Tip #1. Design a KILLER
Title Slide • BACKGROUND - Find a background image that is colorful, bright and captures attention. • FONT - Write your title with a font that’s easy to see, even if your presentation is viewed much smaller (as it is on Slideshare) • TITLE - Make your title so compelling that visitors must click on it.

Tip #2. Cheat Customizations •
FONTS & SHADOWS – Will help make your presentation unique but will not import into Slideshare. Here’s how to cheat… • EXPORT – Set your fonts, adjust your shadows, then export the presentation with the file type set to images. Build a new presentation with the images as the slides or export as PDF and upload!

Tip #3 Fill in Your
Notes NOTES – are the sections under your slide in PowerPoint. If you fill them in, Slideshare will display them on Slideshare – providing your Slideshare presentation page with additional content that can attract search engine traffic.

Tip #4 Insert Links •
LINKS – are properly converted by the Slideshare system when you insert them! • SOCIAL – if you’re really good… you can even get your readers to from your Slideshare presentation! Click the Tweet button! (Thank @kmullett for that tip)

Tip #5 Go PRO •
PRO – offers you advanced analytics and lead generation! That’s right… insert a form directly in your Slideshare presentation to capture leads. It’s only $19 a month!

Tip #6 Complete Your Profile

Tip #7 Use Words SPARINGLY
VISUAL – Slideshare is a visual medium. Use only enough Words to get the point across!

Tip #8 Optimize People find
presentations through search engines and through Slideshare’s internal search… so utilize keywords effectively in the Slideshare details: • TITLES • TAGS • DESCRIPTIONS

Tip #9 Add Slideshare to
LinkedIn

Tip #10 Promote! Promote! Promote!
So… it’s finally posted. You’re not done! Promote it on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, your blog... EVERYWHERE! Pssst… And a few months later, promote it AGAIN!
