SlideShare is a site where files can be uploaded and then shared and viewed with as many people around the world as you would like. Many businesses use this as a way to send information to a potential client. SlideShare also works as a platform to share information in a similar way to YouTube, where people can search for your files and view them, and this can bring more traffic to your website.
Isn’t it Just A Glorified PowerPoint?
SlideShare works by allowing users to upload any form of slideshow presentation. The presentations can contain PDF files, video, audio, pictures, and words, basically any type of digital content; and then publish them in a public forum for other users to search and view. According to the SlideShare website there are over 12 million unique visitors a month and over 100 million users worldwide, the traffic coming and in out of this site is all business related.
SlideShare is a great lead generation platform because it is targeted at businesses and the users are all primarily business related. A user can search for a topic within the SlideShare website and if your presentation is on a public viewing platform (as opposed to private) any user can view your presentation. More people viewing your work means more leads and more traffic back to your website.

Posting presentations on SlideShare can also increase your SEO ranking. Not only does it increase the general number of links to and from your website to boost rankings, but it also can help get your website shared with other blogs and media outlets online. SlideShare also works on mobile devices, so all cell phone users and tablets can view your presentation too.
