Over the last several years, Voice-First devices have taken our society by storm. Companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon have been developing Voice-First devices for many years. With each passing year, more and more people are enjoying the benefits these devices offer. Voice-First devices and other forms of audio content, such as podcasts, have become so popular that they are frequently discussed at many large conferences around the world.
I recently attended the VoiceCon conference, which was hosted by Vaynermedia and Gary Vaynerchuk. In this episode, I share my insights from attending VoiceCon as well as some tips and strategies I have learned since creating my own Alexa Briefing. I explain what Voice-First is and the potential it has for online business as well as for our society and how you can get started in the Voice-First movement.
