Are you looking for new ways to deliver content to prospects and customers? The voice-activated devices made by Amazon, the Echo, and Echo Dot, can be helpful in this regard. More than 50 million Echo devices have been sold so far by Amazon, which shows that there is an increasing demand for these smart speakers that can perform a wide array of tasks through simple voice commands. They present an opportunity to create content for them to reach those who use them. Nowadays, you can find more than 525,000 active podcasts worldwide and Alexa briefings are just 5,000 in number.

Considering the number of potential listeners, this seems like a good content frontier. Plus, podcasters are able to build valuable relationships because they can reach people in homes through their voices on a regular basis. But, what exactly is a flash briefing?

The purpose is to come up with a micro piece of content that could compel people to subscribe to it thereby allowing you to become a part of their daily routine.

 

What is a Podcast?
