Broadcasting on the Internet for Free, Part III

You understand what BlogTalkRadio can do for you. You've registered and decided how to run your show. Now it's time to schedule your show.

After you've logged in, click the My BlogTalkRadio link.

Click Add/Edit an Episode.

Enter all the displayed information. You must enter most of the fields, including the tags or keywords. Those words help people find your show. For instance, if you wrote a book about the history of the Seminole tribe during the Great Depression, could should use the keywords to help people find your show (Seminole history, Great Depression, Florida history, etc.).

If you want to play an audio clip at the start of your program, upload a file using the Startup Audio field. And if you're featuring someone's book, enter the Amazon identification number, which displays their book on your page. The rest of the fields are relatively self-explanatory.

Note: You cannot schedule more than one show in a day.

When you're done, click Submit.
