Write a Presentation that Speaks to Viewers

[gafimiv406]

There may be millions of visitors on SlideShare, but if your slides don’t resonate with any of those visitors, your efforts may be futile. In addition to keeping presentations short, interesting and informative, keep the following elements in mind:

Write in a conversational tone. Limit the text on a page to no more than two sentences and don’t be afraid to use ellipses (…) to keep the reader wondering what you’ll say next. Each slide should lead naturally into the next. Here is an example:
Use unique, high quality images to serve as your background, however, try to avoid patterned or busy images. You can purchase stock photos through sites like iStockPhoto and DepositPhotos for a few dollars each.
Use easily readable fonts. If you’d like something fun and unique, the Internet is full of free fonts you can download. Stay away from typical Calibri or Times New Roman for larger text. Instead, seek out a font that’ll stand out. However, avoid using “cutesy” fonts. The typeset should be professional, uncluttered, but set your slideshow apart from those using canned fonts that have been used a million times before. Remember that some font colors are also difficult to read, such as yellow, red or pastels.
Keep the file less than 100 MB – the limited size for SlideShare. If you use a lot of images or add sound files, the presentation could quickly exceed that size.
