Why create audio stories?
Accessibility
Your stories are now accessible to people with reading disablities such as blindess or dylexia. They are also accessible to people with "situational disabilities" such as in bright sunlight, commuting, exercising, etc. when reading is impossible. With audio people can simply listen to your content.
Dwell time for SEO
Our data shows that people who listen to articles spend on average 5x more time on the website. This increases the dwell time for your website which in turn improves your SEO ranking.
Repurpose
Converting your existing stories to audio is a great way to revive and repurpose your content. It gives you an opportunity to re-share, re-distribute and re-publish your articles again with your audience but this time with audio.
