Keep your content updated is vital. You constantly type on Facebook with news and video presentations of your products. Necessary if you do not want to lose your Facebook fans.

Add PowerPoint slides to Google Earth

In mid-March I will be heading to SCETV studios in Columbia for a week of workshops, teaching South Carolina teachers about Google Earth. I do this every year and thoroughly enjoy meeting educators from around the state. Each year I try to change things up a bit, and this year is no different.

I’m really tired of PowerPoint. Or, more specifically, I’m tired of the laziness of boring bullet points read to an audience. I try to keep these to a minimum in my presentations, preferring to demonstrate actual software rather than spend the entire presentation in PowerPoint. This time I think I’ve found a way to combine both PowerPoint and Google Earth for an effective presentation, and here’s how I’m going to do it.

My inspiration for this mash-up comes from two sources. First there is this video from a group of students in Taiwan, using Google Earth as a basis for their music video in “Zoom between Trans-ethnicity.”

The zooming effects are really cool, and illustrate that the GE engine can be used for much more than just earth imagery.

Fast forward a bit to a month or so ago when I discovered the Prezi demonstration platform. This platform uses zooming as a transitional element between display screens, feeling very much like Google Earth. I had thought I might use this for the workshops, but I actually found an even better method.

Step One – I opened up my PowerPoint presentation, then went to File and Save As. Instead of a PPT file I selected JPG. This would save all of my slides as individual image files.

Step Two – I created a folder in Google Earth called “Presentation”

Step Three – I began adding the slides as image overlays. I would choose a location, orientation, and zoom level for each slide, then would “snapshot” that overlay view.

Step Four – If the slides were not already in order, I would drag and drop them into the correct position.

Step Five – During the presentation, turn off any additional layers, including borders, labels, and roads. These will interfere with the slides.

Step Six – The folder can be saved as a KMZ file for sharing.

The video clip below demonstrates how this can be used, starting with my opening slide zoomed completely out, and then zooming in for additional slides. You may want to replay the video at least once, as it tends to be smoother the second time through. It’s fairly short.

Using this technique I can demonstrate one more way that Google Earth can be used, without having to leave the program to go to my presentation slides.

We were able to build a queue of PowerPoint files for conversion within a few minutes, which was nice but expected. The program's biggest surprise came from the variety of file types we could convert to. Everything was available, from traditional video formats like .avi to the iPod-friendly MP4 format on down to Xbox-compatible files. The conversion took a few minutes, but it didn't feel long considering we were converting a slideshow with over 20 slides.

It is a straight way to make your photo album available to Web visitors. The method requires you to specify a Web server or other available computer when choosing a location for the file.

1. In the PowerPoint (default to 2003), open the photo album you want to publish to the Web.

2. On the File menu, select Save as Web Page.

3. Click Publish to enter the Publish as Web Page interface.

4. Under Publish what?, click Complete presentation.

Then do any of the following:

Now, you can choose this method as a workaround, i.e. to convert the photo album presentation to video slideshow for Web.

How to Play PowerPoint on DVD-Player TV

No matter to give a class, host a meeting, sell a product or train a team, MS PowerPoint works utterly nice. But it is never enough when you have to resume a PowerPoint piece on another OS but with lower MS programs or to archive it for future use anywhere else.

To troubleshoot the extensibility of a presentation, you can use an intermediate, something like a converter, to clone your PowerPoint content onto a DVD disc. This is really beneficial - because by converting PowerPoint to DVD, you can easily access a slideshow on either a TV or a different computer, and keep it as a memory copy for more delivery.

Choose the Coolest Converter

There is a dazzling string of conversion choices when you Google with “PowerPoint to DVD“. But be sure to pick a truly smart program. Screen capture tools like TechSmith Camtasia Studio 4 and Adobe Captivate 3 do work well, but such tools won’t cost you a small bulk.

The best PowerPoint to DVD solution should be a combination of efficiency and economy. To be frank, Moyea PPT to DVD Burner is a proper software app that empowers you to create cross-platformed presentation (in form of DVD or video) while saving your budget most at just dozens of dollars. And of course, it is a one-step option to burn every subtlety of the PowerPoint source onto a protective DVD. Give it your PowerPoint content, and it let you take a genuine DVD copy in one second.

Stunning PPT Stuff on TV Screen

When you are presenting to a certain group, you can switch the burnt DVD presentation on a big-screen TV (along with a DVD player). There is no need to worry any more about the problem of lights with projectors. You can keep all or most of the lights on when delivering your presentation with TV. Make sure your text and graphics are large enough to be seen on the small the screen. You will probably have to increase the type size significantly.

