10. Tips on How
to Create a
Killer
SlideShare
Presentation
10

11. 1.) Decide on fonts and a color
scheme.
For fonts, choose two different ones to
use throughout your presentation -- one for your
headers and one for your body text. Your header
font should be bold and eye-catching, and your
body text font should be simple and easy to
read.
For your color scheme, pick a scheme
that will have enough contrast between colors to
make colors stand out.

13. 2.) Outline main takeaways and
crucial sub-bullets.
Creating an outline for your SlideShare's
narrative. I like to treat SlideShare outlines. Then,
you elaborate on those sections with a few
supporting points.
For each of those components (title, section
headers, and a few supporting points), create a
slide. Below is an example of what those slides
might look like:

14. TITLE

15. HEADERS

16. SUPPORTING
POINTS

17. 3.) Fill out the body of your
presentation.
Then, fill in the meat of the content
all the slides between the headers. Just
make sure you're not relying too much on
text. SlideShare is a primarily visual
platform people are used to breezing
through presentations.

20. 4.) Add introduction slides.
After you've created the
majority of your SlideShare
presentation, head back to the start.
Wonder why we didn't begin here? It'll
be much easier to tee up the bulk of
your content if you already know what
that content is about.

21. 5.) Wrap up the conclusion.
Then, head to the end of your
SlideShare and wrap it up in a slide or two.
There is nothing more jarring than going
from a body slide right to a CTA slide. You
only need a slide or two to conclude your
presentation, but it should naturally tee up
the CTA that you will have next.

22. 6.) Add a call-to-action slide.
At the very end of your SlideShare,
you want to keep your viewers engaged by
providing a call-to-action. The CTA could
be about downloading an ebook, attending
an event, or even just visiting your website.

24. 7.) Edit, edit, edit.
You're almost there! Next, you need
to go through and edit your copy and
design components.

25. 8.) Add "animated slides" and
clickable links.
As far as slide animation
goes, SlideShare does not support
PowerPoint animations. This means that all
of those smooth entrances you planned for
your text boxes and objects go out the
window once you upload your presentation
to SlideShare. But, it's easy to manually
introduce new elements on a series
of slides to make it seem like it's
"animated."

26. 9.) Upload your PDF to SlideShare
After you're finished with your
clickable links, your presentation will be in
a PDF format. At this point, you're ready for
the final step: uploading your PDF to
SlideShare. When you do this, you have the
option to add a description and tags, and
even schedule the SlideShare to go live at a
certain time. Once your SlideShare is live,
you should spend some time promoting it
on your blog and social media accounts,
and to your email lists.

28. Benefits of using SLIDESHARE
✖Using SlideShare
means you won’t
have to worry about
hosting content on
your own site since
you can just embed
content from
SlideShare. A far
more practical and
less time-consuming
process.
✖Using it means
you will be able to
tap into the large
number of
SlideShare visitors
and raise your own
profile.
✖It is low cost since
there is both a free
account option and
the option to go pro.

29. ◍It is easy to use since
most people are already
familiar with PowerPoint
and so are able to
generate content relatively
quickly.
Benefits of using SLIDESHARE
◍Using it will allow you to
grow your brand and is
perhaps the platform
which can best
accommodate more
detailed and in-depth
content – i.e., content that
may not be appropriate for
sharing on other social
channels.

30. Drawbacks of
Slideshare
o Options are limited using
free account .
o Does not support
presentations with audio
separately from the
presentation.
o Some of the feautures
require multiple steps,
such as Slidecast,
requires creating the
audio separately from
the presentation.

31. Drawbacks of SlideShare
• No built in way to track views.
• Must use the other programstocreate and editmaterial.
• Cannot have the trasistions commonly seen in other slideshow
programs.
