40. Bucket Brigade….
Outline
Joanna Weibe, Copyhackers : “the bucket brigade
technique is a way to get people to keep reading
what you’ve written.”
Example….
… nothing was ever closed up. Right?
Do you want to learn how to … ?
So you want to … ?
Want to know more about … ?
Have you ever wondered why … ?
Bucket brigade can be openers or Transitional
copy…..

41. Bucket Brigade….
Outline
Brian Dean … “Bucket Brigades are words and
phrases that keep people on your page.”
Bottom line: whenever you have a section where
someone may get bored and leave, add a Bucket
Brigade.

43. Steps to Re-Purposing
Outline
Save your outline as a text file
This will make it much easier to turn into a slide
deck.

44. Slide Deck
Slides
Each tool works slightly different, but PowerPoint,
Presi, Keynote, or Google Slideshow are all good
options.
PowerPoint - On the
Home tab, select the
down arrow on the New
Slide button. At the
bottom of the menu that
opens, select Slides from
Outline.

45. Slide Deck
Slides
If you have a branded template that you use for
most presentations, then you can use this here.
• BUT stick to the basic of font, logo, etc.
• Don’t overuse templates as they are not built
to evoke emotion.
• You create a blindness if the same item
appears too often.
• YOU want this to stand out and still be
congruent!
• Slides are Visual – make yours appealing.

46. Slide Deck
Slides
Spend extra time on the slide cover – this must grab
attention and be noteworthy.
• Headings are meant to have impact!!!
• Emphasize words with color. Don’t be shy here, just
remember to be congruent.
• Use images to evoke emotion. People take action
on what they feel more than what they see or read.
Make them feel something.
• Slides that stand on their own can also be
repurposed to Pinterest, Facebook, etc.
• These slides must be edited to include your CTA

47. Slide Deck
Slides
Include a CTA slide at about 60% through the slide
deck.
• Not everyone will finish your slides, but you want
them to see the CTA.
• Make it fit naturally into the presentation.
• Have another at the end of the presentation.
• They don’t have to be the same CTA.

boring title.

look right before uploading.

presentation. Downloads get shared and this is
good for you.

a copy of the presentation. A lot more
maintenance, but manageable with the right
systems.
