Host Your Own Show! Guess What? You Don’t Even Need a TV

With today’s online technology, you don’t need a television to produce a show. Many people have started their own talk shows, reality shows, sports shows, and even online radio programs, by using several free online resources. Five are listed here:

  • Youtube.com
  • Google Hangout
  • UStream
  • LiveStream
  • Spreecast

All of these platforms offer ways to broadcast your online show to millions around the world. They are open and online 24/7.

Why stop at a talk show? You can create your own commercials and sell advertising. All of these platforms allow you to share what you’ve produced on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and any other social media platform. If you provide great content, then people will share it for you.

Last December, I had the opportunity to appear as a guest on Audrey Wiggins’ “Make Something Happen TV.” The topic was, Do You Need to “Be More Visible? On the show, I commented on the importance of good public relations. I also shared personal reflections on my love of fitness and competitions. Take a look. Maybe it might inspire you to start your own show!

You Can Use YouTube to Communicate with Customers

YouTube is not just for videos anymore.

If you don’t have a business YouTube account, it may be a good idea to set one up. Using video, customers and potential customers have another way to see exactly who you are, what you do and how you can help them.
