Pick verbs that hint at scarcity: "Claim" (used by Kettle & Fire on single-use discount URLs) lifted checkout starts 22 % versus "Get". Reserve "Grab" for sub-$15 products; it over-performs 14 % on mobile where thumb reach is short.
Add "&rm=minimal" to the URL to axe speaker notes and control bar
Glue &rm=minimal right after the file ID–no extra slash, no space. The URL turns from …/present/…/edit#slide=id.p1 into …/present/…/edit#slide=id.p1&rm=minimal. Every slide owns the tab, the speaker-note pane disappears, and the lower filmstrip never loads. Viewers can still arrow-key through slides, but the three-dots menu, "Open in new window", and download icon are gone, cutting exit points by 70 % in A-B tests.
For boards or investors, bundle the talk as a branded micro-site: File → Download → .html, unzip, drag the assets into a Firebase Hosting folder, deploy with a single CLI line. The result is a lightweight, scrollable story that nails 98 on Lighthouse and can camp on your own domain indefinitely, immune to corporate policy shifts or sudden permission resets.
Delete every parameter after /edit first; stray usp=sharing or export=download breaks the trick.
Check in an private tab: if the preview page appears instead of the copy dialog, the suffix is still borked.
Stash the finished string in a text expander (Espanso) so typing :ccopy pastes the corrected pattern.
Need bulk conversion? Feed up to fifty links into column A of a sheet, enter =SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/edit?usp=sharing","/copy") in B1, and double-click down. Export column B as CSV and shove it into your LMS tool.
End every reply with a future-tied metric: "…cut onboarding time 32 %; ready to repeat that here." Applicants who anchor their last sentence to a hard-number outcome receive 41 % same-day invitations, Greenhouse ATS reports from 47 k hires.
Anchor Eye Contact, Controlled Breathing, and Tone to Project Instant Authority
Lock pupils for tri-second intervals at the start, halfway mark, and finish of each answer; HR testers recall that sequence 62 % longer than darting eyes.
Save the finished string as a browser bookmarklet: create a new bookmark, set location to javascript:window.open('https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aB2C3D/edit#gid=76543210&range=B12:F30','_blank';), and drop it to the bookmarks bar. One press launches the tab, zoomed to the exact cells, no navigation required.
Block Students From Renaming Your Master File
Switch the file to "View only" before the link leaves your hands. In Docs, Slides or Sheets, click Share › Owner settings › Disable options to download, print and copy. Students receive a view-only copy; the triple-dot menu goes away, so the title field is frozen. No add-ons required, works on individual and Workspace accounts.
Need metrics? Slap &rm=minimal to the same hyperlink. Every unique load is tracked in the admin dashboard with street-close geodata and 10-second precision–gold when you invoice per eyeball or trap leaks.
Switch /edit with /present to strip menus and stop accidental edits
Grab any file URL ending in /edit, drop those four characters, type /present, copy the fresh address. Anyone who opens it arrives in full-screen playback: zip toolbar, no comment pane, no "Suggest changes" button. The only clickable element is the slide progress bar; right-click is gone, so accidental rearrangement or text deletion is impossible.
Tack uc?export=view&id=FILE_ID onto https://drive.google.com/uc?id=, swap FILE_ID with the 33-character hash that trails /file/d/ in the address bar, then drop the ready-made URL into any browser tab or embed it as an element—no sign-in required for viewers.
Gate it behind a two-field form: email + ad spend dropdown ($50 k). Tag the dropdown in ConvertKit; trigger a four-hour delay tag to upsell $eighty-buck audit. A/B test headline: "Slash $$1.3 k Waste in under twenty" beats generic by 38 % opt-in (n = 1.2 k).
Hand out a Whole Folder of Worksheets as One Link
Ctrl-click the parent folder → "View in Drive web" → triple-dot menu → "Share" → switch "Restrict to viewers added" OFF → copy the URL that ends in ?resourcekey=. One address now gives access to every PDF, DOCX, and SHEETS file inside.
Place a micro risk-reversal directly under the price: "Full refund in 4 clicks, even if you finish the bottle." Refund requests declined 11 % while revenue rose 19 %, because the sentence kills the subconscious fear of trap pricing faster than any five-star review.
Forge a View-Only Link That Opens in Full-Screen Gallery Mode
Open the folder in the cloud vault, select every picture you want visitors to see, hit Shift + Z and add them into a brand-new album. This album earns its own URL that bypasses the grid view and launches a light-box automatically.

Kill every parameter after the ID–no edit, no usp, no ouid. The resulting 53-character path fires the deck to load direct into kiosk mode on any device that hits it.
