As easy as it sounds,
people are making thousands of dollars nowadays with PowerPoint slides.
There are thousands of jobs
out there where Microsoft PowerPoint is the main skill you need.
So in this video, I want to share with you where to learn or perfect
your PowerPoint skills, where to apply, and how to make hundreds
or maybe thousands of dollars every single month with PowerPoint.
So let's dove in.
All right, guys.
So first things first.
Let's talk about where you can go and learn or perfect your Microsoft
PowerPoint skills.
And you can do that for free if you know where to look.
So I'm going to share my screen and I'll show you everything step by step.
Now, the first place that I recommend you go ahead and check out is Udemy.
And that is because they have hundreds
of thousands of different online courses and actually many of them are free.
So if you go head to Udemy dot com and you just simply search
for free PowerPoint, then you'll see that they have over
1000 courses where you can learn PowerPoint
no matter what level you're at because they have beginner, intermediate
and even expert courses that you can take on Udemy for free.
The other place that you can go and check out is Alison.
So if you go to Amazon.com,
you'll see that they have a good selection of Microsoft PowerPoint
skill courses and all of them, or many of them are actually for free.
There is one, for example, that is called learning Microsoft PowerPoint
that has really good reviews and you can literally start on the spot.
You don't have to wait.
You don't have to enroll or sign up, and it doesn't cost you anything.
And other than this one.
They also have a few other ones that teach you
even the basics of PowerPoint, if that's something new to you.
Last but not least, why not check out Microsoft's website directly?
They have a page where they share with you for free.
Quite a good selection of Microsoft PowerPoint.
Step by step courses they take you from slides and layouts
to inserting animation and how to present slide shows
and how to insert pictures in graphic use 3D models.
So really a good place to get started if you are a beginner
in Microsoft PowerPoint now that you know where you can go and learn this skill.
Let's talk about where you can go and apply for jobs that require
Microsoft PowerPoint as the main skill and you have a few options here.
You can go and offer your services as a freelancer
to create bespoke presentations.
You can obviously also offer your services to design presentations as a template.
And then last but not least,
you can sell your templates and I'll talk about that as well.
So let's talk about the first category where you create bespoke
presentations upon the request of a certain client.
And here you have many options.
But I'll share my screen and I'll show you two of them.
Upwork and Fiber.
So let's take a look.
So when you come to Apple.com, all you need to do is go
and search for jobs and type in the search bar PowerPoint.
After that, you'll get a list
of all the jobs that have PowerPoint as one of the required skills.
And you can obviously filter based on whether you want an hourly rate
or a fixed price.
What is the client history if they've hired or not anybody on Upwork before?
What's the project length and the hours per week that are required?
And just a few examples for them.
You see somebody is looking to pay $100 for someone to make a presentation
on a specific topic, simply create five slides.
Let's see.
Presentation deck needed with fostering around hourly rate between 20 and $40.
Slide content is already written, but design and branding esthetic is needed.
Compile financial order data in spreadsheets and PowerPoint
Intermediate estimated budget $150.
So I think all in all there are good options, good opportunities
for you on Upwork if you have PowerPoint as one of your skills.
Now let's take a look at Fiverr, because this is another platform
where you can apply and get hired to provide support and create Microsoft
PowerPoint slides or decks for a company or an individual.
So again, here, what you would need to do is create a profile
where you offer your services of creating bespoke PowerPoint
decks for particular industries or on particular topics.
Now I'll show you examples of other people who do exactly the same.
So on Fiverr dot com, what I will do is simply go and type PowerPoint.
And you see here, although the amount is shown
in Swiss francs because I am based in Switzerland,
you can approximate that with dollars as well.
And you see there is someone here who says, I will design a sleek
professional PowerPoint presentation for probably about $15.
I'll design a monster template, I'll redesign a PowerPoint presentation,
I will design a superior PowerPoint presentation and you see
people are charging even close to $70 to design a PowerPoint presentation.
I will create an engaging PowerPoint presentation design.
I will design professional level PowerPoint presentations for you.
This one is a pro verified Fiverr freelancer,
and this shows you that when you're level of expertize is really, really high
and you can prove that skill and you have examples of work you've done before,
you can even apply and get qualified as a pro Fiverr freelancer.
