I’m facing a bit of a problem regarding my presentation…
It’s not the problem most people worry about – How can i use up all the time?, what direction will i look when i’m talking?, will i add in a joke or keep it all business like?
The problem i have is fitting all of my slides into my alloted time of 20/30 minutes. I’ve done a little test presentation in my head and it ran for about 45 minutes, and i thought i was going through things quite quickly 😯
So i’m either going to have to race through stuff or really condense my slides… i don’t want to overload people with information so i’m now looking at deleting material/condensing two or three slides into one point.
I could probably write a book on blogging so here lies the problem.. i have too much information on the subject to fit into 20 minutes, i don’t know where to start 😆
I mean i could probably spend 20 minutes talking about SEO alone, then another 20 on how to monetize blogs… so i’m facing a ‘nice’ headache in that sense. Now i know how Sir Alex Ferguson feels when he has to choose either Saha or Tevez to partner Rooney upfront, or Carrick or Hargreaves to partner Scholes in Midfield…
Simplicity is the key …. and brevity.
Don’t go too indepth into specifics …. a taste of the different areas should work best.
A lot of your audience won’t have much first hand experience of blogs other than an idea that they’re some kind of diary.
The few that know a little more …. have some nice tidbits of info that they’ll take away after listening to you.
What about having presentation notes and providing a link to your audience so that they can download them?
What about pushing the boat out and providing the notes via the smemon domain ….. voila … more readers ….. 😀
Your blog/business ideas are a great future IT project/coursework idea for you ….. kill two birds with the one stone … develop your business while using it to get your course grades/marks/credits!
You have a captive audience … all captive/future customers!!
yeah some good advice there 🙂
don’t worry, i have my blog as a watermark background throughout, plus as a ‘useful resource’ at the end of the presentation so loads of self promoting 😈
i also have 2 or 3 screenshots of it to explain SEO, give examples of the types of advertising etc..
