Special notes on “clickable links”
The HubSpot Blog website says that you will need Adobe Acrobat XI Pro to make a SlideShare slide hyperlink to a website. You can buy the program from BuyTechSolutions. It is expensive but really worth it.

Hyperlink-friendly environment
If you want your visitors to hyperlink lots, you have to have lots of visitors. Below are some tips for making great SlideShare presentations and getting more visitors.
Demand greater than supply
As of the date of this post, there are not nearly enough quality SlideShare posts. The demand is way bigger than the supply. So, if you want to start getting lots of visitors, SlideShare is where you should concentrate most efforts. I emphasize: You MUST have quality posts.
- Use Keyword Planner to make sure your message is something people want to hear.
- You must SEO your page.
- Use Keyword Planner keywords in your description and tags.
- Restrict title to 65 characters and description to 155.
- Useful information
- Evoke emotions where possible
- People often have trouble remembering more than 3 points. One thing to remember when making your bullet points.
- Encourage visitors to embed your presentation on their websites.
Each slide simple and free of clutter
- Say enough to get a powerful message. Then stop talking. Fewer than 25 words per slide. 3 or 4 words is often enough.
- Visitors must understand your slide within 3 seconds.
- A dozen or so slides is usually enough.
- Where possible, use graphics and pictures instead of words.
- After you have a blog post you are especially fond of, use the pages as templates for most of your future slides.
- Clickable links are not allowed in the first 3 slides. Starting in the fourth slide, have clickable links.
Interesting fonts and eye-catching pictures
- Remember about understanding the entire slide within 3 seconds. As long as the unusual font is quickly readable, use it. It makes your slide more interesting.
- MUST have great pictures to have lots of visitors.
- Search 8 different websites to find some amazing free stock photos
- Or some outstanding photos for $3 each from the Adobe Stock.
- Picture is often a metaphor for text on a slide.
- Should often fill ENTIRE slide with an image.
Color combinations that make people want to look
- Use a handful of the same colors throughout the presentation
- You can use GIMP color picker to choose colors from a logo or important picture. For instance, here the eyedropper was clicked on the water and the same color showed up in the foreground colors.
- One or 2 of the colors should be consistent throughout presentation.
Presentation software
Learn one presentation software and get very good at it. As time goes by, you’ll faster and faster at creating a presentation.
With Canva you can use their amazing software to design your own slides. You can upload your own pictures. Many of the pictures in their library are free. Others cost $1 each.
Personally, I have never used Canva. I use Keynote and GIMP.
