21 Pointers to Sharpen Your Website



Are you using one of the world’s most prominent content marketing services?

 

I’d only been a casual observer in the past. While researching this or that, I’d stumble across a link and find myself at SlideShare.net. And I’d often find what I was looking for—and then some.
But I always thought sitting through presentations, especially PowerPoint slideshows, was a serious drag. Making them has never been my thing either. In fact, I avoided it.
Nonetheless, because my not-so-healthy diet calls for approximately 12 hours of online time a day, I became well aware of SlideShare. I made myself a promise to take a useful work of mine, something highly educational (and therefore a good fit for the site), revise it and SlideShare it.
There you go: when a website becomes a VERB, you know something important’s going on there.
I have a handful of assets there now. Amongst them is the presentation I’ve embedded here, “21 Pointers to Sharpen Your Website.” The brochure version is also on SlideShare (and available here on my site), but the slide show has seen far more exposure.
Interested in making your site more powerful? Go ahead and watch this presentation.
Interested in sharing it? As the name implies, SlideShare is awesome for sharing. You can even snag code there and embed the media on your pages, just like YouTube.
