How to Use Google Slides for 5 Day Hot Leads Challenge?
If you have any kind of presentation to do, you might think of using PowerPoint.
You certainly can user that or any number of tools out there but today we’ll talk about using Google Slides.
Google Slides is an online slide or presentation document editor.
You can use it to create pretty much any kind of slides you need all from your browser.
The cool thing about Google Slides is that the document is saved online and you can view or edit it from any computer in any browser.
Where to start
Let’s start with the baics.
To create a new Google Slide document, you can do it in different ways, but since I user Gmail, I like to start from there.
In your gmail screen, you’ll see a icon with 9 little dots. Click that.
This will open up the list of all the Google Apps. Choose Drive and click on it.
A new tab will open with your Google Drive folder and document list.
You can then click the?+ New?button and select Google Slide or create a new folder to contain your slide documents.
If you choose to create a new folder, select and click on the?+ Folder
Which will open the New folder creation popup.
Where you can give it a name and click the?Create?button after which you need to double click the folder to enter it

You create it by clicking the?+ New?button and choosing Google Slide
You can even start from a template which opens a new tab like this:
After choosing a template (just click on it), you’ll be shown a pre-filled presentation with existing text and pages.
You can (and will want to) of course edit it all and put your own text in it.
How did I use it for my Hot Leads 5 day challenge?
Of course, you can do quite a lot with Google Slides but I kept it to basics for me.
First, I created a document for each day of my challenge.
Even though people in the challenge are likely to have seen day 1 or day 2 when they are attending day 3, you still want to make it a complete presentation
This means having the same, or generaly the same, sections.
Obviously, the content will be different and you can make some section shorter on future days, but you should stlll make sure to have all the sections.
Here’s what I typically do in terms of sections.
A typical Agenda for me looks like this:
