Casual Articles - 5 Reasons Not to Use PowerPoint
1) Use a live instructor. Adults learn best by doing, practicing, and experiencing. Effective instructors customize their programs to meet people’s needs, provide counsel on individual challenges, and respond to questions. Videos, CDs, and E-learning are seldom effective for primary learning. Since the greatest cost of learning is the payroll cost o
5. PowerPoint hogs center stage.
Once you project something on a big screen, people are going to look at it. Which means they aren't going to look at you. Which means they aren't going to pay attention to you or your ideas. You might as well just send
There are hundreds if not thousands of ways of marketing your therapy or coaching skills. Some cost just pennies and others require a bigger investment and are maybe more of a risk. The risk being that you won’t regain your investment. There are some marketing methods that require something other than your hard earned cash and this article is about
1. PowerPoint is boring.
When's the last time you thought, "Boy, I sure hope the presenter uses PowerPoint"? Years ago people were wowed by PowerPoint. It was new. It was different. Now it's commonplace. And, as a visual medium, it's clunky and static. It can't compete with TV, MTV, or movies. When you bring up PowerPoint and turn down the lights, people get the message: it's nap time.
2. PowerPoint is confusing.
OK, it isn't by itself confusing. But the way most people use it is confusing. Most presenters simply begin creating slides, before they even know what they want to communicate or why the audience would possibly care about it. And the end result is way too much information and way too little clarity.
3. PowerPoint is disempowering.
In most speeches, your goal is -- or should be -- to move people to take action. To get people to do something, you have to rouse their enthusiasm, passion, or interest. PowerPoint doesn't let you do that. It appeals, at best, to people's left brain -- their logical, analytic brain. It may help you teach people, but it won't help you touch them emotionally. And engaging people's emotions is the best way to get them into motion.
4. PowerPoint wastes time.
Sure you can use a ready-made template and the cheesy, downloadable graphics that everyone else uses. And if you do so, you may save time. But you'll end up with an ugly, flat, and -- did I say this before? -- boring presentation. To create a visually appealing PowerPoint presentation takes time. Lots and lots of time.

Whatever they are worth!As a consultant, that’s my standard answer. But I know it’s a bit more complicated than that. Hourly rates run the gamut from $50 to $500. Some are worth it and some aren’t. You could probably say the same about your attorney, accountant, and physician. Each is an expert that should be looking o

Because if you choose the wrong person to view your website.. even if you have found that great niche, with TONS of searches per month, and very little competition, if you have spent time considering the surfer who will be visiting your website.. your CTR could be way down.An Example.. say you found a great Adsense Marketing related niche.

5. PowerPoint hogs center stage.
Once you project something on a big screen, people are going to look at it. Which means they aren't going to look at you. Which means they aren't going to pay attention to you or your ideas. You might as well just send them your slides and script. And you might as well give up any hope of persuading them to do what you want them to do.
Here's what to do instead of using PowerPoint.
Begin by strategizing your speech. Know your audience and determine what you want them to do as a result of hearing you speak.
Create a clear and compelling message. Limit it to one main idea and three to five supporting ideas. Speak from an outline, guiding people step by step through your speech. If you need to show people graphs or charts, use a handout.
Speak to people as if you're holding a conversation with people you like. Show them how your idea will help them solve a problem or achieve a goal that's important to them. Do that, and they probably won't even realize you didn't use PowerPoint.
