Dear Friend,
Have you ever wondered why the big name gurus have tons of
raging fans and big lists?
Well, they have a special website that squeezes the name and
email address out of people and builds their list of hot, rabid
subscribers.
The average person on the Internet believes this myth: You can
only have one website.
Not true, let me break this myth for you. If you want to
volcanically erupt your subscribers then you *must* have another
site called a 'Power Squeeze' site.
(The only purpose ...

Careers in radio, like elsewhere in the industry, are never an easy road and finding the perfect job for you will require both a knowledge of the radio industry and knowledge of yourself.
A degree in media or radio production is an advantage but not essential. What becomes most important is to know
A) Whether you are sure you want to work in the radio industry
And
B) in what capacity within the industry you would like to work.
These seem like basic principles but a confident response to ...

Americans are slowly changing the way that they listen to music. Instead of listening to limited radio stations that are sometimes filled with commercials, people are now getting their music through satellite radio.
Sirius and XM are the top suppliers of satellite radio. To listen to this amazing, commercial free programming all listeners will need a satellite radio player. If you are interested in making the switch from traditional radio programming to satellite radio then you have four ...

Hobbies feature strongly in my personal portfolio for
enrichment, and I have several: writing, watercolour painting,
and an enduring passion for researching the period of transition
from silent to talking pictures.
Currently I am combining all three in an endeavor to produce a
manuscript for an illustrated book notionally entitled The
Hollywood Revolution: 1927/29.
(Quirky, yes, I know).
To test the water I created a 30 minute radio drama on the
topic, which has been accepted by a major ...

Despite the communications power of the Internet, nothing beats
good old human interaction when it comes to learning a new
skill.
You can always read a book, listen to a tape, or watch a video
to learn how to do something, but, in the end, learning from a
live teacher who can answer your questions on the spot works
best.
Until recently, the Internet resembled a large "book" of
electronic text and pictures where any extended "human"
interactivity could only take place offline by tele- ...

I had never given the matter much thought in the past but after
an experience I enjoyed lately, I am now rather of the opinion
that you can.
It happened this way'
Coinciding with the launch of my latest book 'Your Retirement
Masterplan' (How To Books ISBN 1857039874) I participated in
eleven 10/15 minute live interviews on local radio over a period
of just five days.
These promotional interviews were arranged by my publisher's
media consultancy and I didn't require to visit a single studio

Recently, I was asked to write a radio program for a non- profit
organization. I had worked in broadcast journalism for many
years before I switched to online communications and really
enjoyed getting back to my radio roots.
But something interesting happened as I was writing the script.
Over and over again, I noticed just how much radio writing and
effective web content have in common:
=>Both depend on high impact, attention-getting statements:

By Quentin Brown (c) October, 2004
Internet radio is just broadcast quality content being streamed
over the internet. That is it, nothing more.
There are 2 variations, and both are considered internet radio.
One version is live content being streamed in real time based on
a time schedule, but in reality that is not really necessary or
cost effective for that matter. What I believe to be the next
wave of useful marketing tactics using audio on the web, is
building a niche internet radio station ...

Marketing on the Internet is not really a choice anymore, but
has almost become a necessity in today's marketplace. No company
can afford to ignore the fact that online marketing is now a
multi-billion-dollar business. Those businesses without an
online presence are missing out on a goldmine of potential
customers.
Like anything, there are exceptions to the rule and marketing
on the Internet may not suit absolutely every business. However,
claiming to be the exception is often a disguise for ...

So what is this DAB radio? We have been hearing about DAB radios
