I have been using a hack I discovered a few months ago by another affiliate and while some of the more experienced folks here at WA may be aware of it, maybe it will be useful for some of the newbies

In Oct of last year I was diagnosed with a form of Parkinson's Disease, so I have quite a few days that I tremble so badly that I can not type at all. Deciding to start an online business that requires me to come up with content and type it all out on my site was really becoming a difficult task

Then in Jan of this year I was talking with a friend of mine who told me of a little trick he uses on his 30 something blogs and sites when creating content. I just couldn't believe that I hadn't thought of it myself

If you have a Google account then you can access and use Google Docs. In settings on Docs you can activate the microphone and use speech to text. Not only have I found this so easy to do it is much faster for me as well. Nope, I'm not the fastest typer by a loooooong shot

I often find myself struggling to get what is in my head typed out anyway, but actually speaking it out loud made it easier to get my words down on paper. Well, you know what I mean. Then all I have to do is a bit of editing (including spelling/grammar check), add any links I need, copy and paste into my site editor, hit publish and it's done in half the time it to take me to create and type

Just thought I would share that with anyone who might find it useful, now I'm going back to creating my content :)

Hope you all have an amazing day!
