Well you have to own your own music or get friends to give you music, you can’t just start streaming other people’s music. So do you have a good music source? Or do you have the money to pay the broadcasting fees for whatever music you want to play?

Generally though I would say it’s getting harder to make money with internet radio because there’s so much available for free. But if you provided a great product to a niche market, you could definitely make money.

Some strategies include a subscription fee to access a higher quality or ad-free stream. If you included a forum around the radio website you could build a community and have a button for donations if anyone wanted to give some.
