Cold email to bloggers
I am working on the Youtube of audio and would LOVE to have you onboard.
It is no doubt that audio is one of the fastest growing media for information sharing, but there exists only two major platforms: podcasts and audiobooks.
I am working on the third platform that falls in between both of these, this is article narration.
Wouldn't you like to reach the same the millions of people who, similarly to the book industry, would love to consume your blog in audio format?
Wouldn't you like to turn those listeners into paying subscribers to your content?
Wouldn't you like to do this with little to no time on your part?
I am proposing that you become a part of a few hand-picked bloggers we are choosing to launch this product.
I am not a big Silicon Valley startup, I am just a solo founder with a unique vision, scratching my own itch of getting access to the world's best blog content via audio that is not robotic text-to-speech.
I am working on a product that will have your blog posts narrated by top-rated voice professionals and presented to an audience for their listening pleasure. Your audience will be able to subscribe to your specific content for a minimal monthly fee that will go back to funding your efforts at creating amazing content.
The product is in active development and we are hoping that you will agree to be a part of the launch. Feel free to shoot me any questions you may have, take your time to think about it, you can respond at your earliest convenience. I will follow up in about a week just in case now is a bad time. Thanks for your time.
Regards,

Use positive voice for the other "wouldn't" phrases.

I am inviting you to join a select group of bloggers who would be the first to preview this product at launch.

Thanks, @allenp, the fact that I posted it here means I was looking for unsolicited feedback :-D
