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.

What Are Database Applications?In Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Database applications are used to search, sort, calculate, report and share information. Databases can also contain code to perform mathematical and statistical calculations on the data to support queries submitted by users. Database applications provide security by restricting access to data based upon user names and passwords. Most database applications are customized with a database programming language to automate specific types of work.
Accounting Applications
An accounting system is a custom database application used to manage financial data. Custom forms are used to record assets, liabilities, inventory and the transactions between customers and suppliers. The income statements, balance sheets, purchase orders and invoices generated are custom reports based upon information that is entered into the database. Accounting applications can run on a single computer suitable for a small business or in a networked shared environment to accommodate the needs of multiple departments and locations in larger organizations. 'Microsoft Money,' 'Quicken,' 'QuickBooks' and 'Peachtree' are accounting systems built upon database applications.
CRM Applications
A customer relationship management system (CRM) is another example of a database application that has been customized to manage the marketing, sales, and support relationships between a business and it's customers. The ultimate goal is to maximize sales, minimize costs and foster strategic customer relationships. Simple contact management programs such as 'ACT,' or the task manager in Microsoft's 'Outlook' can be customized to suit the needs of individuals and small businesses. 'SAP,' 'Salesforce.com,' and Oracle's 'Siebel' are robust CRM database applications suitable for larger enterprises.
Web Applications
Many contemporary web sites are built using several database applications simultaneously as core components. Most retail store Web sites including 'Bestbuy.com,' and 'Amazon.com' use database systems to store, update and present data about products for sale. These Web sites also combine an accounting database system to record sales transactions and a CRM database application to incorporate feedback and drive a positive customer experience. The popular Web-based 'Facebook' application is essentially a database built upon the 'MySQL' database system and is an indication of the increasing usage of database applications as foundations for Web-based applications.
