theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 42

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 43

Wait for the percentage to go 100%

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 44

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 46

Click here to browse your slides

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 47

Since my presentation only has 3 slides, it will show 1/3 , 2/3 and

3/3 as I press the right arrow button

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 48

You can modify your slide further

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 50

Clicking here will enable you to type in your desired title

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 51

The default title will be that of the original file name of the upload

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 52

Let us try to change the title for the presentation

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 53

I have changed the title to My test slide

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 54

See the blue bar below?

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 55

It is called “Discoverability Score”

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 56

At first it was color red

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 57

Red means it has low score

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 58

The bar color changed to blue after renaming the title

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 59

This means that my discoverability score went up

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 60

So what is this “Discoverability Score”?

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 61

Higher scores means it makes my presentation easier to find

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 62

So how do you increase your Discoverabilty Score?

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 63

It can be increased by adding more information about the

presentation like:

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 64

Title

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 65

Description

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 66

Category

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 67

and tags

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 68

for the title, I recommend using something that is related to your

presentation

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 69

Choose also titles that are interesting to the readers

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 70

For the description, you can type in the something that will supplement your title

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 71

Next will be the category

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 72

To choose the category you desire click here

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 73

Clicking the drop down button will show different categories to

choose from

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 74

It will look like this

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 75

Try to select the one nearest to your presentation

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 76

To the right of the category is the privacy option

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 77

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 78

After clicking the privacy you will see three options

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 79

First one is public

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 80

This means that only you can see your uploaded presentation

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 81

Second is the private – anyone with link

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 82

In some sense this is also called a private mode of privacy

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 83

The difference is others can see your presenation provided they

have the link

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 84

This second option is useful if you want to share your presentation to

selected people

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 85

Third one is called private

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 86

This means that only you, the creator can view your slide

presentation

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 87

This is useful if you want to upload files for your own use only

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 88

Next will be the tags

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 89

Tags can help for others to find your presentation

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 90

Placing tags will act as a search keyword

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 91

These keywords will enable people who type at search engines like

Google to find your presentation

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 92

Since my presentation is a test slide, I will use test slide, test,

SlideShare as my tags

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 93

After adding the necessary information it will look like this

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 94

Last step will be to publish the presentation

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 95

Publishing means that the presentation will go live

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 96

In other words it will be ready for viewing depending on the privacy

option you selected

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 97

To do this click on publish

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 98

Wait for the site to finish publishing the presentation

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 99

The result will look like this

theoptimumguides.wordpress.com Mark Earnswell E. Dimailig ©2015 100
