“Shaun, I am starting a one person consulting firm and I would like assistance with my powerpoint. I have put together the general content but the powerpoint looks very unprofessional. Who do you recommend? S.R.”
SR, great question, as you either know or are quickly finding out, there is a lot to creating a one person start-up including marketing and powerpoints. I would typically ask all of my qualifying question on where you are with your start-up, however I am in New England for meetings for my paying job this week and I will focus on your powerpoint question.
Have you had powerpoint training? It is amazing what a non-technical / non-graphic artist can do with powerpoint these days. Second, I would look to resources in your industry and personal network to help with your powerpointg. Assuming you have already done thesea or you wouldn’t have submitted your question, my third recommendatino is the who. I recommend http://www.elance.com/, a site where freelancers bid for your project. Elance is fairly simply where you:
- Register
- Submit Your Proposal including Budget
- Review Bids
- Hire
Additionally, you can manage the work and have your payment in escrow until the work is completed. To learn more, check out more at: http://www.elance.com/p/how_it_works.html
