Lovely Lists

Danielle discovered Haiku Deck through a Google search —  as she put it, “I loathe PowerPoint, so I was just looking for something different.”

“I loathe PowerPoint, so I was just looking for something different.”

When I spoke with her, she commented that she thinks of Haiku Deck as a classy way to generate Buzzfeed-type content — eye-catching lists with lots of images and minimal text. {Haiku Deck pairs perfectly with lists — we’ve collected some of our favorites on our Lists Pinterest board.}

Danielle loves that the content she creates with Haiku Deck is so easy to share on Twitter and Facebook, as well as SlideShare and LinkedIn, where she feels it works particularly well —  “I love to get my decks out there and see the view counts add up. It’s just another way of sharing my story and my content.”

Pro Tips

Danielle has cooked up her own spin on collaboration — to work with a group on a Haiku Deck, she made a draft, sent the link around to her collaborators, and made real-time edits while talking through the content on a conference call. “It was easy for us to collaborate,” recounts Danielle. “I was able to do it all from my iPad.”

“I was able to do it all from my iPad.”

She also uses Adobe Illustrator to create her own custom images, such as this three-photo layout, which she then imports to Haiku Deck.

Danielle recommends Haiku Deck for trainers, entrepreneurs, coaches, and businesses who need content but don’t have a lot of money to pay for it.
