Who are you?
Hi, I’m Pam, the owner of Create My Voice. My husband, Chip, and I enjoy running Create My Voice so that bloggers can put their content on Alexa and have it read aloud. Our roles pretty much match our personalities. Chip, the detail oriented technologist, loves everything to do with computers and technology, while I enjoy interacting with people, researching, and marketing. Chip calls me the big picture person, thus my title is CBPO, Chief Big Picture Officer. He is the CVO, Chief Voice Officer. We tend to balance each other and together we make a pretty good team.
What is the mission of your company?
We really believe smart speakers are going to change how everyone interacts with content. A study done by NPR and Edison Research interviewed smart speaker owners and said 71% of them listen to more audio than they did before, 30% of them said they are replacing time spent with other electronic devices with their smart speakers, and 92% said that they listen along with others in their household. With Alexa already in homes, cars, hotel rooms, laptops, and phones, having content available on a smart speaker is becoming essential. Create My Voice creates personalized Alexa skills for bloggers so they can join the smart speaker community.
What makes your product or service unique?
Creating a way for bloggers to get onto the voice platform is a new idea. And far as we know, no one else is offering this. But the best part of our uniqueness is that Chip is constantly adding new voice capabilities and he is incredibly good at tailoring to your needs. Based on client feedback, he has added the ability to search through posts by date or subject, to automatically add a postscript to each post, or to provide a special message from the author (which can be updated at any time.) I will help you make sure your community knows about your Alexa skill and how to use it. (It’s easy, they just ask to
listen to your blog.)
Why do you love WordPress?
We ran a family journal website using WordPress a while back. I really appreciated its simplicity. It isn’t hard to learn or use, and there are all those amazing templates! I also liked that the updates didn’t blow up my site. It is a great platform. WordPress allows so many of us to share our ideas and content, with millions of Amazon Alexa listeners waiting to hear your WordPress content, let Create My Voice help you get it out there!