Another merit of slideshow on TV is to make you closer to your audience. No need to always sit in front of the podium that barrier between you and your audience. You can step down to join in all those eager ears and make a concise connection.

In brief, planting presentation stuffs onto DVD disc is of great help to amend the deficiency of PowerPoint itself, as it offers a straight way to share your amazing slides on TV and thus deliver your ideas more flexibly.

How to Gain More Traffic from YouTube with PowerPoint

YouTube, now the world’s largest free video hosting site, is also a great tool for E-marketing. When mentioned a video, the first idea that flashes in most minds is nothing but the all-mighty YouTube. You know every day, there are millions of netizens surfing on YouTube, the heaven of videos, to search, watch, share, upload or download a favorite clip. If you have a website, and an account on YouTube, you would probably gain a great traffic from that to your site. YouTube’s free video sharing along with the enormous network of visitors is a perfect consideration to promote products and services on your site.

Then how to maximize the traffic of your website by a free video ad on YouTube? Here are a set of useful tricks for you:

First of all, create a definite video with PowerPoint.

You can use a digital camera to capture some pictures or video clips. Furthermore, you can take MS PowerPoint, which hosts a dazzling collection of animated effects, to make a video advertisement that is more amazing and organized. I see many PowerPoint generated videos posted on YouTube, some with a logo of a brand, some with a site URL at the end, some even embedded with a movie clip, and they look the same professional yet more creative. And you can try this innovation of video making. Personally, I recommend you try some reliable conversion software (like Moyea PPT to Video Converter) to brief the process from PowerPoint to video.

OK. Let’s go back to the very content of video ad making. Pay attention to these:

1. Name the video nice.

Think before compose on PowerPoint. What is the objective of this video presentation? What is an appropriate name for the video ad? How can it capture your potential customers at the first sight? Things like that do deserve your careful analysis. A nice name that is informative and has good rank in Google (and other search engines like Yahoo, MSN live) will work wonder. Exercise your imagination to make an eye-catching name for your YouTube video. The key is to get your audience involved. You can use an interrogative beginning with “What” or “How” or anything attractive to arouse their curiosity.

2. Use right PowerPoint template.

You should know the preference of your target audience first. If your video slide show is targeted at professionals, then take a formal PowerPoint template rather than a casual one. If it is for kids and youngsters, you can pick up a cool colorful tune.
Google one at the Internet, like Free PowerPoint Template Download, or make a distinctive template yourself.

3. Organize the message in your presentation.

Specify a focus of your video ad. Then try to give clear and concise description of the focus. Take advantage of the animations and wipes in PowerPoint. In addition, you can insert some relevant photos, sounds, clip arts, or even movie clips to colorize your presentation. Before finalizing it to video, check the whole presentation and see if it contains the very message you want to convey.

4. End the video with a teaser trailer writing your site URL.

The video is made to increase visits of your website. While promotional info that is too obvious in the video may cause a force-out from YouTube, you can put a subtle teaser trailer, writing the URL of your website at the end of the video. This will bring more chances to publicize your site.

5. Trim the video slide show within 5 minutes.
Don’t test the patience of your audience. No matter how perfect the content is, an over-long video show will weary its viewers. Measure the timing (slide transitions) in your presentation, and ensure it is no more than 5 minutes in total.

6. Watermark the video with your company/site logo.

Add a watermark on each slide to identify yourself, brand your company or site, and protect your video slide show from prying hands.

After your ad PowerPoint presentation converted to video, you can forward to

The second step - upload the video ad to YouTube with your account.

Put your video on YouTube and just leave it there? No, never stop unless you don’t expect a winning traffic from it!

There is still a lot of work to do for a satisfying achievement. Run your brains to make your video one of the top on YouTube. Only does your YouTube video win a sound stance among SERPs (Search Engine Results Page), can it attract more traffic to your relevant website.

Here follows several tips for increasing visits of your YouTube video:

a. Post your YouTube video to all the blogs, Podcasts, websites of yours and others. Link it to anywhere available. Exact practice: copy the Embed code of your YouTube video to where you want to insert.
b. Email it to all your friends and clients. YouTube allows such “Email to a friend” action. The more, the better.

OK. Just try your best to promote your video ad on YouTube. Never give up, even it is not that satisfying at first. Good luck!
