How Does Internet Radio Make Money



Costs Associated with Online Radio Stations

While there are options available that allow an individual to create and maintain simple and free Internet radio stations there are still costs associated with maintaining and running a station, no matter how large or small.

Equipment, Internet access, hosting fees and potential royalty payments to record labels (stations playing any copyrighted music must pay royalties) can turn even a free online station into a monthly expense for the owner, so it is in her best interest to find sources of income to help pay the bills.

Ad-Based Internet Radio

Internet radio stations can sell airtime to advertisers and play their ads during programming. For novice and smaller operations, web-based ads may work better. Programs such as Google AdSense allow anyone with a website to sign up for free and place Google-programmed ads on their station's websites.

Donations

Many stations solicit donations from loyal listeners to help pay the bills. Companies such as PayPal allow users to set up a free account and add a 'PayPal donation' button to their website.

Listeners can then donate a set amount or the amount of their choice or sign up to donate automatically on a monthly basis, giving listeners the ability to support radio programming they enjoy.

Payola Practices

Payola—when a band or record label pays a radio station or DJ to play its music—is illegal, as it has been dating back to the 1950s, when such scandals rocked the commercial-radio business. But it is technically legal for a band or record label to pay a station to play a song as long as the station announces that arrangement on air before playing the song, notes that the song does not constitute regular airplay, and states that the song is sponsored airtime.

Some consider this practice, even with full disclosure, to be unethical, so a station owner should decide where she stands on this issue.

How to Use a P.O. Box With Google Adsense



1. Login to your Google Adsense account and go to the 'My Account' tab. Click 'edit' under the 'Payee Information' section. Enter the P.O. Box information into the appropriate parts of the form and click 'Save Changes.' Google's system will likely accept the new changes. Changes are applied immediately, changing the mailing address to the the P.O. Box.

2. Open a Google Adsense account using a valid business or home address. Once the account is approved by Google, login to the account and change the address to a P.O. Box.

3. Contact Google and make them aware of your mailing address before applying for a Google Adsense Account. Exceptions are made for legitimate businesses since mail is often received at P.O. Boxes. Provide company information to verify your request.

4. Use the entire address of the United States Postal Service where the P.O. Box is located as the first address. Insert your P.O. Box number as the second address with just a number, i.e. 111 Main Street (the actual street address of the United States Post Office where you have a P.O. Box.), #99, Small Town, State, Zip Code.

5. Experiment with entering the entire address of your home or business as the first mailing addresses. Insert the P.O. Box as the second mailing address so the address would look like this: 222 Main Street, P.O. Box #99, Small Town, State, Zip Code.

6. Employ a legitimate home or business address to sign up for a Google Adsense account. Receive the pin number that's required to confirm the mailing address from Google. Enter the required Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) into your Google Adsense as required to confirm the mailing address. Change the mailing address in your Google Adsense account to a P.O. Box and sign up to get payments with Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or Western Union.

7. Join a P.O. Box mailing center like The UPS Store or Postal Annex. Mailing centers offer real street addresses at legitimate businesses.

How to Make Money With Incentive Freebie Websites



1. Choose a catchy domain name and hire a reputable hosting company. Your domain name must be something easy to remember. The best freebie incentive domain names also center around a theme, such as CashDuck or GangsterGreed. The theme will lend itself to a cool logo that members are sure to remember.

2. Hire an individual or a company to create a custom script for you that goes along with your site's theme. The script must be able to allow you to input and manage all offers, manage your members, keep track of completed offers, send payments and send out emails to the members. You can find a freelance script writer from eLance, Odesk or FSRevolution.

3. Retain an affiliate manager. Affiliate managers keep track of companies that are willing to pay for completed offers or gathered personal information. For example, Company X may be willing to pay $1.00 for every name and email address collected when someone signs up with its website. You may offer your members $.50 for completing this task so that you can pocket the other $.50. It isn't profitable to take the time to search out hundreds of these companies yourself when an affiliate manager can do it for you in a matter of minutes. PointClickTrack and Adscend Media both offer this type of service.

4. Place Google Adsense ads on your website before you make it live. Once your freebie incentive website gains recognition, you will be able to get paid advertisements on your site for additional income. This is above the income you will be receiving from the completed incentives. A Google Adsense account is free.

5. Advertise your freebie incentive websites through Google Adwords, article marketing and by placing a link in your signature on like-minded forums. The key is to get your site noticed. Holding a referral contest is also an effective way to increase your beginning membership. Offer a gift card to the member with the highest number of referrals.
