Promote ANYTHING Online

On Day 11 of the I Am An Article series, we’ll discuss repurposing your article as a PowerPoint presentation.

Granted, you may have already considered doing this after reading IAAA # 8, Speaking Of Speaking which suggested using your article content as the basis for public speaking engagements. It would only make sense to reformat the material into a PowerPoint presentation for your audience.

Ahh, but that’s not the ONLY audience for that!

Allow me to introduce you to SlideShare.net.

SlideShare.net is one big deal. It’s got a mind-blowing Google page rank and a low, looow Alexa site ranking (which is a good thing because the lower the Alexa number, the higher the level of traffic among sites registered with Alexa). In other words, lots of people go there. Some of those people may well be looking for what you have to offer.

Want those people to check you out while checking out your content? Simply include your link at the beginning and end of your slideshow. More is overkill and a real turnoff.

If you’d really like to maximize your traffic from SlideShare and other directiories to boot, create an article in 2 or more parts. You post your first PowerPoint article and at the end, provide a link to Part 2.

The best part is if you’ve already created a PowerPoint presentation format for your article content for possible public speaking gigs, it’ll take just a little basic editing to post it on SlideShare.net. Even if you’re too shy right now for going the public speaking to real live people route, you can still make very good use of one…or several!!
