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…..

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Slide Deck
Slides
Make your slide CTA clickable and TELL THEM TO
CLICK THEM!

Slide Deck
Slides
• Provide actionable take-a ways from the slide deck.
• Triple check SPELLING, punctuation and GRAMMAR
• This piece of content is the most likely to be
embedded into someone else's site – Spend the
time making sure they want to have it there!
• Name your file carefully as the filename becomes
the URL for your Slideshare. (remember keywords)
• Keywords are important, but no one will click on a
boring title.
• Upload your presentation to SlideShare.

Slideshare Tips & Tricks
Slides
• Slideshare allows you to re-upload a presentation
if you want to update information, change a CTA
or just change it.
• You can embed:
• YouTube videos, livestreaming videos, Audio
files, PDF’s, documents and Infographics and a
real time feed of your blog into a Slideshare.
• Make sure your font is LARGE enough to read on
Mobile devices.
• Content FLOW will keep people engaged.
• Strive for clarity.

Slides
• Save your Presentations as PDF so that when
others save your presentations, they are not
editable.
• Open your PDF to make sure the links and fonts
look right before uploading.
• Reduce the PDF size again to speed uploading,
viewing and downloading.
• Add tags, descriptions, allow downloads and Set
to Public. Remember to use Keywords here.
• Share this on your social profiles.

Slides
• Allow for downloads and slide clipping – as long as
you have a great CTA embedded into the
presentation. Downloads get shared and this is
good for you.
• An option is to use the Slideshare as an opt in….
Enter your email address here and I will email you
a copy of the presentation. A lot more
maintenance, but manageable with the right
systems.

Slides
• Slideshare will transcribe your presentation, so
include keywords in the text.
• Tags increase search ability by up to 30%,
according to Slideshare.
