It's Easy To Present Online With Voice Narration
I wanted to see just how fast I could come up with an idea, create a presentaiton and set it up online with voice narration. Therefore, I timed myself.
First, I read an article in Time Magazine about how we are in a gold bull market. This took about 5 minutes.
Next, I created an outline of the presentation using PowerPoint. I made one outline point per slide. This took about 10 minutes. I also searched the Internet for a nice image of a gold bar which Google Image Search delieved up in about 0.23 seconds.
I then rounded out the presentation and added some easy animation (simple fade in/out and some fly-in animations). This took about 15 minutes.
I was now ready to upload the presentation to the PTT Presenter online presentation system. Logging in, uploading and setting up a survey and active link to a URL from within the admin side took about 20 minutes.
The rough script took me about 10 minutes and then I practiced once to fine tune and edit it and then I dialed the telephone and 15 minutes later a fine (though simple) voice narrated presentation was ready titled "A Case for $2,000 an oz. Gold".
This was fun to do this, educational as it made me think a bit about how I wanted to present the case and what I wanted to say - this active thinking increased the educational level well beyond simply reading the article. Above all else it was fast.
When all was done and said (a bit of a reversal of a cliche) it had taken 1 hour and 15 minutes to go from concept (with no real idea) to a fully functional voice narrated presentation with an active link embeded in it and a marketing survey to boot.
