Here are some of the things YOU would need to have available
- A Fast Computer with plenty of Ram and Disk space available to do the recordings
- A Good Quality Sound Card
- A Good quality Microphone (these are only about $35.00 online most anywhere)
- A Good Quality Recording Software program (I use Gold Wave and it is inexpensive to purchase)
- A Good Quality Corded Phone with Speaker Phone (good quality) for doing Remote Special Guests spots
Since these recordings are pretty much done by basically Reading into the microhpone what you have to say, they can be Paused and started back up where you left off for almost the entire show if you need a break. NOT HARD...
You will need to learn how to add some Music intros and exit points, how to Clip sections OUT of the show before final production, and more.
Now GETTING SPONSORS on board is YOUR JOB 100%. Sponsors are basically someone (a business normally) Willing to PAY YOU to either do their Ad Spot for them, or send it to you as an audio file and then you fit it into the show. This amount you charge them is 100% UP TO YOU and 100% YOURS to KEEP. Such sponsors would in fact PAY YOU direct.
Doing a Show may take some 1/2 of a day to set it all up, and do the show and the potential to make a couple of hundred bucks (or much more) is more than there with only a single High profile Sponsor. Such Sponsored Spots are to run 30 seconds ONLY!
I do Radio Spots in St Augustine evey year to help American Millitary men and women and I get a good price for a 30 second spot as it is for Charity (still cost me $100.00)..
Now, there WILL be a lot of FREE spots in the show such as Area News of importance (special upcoming events, city notices, etc).. All such things are FREEBIES for those who participate to have them added to the show.
It will be up to YOU basically to get such information either in an email you can read off into the microphone, or have them do a regular Guest spot and record it.
The show WILL also feature Items for Sale members of the site have posted in the Classifieds, AND upcoming Garage/yard sales sections for the show. The Garage Sales and Items for sale MUST exist at OUR SITE, Done in the proper format as we indicate in those sections.
Although the General Classifieds are FREE for members to post within, PUTTING their ads on the Radio Show will cost the ad placer $10.00 per ad they wish to have placed on the Show. This money would go direct to US (The site owner) and we would collate such ads before the show and send it to you via Email (you then just read it off into a Microphone very simple)...
We will limit the number of such ads to maybe something like the First 10-25 ONLY so that the whole show isn't just about Classifieds as that is not the intention of the service by any means.
MOST News Papers charge an ad placer starting around $35.00 on up to well over a $100.00 for 3 meager lines of text, for 3-5 days of display time. Our classifieds are FREE, run for 28 days, can include many lines of text, Photos, Maps to your location, and Video if you have one! I Think that charging the ad placer a mere $10.00 to also have their ad listed for 4 weeks time in and ON Demand Radio Show is something that most can afford for the service.
If YOU or someone you know Needs to make some nice extra $$$, can talk to ANYONE, has the Radio Voice we need, and has the above requirements, certainly have them CALL ME (sorry it HAS to be a phone call as emails in this regard do nothing for us)...
Now, we WILL do an audio test for the potential candidates by having them read into the mic a script we will have created for the test. We will have them do a simple Fade in of some music which will play for 5 seconds, fade out into the dialog, and close with the same music at the end fading In slightly and then out to close the show.
ALL shows are done in MP3 Audio format in Stero at 3200 sampling rates (FM Radio Quality) settings. This means that whatever program you use to do the recordings MUST be able to allow you to set it up to record at these settings (the Gold Wave program does).
Phone, Email, and online Video Conferencing type support FOR our Radio show hosts is offered.
This offer can be Good for you, great for YOUR community at the same time. It is also of course very limited as we are looking for a Single Show Host at this time and when the selection is made, this offer no longer stands! Further SHow Hosts CAN be offered by the Main Show Host as they deem appropriate just like Russ Limbaugh has alternate hosts on his show from time to time.
The SELLING POINTS to make for Radio On Demand programming are such as:
- Modern way people like to connect today for keeping up to date with news and information relevant to them
- People on the GO can download the Pods automatically to their iphone/ipod/ mobile device and Listen to them while driving to work, going out shopping, or even at the beach ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, at their leisure.
- Pod Casts are Syndicated and can be subscribed to from Anywhere by Anyone
- Regular AM or FM radio and even the local news papers ONLY have about a 25-50 mile circulation area or listening area. Although this is a fair distance for a local market, what about Tourists or Visitors in Orlando, or other areas? They may be planning a stop over in this area but just don't know where to go for things to do or events of interest in the area news. These Pod Casts can get em here!
- Unlike regular Radio and such our Podcasts are available for 4 weeks. That means someone who may have missed Last Weeks Pod Cast which may have contained something very important for the listener CAN STILL GET IT 3 weeks later!
If you wait till later on, it may be too late so consider it TODAY and get started.
