Editor's Notes
- #22 • Find the right theme for your listener – in the case of the main theme around which you are talking, it is extremely helpful if you have a pithy and punchy headline which sums up your topic. This may sound obvious but even at this initial stage you should be engaging your creative right brain. What will add colour, imagination and excitement to your words? Get creative and find a headline that stimulates your listener curiosity, so that they arrive in an inquisitive frame of mind. • Structure your plan so that you can deliver on that theme persuasively – As to how to structure your words, this is even more critical for anyone who wants to be able to improvise. The reality is that when it comes to thinking on your feet, your plan will help with engagement by imposing order on your communication. And the three essential planks of your planning process are to define the central core of your topic, to separate ideas out distinctly from one another, and to create momentum in your words so that you move your listeners smoothly from point A to B to C. Adapt to listeners’ reactions as you speak – don’t slavishly prepare a script; rather base your communication around the knowledge you have, ask questions and trust that it is in the interaction that the power and memorability of presentation occurs.
- #26 Be Clear & Concise There's a great quote from Mark Twain that says "Use the right word, not its second cousin.", which is not only great advice for writers, but designers as well. You don't have to get fancy when you present your products. Instead, think simply. What's the clearest and most concise way to showcase what your product does? Figure out how you can highlight the best things about a particular item. What makes it special? Unique? What would make you want to buy it? Since you're also a customer, put yourself on the other side of the fence and sell yourself on your own product.

- #28 Show, Don't Tell This is an old writing adage that some of us may remember from our freshman composition courses, but it's no less relevant here. When you have limited space to work with, you probably don't want to use up precious real estate with a lot of words. You want to show people your product, not tell them about it. Don't worry, you'll have an opportunity to call out as many details as you want in your product description, but when it comes to your screenshots, a picture really is worth a thousand words.
- #29 Demonstrate Your Product When it's possible, show your creations in action right up front. If customers can get a sense of what to expect before they even click through to your product, you're already a step ahead. This can be easier to do with some products over others, but that just forces you to be a little creative. And often times, a little creativity goes a long way.
- #30 Incorporate Other Assets With a marketplace full of amazing design goods at your disposal, you can find just about anything you would need to help accent the presentation of your own products. Have a really great font you're selling? Try using a really spectacular background to make your screenshots pop. Do you have a new icon set you want to stand out from the 100s of other icons sets available? A great logo can help add unique branding and personality. You might even ask another designer to help you create something really special.
