Hello!
My name is Tom Wickstead and thank you so much for taking this course. I really think it will add value and enable you to create an Alexa Flash Briefing in no time!
Lets go through some of the background about Amazon Alexa, why everyone should have an Amazon Alexa Flash Briefing. Example of my flash briefing and different idea's for your flash briefing.
Amazon Alexa is the next big thing. I believe every business should have an Alexa Flash Briefing. Voice is the purest form of communication and the business that is closest to the consumer ultimately wins.
What is a Flash Briefing6:34
In this lecture we will cover:
What is a flash briefing?
Idea's for your flash briefing
The two types of flash briefings you can create
Why having your voice or someone elses voice adds more value than having Alexa read out text
Recording your Alexa Flash Briefing10:21
In this lecture we will use a free open source software program called Audacity to create our flash briefing using our voice or someone elses.
Check out the resources section of this lecture for links to Audacity and some tutorials which may also help.
Adding your Alexa Flash Briefing to a hosting site11:46
In this lecture we will cover uploading your mp3 file to a hosting platform so Amazon can take your RSS feed.
Super simple and really easy using Libsyn. I think this is one of the better ways to go about it because you can batch record and then upload when you want them to go live for users.

In this lecture we will cover signing up for a Amazon Developer Account, uploading your skill to Amazon Developer Account and submitting your skill for certification.
I'll guide you through the whole process.

In this lecture I will take you through uploading your skill on the Amazon Developer Account (New Console). I did this video as Amazon will be rolling out the new design of the new console in the coming months.
Pretty much the same process with the old console of Amazon Developer Account
Using Storyline to add an Alexa Flash Briefing Skill4:20
In this lecture i will take you through using Storyline to upload a flash briefing. Completely optional but I thought it might add value.
