   When presenting, you should speak in a conversational style, like a person talking to a friend. Addressing your audience as ‘you’ instead of ‘listeners’ is the way to go, as this gives each of your listeners a connection with you.

   on and polished especially if it’s something that doesn’t come to you naturally. No one wants to hang around a boring person, and listeners will be quick to tune out of your station should they find you boring.

5. Be confident.
   Listeners want to hear a presenter who is confident and knows what he or she is doing. When you’re unsure of yourself, or overly nervous, it sends a message to your listeners that you aren’t worth their time. Be confident, be bold, and be prepared.

   You don’t need to memorize everything you plan to say. You should generate ideas for new on-air material from time to time. It isn’t fun to sound too scripted in every presentation. Let your creative juices flow and add some spice to your online radio station.

    When you make a mistake, don’t beat yourself up for it. Forgive yourself quickly and move on. Don’t let it affect the rest of your show or kill your vibe.
    Learn from your mistakes and practice kindness to yourself.
