There have been many talks about presentation tips, as to how it should be prepared, and how it should be delivered. But, today, we are going to discuss the seven presentation hacks, that are quite simple, but many of the successful presenters have been following them from the beginning of their career. So here is the list of seven best hacks, that will help you build an outstanding presentation:
1. Write before you design: The design has to be based on the content of the presentation, so you need to build the content first, and following that, start designing the presentation. Sometimes, creators just pick a design if it is beautiful or just for the sake of it and put the content over it, which sometimes do work for them. But the design of a presentation that complements its content puts an even more powerful impact on the audience. So, first, you need to prepare the content, which may include text, images, graphs, visuals, based on the well-researched information and data. And as soon the content is ready, chose a design for the presentation that goes completely with the content.
2. Get Personal with the Subject: There is always a technique for writing the content, and the basic one is not to copy it from anywhere. You must go through the topic in detail, extract the important information out of it, and only after gaining the required knowledge, write the content for the presentation. When you will create the content in your own words and with your own knowledge, you will be giving it your personal touch.
3. Create an Outline: Before moving ahead with the whole content, you need to create an outline for the presentation, such that the audience gets the idea of what the presentation held inside it and what message does it want to deliver. You should add a suitable title to the presentation, an index containing the points that the presentation will be discussing, and even a preface to it.
4. Ditch the Fancy Slides: To keep the audience engaged throughout the presentation, try to keep the slides simpler. Simpler slides are always good for everyone. There is a lesser possibility that anyone in the audience would not like a simple presentation, as there are always a lesser number of people who go for fancy designs. Also, fancy slides can overshadow the main context of the presentation and attract the attention of the audience for the wrong reasons, for the decoration and the other fancy things, rather than its original message.
5. Use Poll for Better User Engagement: Polls make the presentations interactive and help in capturing the live audience engagement. The polls are beneficial for the presentations shared online, where only the users that are following the presentation properly will go for the poll, and you will be easily able to track the user engagement it received.
6. Use Animations to Introduce Key Points: Animations can make things more interesting. And to create an engaging presentation, there can be nothing better than the animation. You do not have to just pick anything and put into the presentation, but use animation for introducing the key points of the presentation topic. It can enhance the appearance of the presentation, making the audience more interested.
7. Take the Help of Storytelling: Storytelling can never be boring. People fall for storytelling, and in presentations, too, storytelling helps to bind the audience until the end. It makes it easy for the audience to understand the context of the presentation and keep them interested throughout. Storytelling is indeed the most useful presentation hack, and every presenter must follow the same.
