Platforms make it easier to manage your media & for others to embed & share it too

Page 10: Five Slideshare Truths: Part I (Lessons from Authoring 50 Decks & Earning 200k Views

key Metric: time to Author

When thinking about building a BODY OF WORK consider TIME TO AUTHOR by MEDIA & learn how to DESIGN FOR REUSE

Page 11: Five Slideshare Truths: Part I (Lessons from Authoring 50 Decks & Earning 200k Views

2 Experiment to Test

Nobody can predict content success

Create straw-man

theories/models, then break, rebuild & repeat

3 Embrace SELF-SERVICE

Content must be FOUND

to solve problems

People seek your

content when they

feel PAIN

Publishing lets people find your content on

their timeline

4 Trash brand rulesGive each piece of content

visual identity to be:

1. Memorable

2. Share worthy

Work on Title/Theme/Look

Use unique fonts, colours, themes & images (purchase / credit as needed)

Page 14: Five Slideshare Truths: Part I (Lessons from Authoring 50 Decks & Earning 200k Views

5 BREVITY WINSLess Content = More Impact

= less to SKIM

= More memorable

Don’t be afraid to revisit/rework old ideas (or come back with 5 more points)

Don’t bury ideas on slide 27

Don’t make readers think!
