Ready to use Google slides for awesome business presentations - Interested?

Hello to all!

I've had an idea in mind for a while, and I haven't had time to validate it yet (my main SaaS project is taking all my time), so I'm telling you about it today!

Let me know if it's a service you would be interested in 😃

As an IT architecture consultant and SEO freelancer, I often need to make Powerpoint presentations for my clients.

The problem is that making the design of my slides takes a lot of time ⏳

This is a crucial point because it represents my work, and therefore influences the perception of my clients. My slides, in addition to carrying a constructive message, must therefore be beautiful and attractive.

🔍 I noticed with my colleagues and freelancers friends that this problem was recurrent, and that they all wasted a lot of time "building" their slides, in addition to thinking about the main message.

That is why I decided to gather, standardize and classify all my slides made in the last 2 and a half years!

This allowed me to build my own library of ready-to-use slides, which I can reuse in all my presentations: sales presentations, operational committee presentations, elevator pitches, audit reports... It saves me a lot of time! Since the design part is already done, I just have to focus on the message I'm going to display 🔥

Would you be interested in a service like this? Would you be willing to pay for it (I was thinking to a one time - full access payment) ?

My library is now composed of +500 homemade slides and +100 homemade icons, Powerpoint / Google Slides compatible (fully customizable).

Attached is an overview of what it looks like.

Let me know what you think, I'd love to get your feedback!

    I think for a freelancer, this might be of good value. But a small caveat to this is that many efficient freelancers have templates themselves. They simply change the content and optimize it for each client.

    That being said, there is definitely a market for this idea. You can try doing some market validation on this community by running some surveys.

    Do you have a website or landing page where I can see some samples?

      Thank you for your message. Indeed I was also thinking about this for freelancers.

      In fact I was thinking mostly of sales teams in small companies (I was part of one) who don't necessarily have ready-made slides and whose job it is not to make them. I could see a sales manager paying to give his team access to such a library. To be confirmed.

      I don't have a landing page yet, actually I took 5 minutes yesterday to expose my idea on indiehackers, I need to work a little more ahah.

      I'll let you know as soon as there is one if you want :)

        Makes sense surely.

        And that's great man! In fact it's good that you shared the idea here. You might get great idea validation from other members.

        Keep up the hustle! I'd be interested to take a look at it whenever you're ready with a landing page. Do mark me on this message thread 👋

    That’s a well-done review! You did master the art of making presentations in Google Slides.
    It is not my preferred type of presentation-making assistant, and I like websites like https://okslides.com more. They are easier to use for me. The interface is simpler, and there are fewer concerns about copyrights and stuff. I often have to make presentations because of my job, and I like this tool more than the others. Maybe I don’t know about a better one, but this one is good for me so far.
    My boss also likes it even though he is quite cold towards all the decorative elements in a presentation.

    Amazing idea! I would definitely pay for a service like this. I also spend a lot of time working on slides, which takes away from time spent on the content of the actual presentation itself.

      Thanks for your answer! :)
      Out of curiosity, how much would you be willing to pay for a service like this?

      1. 1

        I would pay max $10 a month.

        1. 1

          Well noted, thanks :)

          As I said to vicjicama, I was thinking of a rough price of $20 lifetime access or $35 lifetime + future updates (something like that).

          To me it seems difficult to ask for a monthly payment as it is only a database of documents, but maybe I'm wrong.

    The example template looks great!
    I will be ok paying for this, I have done a couple presentations lately and something like this would help, but I think that this will depend on the number of slides and the price.

    You can check if there are similar services and their offers to help your validation.

      Thanks a lot for your feedback!

      I know there are other similar services out there, I'll have to look more into what they offer.
