Eye-catching slides in a SlideShare presentation
Author & speaker, Mark Schaefer, received 7000 views for a blog post. He turned the blog post into a SlideShare presentation and received 110,000 views. There is lots of potential with SlideShare.
Those types of statistics can happen if you have an eye-catching presentation. Not only that, but people can link from your slides to your web pages.
This blog post assumes that you have made your Keynote slide show. I will show you how to make that into a PDF file. Then you will select portions of certain slides and make them link to the web page of your choice.
Create the PDF file
Open your Keynote slide show- Click File > Print
- Click the PDF button > Save as PDF > Save.
Create your hyperlink
(In my blog posts I often am trying to find lower-cost alternatives to a problem. I’ve searched and found only one reliable platform for creating hyperlinks from SlideShare posts. It’s an expensive program called Adobe Acrobat Pro.
If you find a cheaper alternative, leave it in the comments section.)
- Right-click on the name of your new PDF file in Finder. (It’s most likely in the Movies folder.)
- Click on Open with > Adobe Acrobat Pro
- Click on Edit > Edit Text & Images
Scroll down to the slide from which you wish to link. (Note that you can’t start linking until the fourth slide.)- In right-hand column, click on Add or Edit Link
- Draw invisible rectangle around text to be linked
- Click Next
- Paste URL into box
- Click OK
- Cmd S to save latest changes
