Content Strategy: How to Optimize on SlideShare

As with every medium, you must first attempt to understand SlideShare in oredre to start applying your content monetization strategies. Here is how to make an optimal presentation on the medium to garner most results.

Keep it Short: The average number of slides per presentation on SlideShare is 19, 33% of the content includes only 10 slides while 45% has 10 to 20 slides. But increasing the number of slides will only give you heavier content which is never a good content strategy.

Make it Visual: SlideShare presentations contain 19 pictures on an average. A picture is worth a thousand words, so go ahead and put your visual content to make your point in the presentation. Images, graphics, charts and graphs also solve the purpose of making the content interesting and visually appealing.

Make your Point: Do not make the slides very wordy, make a point curtly yet courteously and do not share more than 24 words per slide for optimum results.
