Just got my first email!
I was checking my email this afternoon and I see this email coming from my website. My first ever email and it was from my blog. This person asked "Can you enhance you blog pages?" They gave me some links to look into that will allow me to convert my text into speech.
A little story to this....
Just yesterday, I decided to invest some time into learning ALL the functions of WordPress, because, as you know that is what we used to create our posts with.
I came across a site that helps explain a little in more detail about the functions of WordPress. There were other things I tinkered around with on my site as I was learning but one thing that I never thought of was a "Contact Page." I went ahead and created a basic one.
Fast forward to today, like literally a half an hour ago, I received that email.
I actually have some hope now that the time I devoted to learning a new task is paying off and that the more I dedicate my time to learning new skills in the internet world the better I will get. And most importantly, ways to HELP my readers in many facets.
My First question- How can this person been reading my posts for four months when I haven't even been with WA that long, only since August of this year. Maybe that's an email template made for her by someone else and she just copies and pastes.
My Second question- Does this seem legit? I mean with all the scams and such. I am by no means a wizard at this, but I intend to learn as much as I can. (Just knowing what I need to learn in the first place). I tend to be a little overly cautious on things like this.
My Third question- has this ever happened to you, and if so, do you have a way to convert text to speech for your readers?
What would you suggest?
Here's exactly what the email was....
Hi!
I've been a reader of your blog for around 4 months and I would like first of all to say that I really enjoy it.
I've got recently some problems with my eyes which affects my reading ability.
Thereby I have a favor to ask. Is it possible for you to add an audio podcast version of your articles?
It would be very useful for people like me and others who like to listen to your content.
I've researched on that a bit and I found few free services that can help to do that.
Here are the websites that I found that can add podcast to your site for free, maybe there are more but I found these two.
