How to Get Featured on the Front Page of SlideShare | Venngage

How to Get Featured on the Front Page of SlideShare | Venngage | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Let’s put it this way–if there are 70 million business owners looking at the content on SlideShare every month, then there is a good opportunity for you to take advantage of that traffic and redirect some of it back to your own site.

But here are a couple of problems I have encountered in my attempt to upload content to SlideShare:

  • If you’re not on the featured page, you probably won’t get a whole lot of traffic.
  • Presentations that are on the featured page seem to stay there for more than a week.


So if whatever I create will only get me tons of traffic if it makes it to the featured section, but I can’t get on to the featured section unless I can prove my content is worthwhile, and it takes FOREVER for the featured section to rotate content, then I might as well just give up because life seems too impossible right now, right?

 

Wrong.

Being the impatient person that I am, I decided that rather than figuring out how to get my presentation to the featured section on my own, I would ask the pros. After all, these are people whose presentations have been featured multiple times and who seem to have the method down pat!

I personally reached out to every single one of the experts listed below and got some exclusive nuggets of wisdom, which I will now share with you and the rest of the world. Instead of giving you false information that would likely lead you on a wild SlideShare goose chase, I’ve rounded up some highly actionable tips from the ones who have mastered SlideShare altogether....

The Best SlideShare Presentations of 2014 [SlideShare]

The Best SlideShare Presentations of 2014 [SlideShare] | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
I don't know about you, but I love SlideShare -- both as a marketer, and just as a regular person who likes to look at cool presentations.

As a marketer, I love that the platform lets you create and publish interactive, beautiful pieces of content without a ton of design experience. As a person who likes to look at cool presentations, I love that there are tons of great ones to choose from that cover all manner of topics.
That being said, I do have one gripe with SlideShare: With so much content to choose from, it can be difficult to figure out which presentations are actually worth your time.

Well, discovering the best presentations just became a lot easier: The folks over at SlideShare sorted through and handpicked the very best SlideShare presentations of 2014 and put them together into the SlideShare below. (So meta, I know.) Flip through to see the top presentations from 2014 on business, leadership, design, and career development (among others). Find one you like? Click on the slide itself to be taken to the presentation. 

By the end, you'll have plenty of presentation to inspire your next deck ... or at the very least, teach you something new.
