Have a strong descriptive cover
slide and title that tells readers
what your content is about, and
makes them want to click to
read more.
Make sure your content
is understood without a
live presentation: Add any
additional context so that your
content can be understood by
an online audience.
Visual is viral: Visual content
is processed in the brain
60,000 times faster than text.
Have a strong visual story that
supplements your written one.
Share. And then share again:
The more you share, the more
likely your SlideShare will turn
up in search results and get
more views.
