An easy way to share your presentations

Slideshare.net is a great way to take your presentation viral – and share it with everyone from partners to prospects; colleagues to customers. The free hosting platform allows you to upload a presentation and embed it on your website, blog, or social network profile. Definitely worth checking out – it’s simple and makes a lot of sense with social communities such as LinkedIn and Facebook commanding our attention on the Web.

It’s always better to deliver your message through the voice of the customer. Getting them to put it the right way is always a balance.

Bringing home the bacon – through blogging

Once considered a hobby for opinionated political junkies and techies, blogging is fast becoming one of America’s newest and most influential professions, the Wall Street Journal reports today (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124026415808636575.html).

With newspapers desperately trying to redefine themselves, almost half a million Americans now call blogging their primary source of income. But in a nation with more than 20 million bloggers, the science of how some blogs break through the wall of noise to win an audience is still uncertain for writers eager to turn a profit. Over time, I think we will see that the bloggers who stay gainfully employed are those who master the art of digital storytelling, making their posts compelling, relevant and brief.
