STEP: 2
Choose a title slide
template that is a good
match for your eBook
theme.

4. The title slide is the most
important in your deck.

5. The title slide is the most
important in your deck.
It pulls the reader in &
shares the deck's value.

6. 70% of SlideShare traffic comes from organic search
It also puts your deck in
a position to be found.

7. Interweave keywords into your title to boost
your SlideShare's rank on search engines.
So....STEP 3:

8. Choose a
color palette
that informs
your design.
STEP 4:

9. It could inform the
entire presentation
...or just a part of it.
Like in this presentation we've
chosen yellow as an accent color.

10. STEP 5:
Develop a narrative
that tells your story
succinctly.

11. Short phrases communicate
your message faster.

12. STEP 6:
Edit your work.
Ideally, each page should be
kept to 25 words or fewer.

13. It takes too long, Business people are
busy people. If you make them read
an entire slide worth of copy, the
chances that you'll get them to read
the whole thing is slim to none. Only
the wordsmiths, the copy editors, or
people with a typography fetish will
stay engaged with a page like this. If
you do have a lot to say, consider
controlling the reader's pace with
color variations or separate slides.
We've been doing that a bunch in this
presentation. The folks a Velocity
Partners also have some good
examples.
Anyway, who
wants to read a
full page of text?

14. FINALLY!
STEP 7
Design the deck.

variety of
easy-to-use
