14 SLIDESHARE VIRAL

HACKS @RAJESHSOUND

1. UNIVERSAL APPEAL

If your topic doesn’t have universal appeal or at least appeal to one segment, forget going viral.

2. ETERNAL PULL

Unless you want to try your luck on short-lived topics, messages that have higher longevity survive.

3. BE UNCOMPLICATED

People are always in a hurry, and too busy for 167 slides. Keep it precise with less than 20 slides. They will get it.

4. CATCHY HEADING

Let us face it, even if we do not judge book by its cover we still buy the book because of the cover. So goes for movie posters. Your heading gets the click. Period.

5. STICKY CONTENT

When did you last sit through a rambling movie or lecture. Real stories, Intrigue, Humor, help that click to the next slide.

6. TICKLE EMOTIONS

Let us face it. We are humans, not robots. When it touches your heart, you read on, else….

7. GLOBALLY LOCAL

Remove biases, write as if you are a reader from other side of earth. Check, recheck to negate biases, prejudices.

8. CREDIBLE AUTHOR

Well, even if you are not an expert, try

not to overlook the obvious disconnects.

Go with the flow. A mommy talking on

super-moms is an easier sell.

9. ONE-WAY TRAFFIC

Have all your online links point to that

“one slideshare deck”. Do NOT post

multiple decks. Do not split traffic,

unnecessarily.

10. FRIENDS, FAMILY

Share first with friends, family. Ask them

to ‘like’ and ‘ share’. Creates that initial

trigger. Such content up as ‘featured

slides’.

11. +SOCIAL GROUPS

If you are member of groups on social

network, shamelessly share it across in

all those groups. Ask them to re-share

freely, if they find it helpful.

12. +PUBLIC PRIVACY

Share links across your social network.

Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google,

LinkedIn – whatever works. Set privacy

setting to public to maximum reach.

13. 1H8H 24H 72H

Re-share-share links on YOUR network at

regular intervals. On Public Groups,

where you are a member, share once

after 24 hours.

14. CHILL PILL

Sit back, relax, enjoy your moments of

glory. Thank each one personally that

like, retweet, write to you, post

comments, re-share.