And then you are allowed and able to charge a lot more for your services.
So you see this person here, Noah Wildman, is charging
almost 1500 dollars, probably more
to design a PowerPoint deck.
Now, let's move to the second category, which is more focused on design.
So here I'm talking about you creating and designing a PowerPoint
template that you then sell to people who will add their own information
and fill that in.
So you would be technically giving up empty PowerPoint slide deck.
And here you have again many options.
But today I want to talk about dribble.
So if you go to dribble dotcom, you have a couple scenarios.
Either you want to search for a full time job or one as a freelancer.
So all you need to do is go to dribble dotcom.
And if you're looking for a full time job, you will go and click on the full time
job board here at the top and then here in the filter
you will just type PowerPoint
and you'll see here that there are some jobs that have been recently posted
that are looking for presentation designers.
So for example, there's one here which is a full time job
looking for a presentation designer, and it was posted 12 days ago.
There is a brand designer, a design manager, which is a remote job
for next Gen America.
So you have some options with full time jobs on dribble.
Now if you're looking for a freelance job where you are
hired for your design skills in PowerPoint, then you would go
again at the top of the page and simply click on freelance jobs.
And again, all you need to do is come here on the filter and type PowerPoint.
Once you do that, you see that right now there is one job looking to hire
someone to redesign a PowerPoint presentation deck
and the pay is pretty good, so think you should check it out.
The third category that I have for you today is designing your own
PowerPoint templates and then selling those on different platforms
where people go to download and purchase this kind of templates.
I'm going to talk about two options today,
but there are many, many others out there.
And if you're interested in me creating a dedicated video where I share
with you many platforms where you can go and sell your PowerPoint templates,
do let me know in the comments down below
and I'll make sure to do that as soon as possible.
Now, the nice thing about doing this,
so creating a template that you sell on a marketplace like the tube that I'm
going to share with you is that you get paid for the same work again and again.
So you're literally creating a passive
income stream simply by designing a presentation once.
So first I'm going to talk about etsy.com and then I'll share the second one.
So here you can see people are creating various types of PowerPoint presentations
and they're charging somewhere between ten and $15.
My shows, Friends
because I live in Switzerland, but you can almost equal one franc to $1.
There's here a presentation template that is being sold
for almost 18 to $19, another one for about $8.
One for five.
Another one for seven.
This one for about 11.
This one is a little bit cheaper
and then there is one here where they are asking for 166,
probably dollars, but this one is for custom slides.
So obviously on Etsy, you can offer template slides or custom slides.
They give you that option as well.
The other thing that I think is really interesting and a good opportunity
for you to consider is that people are redesigning games
and putting those in PowerPoint templates and then selling those as
digital games on Etsy.
So if you're creative like that and your skills are at another level,
then definitely consider that as well.
The second platform that I want to talk about today is Envato Elements.
They are a huge marketplace.
They host.
They're all types of different creative elements,
which is why they're called envato elements.
And you can go ahead and upload your PowerPoint
presentation on Envato and sell that there as well.
And on average, prices range between five,
15, $20 per template.
And as I said, this is really, really interesting because then you get paid
that amount every single time somebody downloads your presentation deck.
So let's take a look.
So when you come to Envato Dotcom,
you can obviously see that people create similar examples,
similar presentations in both keynote Google slides and PowerPoint.
I've only selected PowerPoint for now, but if you have the skills,
you will be able to recreate the same design in other
presentation designers like Keynote for Macbeth or Google Slides.
So you can see here people have created very diverse presentation templates
startup pitch deck, expert PowerPoint template, minimal mass, multipurpose
PowerPoint template, minimalist presentation, infographics, e-books.
My recommendation for you here is that you don't just create
a generic PowerPoint template, but you try and anticipate
a goal or a need that your ideal customer would have.
So think about whether you can create a deck for a certain occasion.
A pitch deck is great and investor deck is great.
A financial results deck would be great.
So think about what kind of presentations your customers would need
and try and create those with this in mind.
All right, you guys, that was it for today.
Thank you so, so much for watching.
Until next time, I recommend you go ahead and watch this video over here
where I share similar examples, but for Excel templates and Excel skills.
Thank you again and I'll see you next time. Bye.
