Slides on LinkedIn

How to make LinkedIn slides? The short story: save a presentation as PDF and upload as document with a LinkedIn post.

Wrap the presentation up, save it and export to PDF. Open LinkedIn, start a post and upload the PDF as document. Explain the slides and post.

In the coming days I will experiment a bit more and also see how to apply some branding to the slides.
