If you have a great idea or just want to share you latest thoughts, or disseminate your plans for world domination to your minions everywhere, presentation sharing is a great web 2.0 tool. It is easier then ever to do, and has become a familiar tool for many social network advocates.
1. Where to Post
To get started sharing your presentations, you need to upload them to a file share service. These are almost always free and every megalomaniac needs a lackey to do the hard work for free! There are tons of them out there, but two shine as the easiest and most interchangeable services. Both allow you to easily post your presentations instantly to multiple social networking sites, as well as create URL and embedding options. Allowing your minions to have instant access to your latest evil genius, they can even print their own color copies if they like. Check out Slide Shareand Google Presentations.
2.When to Post
When to share your presentation to get the most views is a simple marketing trick, and key to your plans to rule the world. Know your audience, and know the general rules of online consumer behavior. Most people check out their social networks and conduct their exploratory internet surfing during two key times in the day, first thing in the morning and late a night. Post your presentations during these times to take advantage of most recent posting placements on most sites. Evil geniuses prefer late night, lackey minions are often morning surfers.
To get the most views, post your presentations early in the morning or late at night.
3. What to Post
Remember that every presentation you post, has the potential of being shared an unlimited number of times, by people who you send it to people, people who stumble across it, and people who receive it as a forward. Put your best foot forward. Make sure anything you share meets the standards you are setting for your image and reputation. Setting yourself up to rule the world is hard work and image is the most important factor in becoming The Brain instead of remaining a Pinky.
Only post things you are comfortable with people being able to link back to you. In the internet age you cannot rely on anything that is posted staying within the discreet audience you select.
4. Who to Tell
You are ready to share your presentation. Now, you have to select how to do that. There are three main ways to publicly share your presentation. You can post it on a social networking site, you can create a URL using a service like slideshare and distribute the URL. And, you can embed your presentation into emails or other online blogs, websites or posts. Of course you could also use a town crier, or stick fliers under windshield wipers, or deliver your message baked inside of cakes, but this is so much easier and more effective.
