How To Embed Presentations – On LinkedIn and Your Website

If you’re investing a lot of time and energy in your presentations, you need to know how to get the maximum return on your input of valuable resources. Learning how to embed your presentations on your website and on your LinkedIn profile will help you get the most out of your presentations. Embedding your presentations is easy, but most importantly it is an effective way to get your presentation in front of the world.

For example, if you designed a presentation for your sales team to use on their iPads when they are educating prospects over coffee or lunch, you should also use the sales deck to reach prospects you haven’t met yet by embedding the deck in a blog post about your products and services.

If you created a presentation for the promotion of your soon-to-be-published book, don’t reserve your promo deck exclusively for conferences or marketing events. Put your slides to good use by embedding it on blog posts that you publish on your LinkedIn profile. For example, consider writing a LinkedIn blog post about the process of writing your book, and embed your promotional presentation at the end of the post. Your LinkedIn network will love reading about the behind-the-scenes process of publishing a book, and as a result, readers will likely be inspired to flip through your slides. If, at the end of your promotional presentation, you include a call-to-action to buy your book, your sales will probably get a nice boost from the exposure your presentation receives on LinkedIn.

The possibilities are endless for how you can use embedded presentations to promote your projects. Get creative, have fun with it, but whatever you do – don’t let your presentations go to waste. Embed everywhere you can, and watch the number of views on your presentation grow exponentially.
