Create Resources List for Presentations

You're wrapping up a compelling presentation on the latest marketing trends, the latest medical research, or the latest advancements in your field of expertise. You've mentioned several articles, tools, and case studies throughout your talk that your audience would benefit from. How are you going to share those resources?

Commonly, these resources are just listed on a slide, and audience members will take a photo of that slide, looking up the URLs later. But not all URLs are nice and succinct, especially not for research papers.

Alternatively, you could have people enter their email into a form, allowing you to email them the resources later. However, that requires quite a bit of work, and you'll be busy celebrating a successful presentation.

You could create a Google Doc or a Notion page that lists your links, which would work fine, but they're not exactly purpose-built for this, and the URL isn't necessarily going to be easy for people to type out.

This is where Links List can greatly help you and your audience. Creating a Links List is exceptionally easy; you don't even have to create an account (though we suggest it so you can control who edits the contents).

Using Links List, you can create a visually pleasing, purpose-built list of resource links, complete with meta-data, custom descriptions, and images.

To create a Links List of resources, simply follow the steps below:

  1. Click Create Links List
  2. Enter the URLs of your resources.
    • Don't worry about submitting them one by one; just put a space between each URL, and the app will handle the rest.
  3. Edit the title and description of the list.
    • Give visitors some context for the links they're looking at.
    • Perhaps even include a link to your presentation!
    • Consider setting your list to be locked, so only you can make changes to it.
  4. Click Get Link.
  5. Copy your link into your resources slide.
  6. That's it!

That's the bare minimum you can do, but there's so much more you can explore.

You can go ahead and customize your list too, changing the theme and display style, and even writing custom link titles/descriptions or changing the image displayed alongside a link.

Now, your resources slide will no longer intimidate your audience members. They won't have to worry about manually typing in a lengthy URL to access a research paper or remembering the exact domain of a statistics website.

Happy Linking!
