11 dead-simple rules to design a slide deck better than 95% of the population:
#1: Use a template.

You don't need to be a graphic designer.

It's all out there for you.

Choose a template that suggests layout, colors, + fonts.

Then half the battle is already won.

Try @SlidesCarnival.
#2: Use Canva not PowerPoint.

I know it's hard because you're so used to PowerPoint.

But spend 30 mins getting to know @canva, + save yourself 100s of future hours of your life.

It's intuitive, simple, + will get you more beautiful slides in 1/10th of the time.

Your Twitter thread will suck without a killer hook.

Here are 7 of the best hooks on Twitter

(to get your thread the attention it deserves):
#1: Make it attention-grabbing.

A good thread hook should be:

• scroll-stopping
• relevant
• concise

Grab the reader's attention.

Make them want to read more.

See this by @FitFounder:
@FitFounder #2: Be clear about who it's for.

Make sure your hook is relevant to your audience.

If they read the hook, they need to know the thread is for them.

That compels them to read on.

Your slides can make or break your presentation.

Over the past 5 years, I've reviewed over 300 slide decks.

Here are the 10 best tips I can give you to crush your next presentation:
#1: Stick to one idea per slide.

When you have too much content, that's often because you are trying to convey too much in one slide.

Strip it all back.

One idea per slide.

Talk about your idea. Make it meaningful for your audience.

Don't cram everything together.
#2: Don’t use them as a script.

This is the most common worry people have.

Q: "How will I remember what to say?"

A: If you need to, use notes.

Your slides aren't your memory aid, they are to enhance your message.

Provide handouts, use notes, don't put it all on the slides.
