Note: This post has been updated to reflect the new publishing flow in Haiku Deck 2.0. If you haven’t yet updated your app, be sure to do that here.

So you’ve created an amazing Haiku Deck, something you’re proud of. Something you want to show to anyone and everyone, including the innocent bystander standing next to you on the subway platform. Well, we agree. It’s time to set your beautiful story free! And there are so many ways to do it, both straight from the app on your iPad or from the Haiku Deck website. Here’s how!

Sharing from the app

1. Play your deck directly from your iPad, the modern and engaging way to pitch to a small group. And with the parallax effect at work, advancing your slides has never been sexier.

2. Connect your iPad directly to a projector for a “1: many” talk, either through a direct connection with an iPad VGA adaptor.

OR

3. with Apple TV via Airplay. For more on how to do this, check out this blog post.

4. Email your deck to yourself. Doing this generates a very useful web link. By clicking through this link, you will be magically transported to your gallery on the website, where you can add notes, set your privacy, see how many views you’re generating, or get selected for our Gallery or one of our highly prestigious Pinterest boards…must we go on?

5. Email it to a friend or friends! They will be amazed at your Haiku Deck prowess and honored to receive your deck, especially if it’s an invitation, like this one.

6. Share your deck directly to your Facebook page and watch those views rack up.

7. Do the same on Twitter. Nothing says “Happy Birthday“ like Haiku Deck!

8. Grab an embed code for your blog or website. This is a fantastic way to add rich content in a flash. You can see the most-viewed Haiku Deck of all time here, on Seth Godin’s blog.

9. Export your deck to Powerpoint or Keynote. From there you can add video, speaker notes, transitions, the whole nine yards. You can also upload it to SlideShark to view and share from your iPhone or iPad. Fancy. This article has some helpful detail about why and how you might want to do this.

10. Want to add a soundtrack to your Haiku Deck? Create a Slidecast and engage your audience with visuals and sound. Here’s a great example of Haiku Deck/Slidecast integration from Dr. Michelle Mazur.

11. Copy a URL to your clipboard. This is handy for classroom iPads without access to email.

But the app can’t do everything. Only when the powers of the iPad and the web combine does Haiku Deck magic truly happen. After making your deck, head to the Haiku Deck website to access, track, and share all of your creations.
