Screen Slidin’ You’ve heard of Death by PowerPoint well how about Breathing Life into Sales by PowerPoint? Working your marketing magic using grand images, poetic text and even featuring your ole mug along with an embedded video and you might just have the presentation you need to sell you and your services for the rest of the year. And the best thing is, whatever you produce, your clients and your prospects can view your Travelogue on their preferred screen. PowerPoint to Slide Show & Video If you didn’t know you do now… after you’ve created your PowerPoint you can, within PowerPoint itself create a slide show and or a video that can be exported. Simply click on the top left arrow to return to the main menu and select Export, Create a Video then select your preference as to where you intend your PowerPoint to be viewed such as Portable Devices, and follow the clicks. Slide Share Knovio You can upload your PowerPoint to SlideShare and put your presentation in from of 60 Million visitors to SlideShare each month. This is where I post copies of my digital magazines. The basic account is free. I like this program as it allows you to upload your PowerPoint and then add in a video using your webcam as you advise your audience about those glorious images showing on screen. This program is also free. Empressr BrainShark Here you can post and also create your slide presentation using all the tools of Empressr – great for those who do not have a current version of PowerPoint. A free program with many tools and analytics – not such a large audience or user base as SlideShare but worth exploring. One more program which operates very similarly to Slide Share. Look for other, more local outlets where you can upload your slide show and pitch it. It’s always a long shot when you pitch worldwide, so local may be better. 
