When it comes to recording your internet radio show, you have a few options. Audio Acrobat is a monthly subscription service that makes recording a radio show or podcast very easy. You can use a microphone connected to your computer or you can simply use your telephone. You will be given a special phone number that you can dial into, and this is also a great way to record testimonials and feedback from listeners or quick tips from featured experts.

When it comes to interviewing someone, you have a few options. You can use Audio Acrobat. Or, you can simply reserve a teleconference line. There are free options available, which you can find by doing a search online. Once you have confirmed the teleconference number, you give that number and pass code to the person you are interviewing. You then both call the teleconference line, and also three-way call the Audio Acrobat number and record the conversation you have.

You can also use internet based Skype, which allows you to talk to other Skype users for free (you will be charged a fee when talking to people not registered with Skype). You simply connect a microphone to your computer and log into the Skype program. There is a dialer system that allows you to contact anyone with a phone number. Skype allows you to record the conversation, and you can then upload that audio file into Audacity.

What is Audacity? It is a free mixing and editing program that lets you combine several audio files into one single file. You can take your commentary, your interviews, your ads, etc, and create one audio file. At this point you use the free Lame Recorder to convert your file into an MP3.

If you have subscribed to Audio Acrobat, you can upload your Mp3 file into your account and have it hosted for free. You can create a streaming audio player to add to your site, which your visitors can listen to at their leisure. You also have the option of providing a link that allows your visitors to download your audio to their computer or Mp3 player. In fact, Audio Acrobat has iTunes integration, so your listeners can automatically receive your new recordings.

If you choose not to go with Audio Acrobat, you can still put your audio files on your site. You will have to make sure with your hosting provider that you have enough space to upload it, as audio files certainly take up a lot of space.

Creating your own internet radio show can be such an easy endeavor. It is worth looking into as it can not only be simple, but also quite profitable.
