People wonder how I’ve managed to generate over 2 million views on Slideshare, and many more on LinkedIn. The answer? By tinkering around.
For example, last month I wrote an article and created a Slideshare about tinkering around. Both bombed. They were among my least-read pieces. In the hours following their release, I made a few minor adjustments, but nothing helped.
Yesterday I took a fresh look at both pieces, and decided this was a remarkable opportunity to show – rather than tell – the power of tinkering around. So I dramatically revised the Slideshare, and wrote an entirely new LinkedIn article.
I just checked, and my new article has been shared over 1,000 times in four hours. More importantly, it’s sparked an intelligent discussion in which people are sharing their own ideas and success stories.
