Listeners, Conversion Rates, and $$$

[GKIye]

By reading Your current explanation it creates to Me more and more the idea that You are in need for an on demand project.

On demand can means 2 things ...

The making of song requests by a listener who can be managed in real time

Or understood as requesting content by content / product in real time.

 

The setup of the second option don't requires a streaming "radio" project.

It can be made at a website where visitors can see and / or hear info about what they are looking for.

This can be done by developing a platform at Your website.

However at that moment You get near to a podcast.

Its my point of view after following and reading all of Your descriptions that podcast can offer You a solution.

 

Yep, way different to radio, but by using a podcast You can reach a target audience.

However there are tons of podcasts, both as audio and as video.

Positive is that some type of podcasts have their platforms were they are presented to a public.

In fact YouTube is about the largest platform for what could be seen as video podcasts ... but at YouTube they call them tutorials.

Making a search for a specific subject / topic with the main goal to find the "right" tutorials is sometimes an incredible journey to succeed to find content who is close enough to what people are searching for.

 

We all have the experiences that by watching or listening to a tutorials / podcasts is mostly "themself" talking to a microphone with mostly the result that at the end the viewer / listener has learned ... nothing.

 

A USA contact of Me that I ever first met early 2000 has made a living of it.

He has his own website, his professional Facebook profile and his YouTube channel.

Check out his channel and see if that is what You are looking for ... https://www.youtube.com/user/rokkproductions/videos

Important is that since day 1 he is managing everything by his own ... The making of the content untill the production of each video.

 

Basically he is an artist, made songs etc ... and started at a moment in time real heavy labor at an offshore compagny.

The money that he urned has been invested in what he is doing right now.

He started the heavy labor after his house was burned down during a fire into his neighbourhood.

So he started all over again from scratch and he succeeded so far in what he is doing.

 

I can be wrong, but I get the feeling that my current info offers You some details for what You are looking for.

Because I am a company of one, I would need to start off with an automated radio station. However, I want to run MY ads and also intertwine MY content. But everything would need to be automated, unless I was making so much $$$ that I could quit my day job and be a DJ all day.

Well, my website WILL have podcasts on it. So that is already something in the works.

 

The Internet radio station is something on the side, and my hope was just another means to indirectly draw people to my primary business - while having fun along the way.

I agree a podcast could be effective on its own.

Well, I am building a "brand" and so people will find me from my website, and not YouTube. (Although maybe I will use YouTube to host my podcasts and videos.)

Podcasts are already in my plans.

 

However I would still love to have a *successful* Internet radio station as well.

The station I am at have an average listeners of about 300-400. Our pricing is done on patreon but is quite cheap. However we do have a lot of ads but we don't really calculate it that much yet as we are quite small.
