adding more value to it.”
Visakan Veerasamy

presentations which forget to
ask for the next step. If you
want people to do something

READ ME
“It's the difference between
people reading and not
reading your deck. Make sure
it's readable at thumbnail size
and that your big idea is in a
big font that grabs the
reader's attention.”
Focus on the
Cover Design

17. “A lot of people think that they can hack their way
through the design process but the ability to make
a beautiful deck is one thing that often
differentiates the best content from the rest.”
Make it Beautiful
Ross Simmonds

18. “A lot of us fall into the trap of
thinking everything has to be
composed the same way. Same
font size, same colors, same
number of words per slide, that
sort of thing. That lulls people to
sleep. Change things up!”

SlideShare to the news. This
helps me to be relevant and to
be noticed by the SlideShare
editorial team, blogs, media
outlets, etc.”
NEWS
News Jack!

21. “SlideShare is a traffic driver to
other content on my own
website. To invite people to go
to my website I leave them
wanting more in the slide deck.”

Leave Them
Wanting More

22. “I contact presentation experts
to gather feedback on my
work. If they liked my work,
they were also pleased to
share it to their audience.”

from Experts
Emiland De

23. “Try to make the slide deck itself
shareable. On many slides, I invite
people to share the deck if
they liked it. A service like click-to-
tweet is handy to make custom
tweets to share separate slides.”
