DAZZLING DECKS �creating slideshare presentations that wow!

barry feldman & simon kemp

#1 MAKE IT CHUNKY �

“ – Doug Kessler, Velocity Partners

The best SlideShare presentations were created for SlideShare. SlideShare is not

where shitty presentations go to die. !It’s a powerful, linear, visual storytelling medium in itself. Write stories in short

chunks that make people keep clicking.

#2 TALK IN PICTURES�

“– Ana Hoffman, Traffic Generation Cafe

Speak in images, not in words. Master teaching your audience in a few slides

what others would teach in a blog post, and you’ll own SlideShare.

#3 USE HEADLINES�

“– Michael Brenner, B2B Marketing Insider

The way to produce a hit on SlideShare is through a great headline. Make it !useful or provocative or mysterious.

#4 NOVEL CONTENT�

“ – Eugene Cheng, SlideComet

To be competitive and fresh, authors have to endeavour to come up with more novel

content expressed in a more engaging way.

#5 KEEP IT SIMPLE �

“– Tomas Bay, Slides that Rock

Create great designs and keep it simple. A 120 slide deck !on simplicity is not simple.

#6 DRIVE SHARING �

“ – Simon Kemp, We Are Social

Make your deck downloadable to ensure that sharing continues beyond SlideShare. Encourage other people to

embed your presentation too.

#7 HARNESS THE 3PS �

“– Verónica Jarski, MarketingProfs

Convey a sense of passion, playfulness and purpose. We !

like to combine all three.
