  • Slideshare offers tools for presenters

    I’ve been using a tool called Slideshare ever since a group asked if they could share one of my presentations with attendees about a year ago.

    The service allows you to upload PowerPoint and PDF slide decks and then converts them to a player that can be tagged and made public.

    Recently, they also added something called Slidecasts, which allow you to also upload and sync an audio file to create an entire online presentation if you like. As you see below, you can also embed the slides on a web page or blog. There are other ways to accomplish this same thing with the use of Camtasia or iMovie, but this one is really simple.

    Another thing I love about the site is that it’s a wealth of inspiration for what to do and what not to do when it comes to slide presentation design and content.

    If you present workshops, seminars, or just your latest ideas as a small business owner or marketer, I would like to invite you to join a group I’ve formed on Slideshare just for small business presenters. Join the group and upload, share and comment great small business presentations in an effort to get better at this key marketing skill.

    • John,

      I agree -- Slideshare is an excellent tool! One of my favorite aspects of it is how much you can learn by viewing others presentations. There's a lot of brilliant and not so brilliant work there. It's like a learning lab!

    • Slideshare is also great because if your work is decent, they feature it on their landing page. Users are encouraged to network and you can make a presentation a "favorite" to use for later inspiration.

      I really like Slideshare!
    • Cool tool. I've been needing something like this. Going to use it as a training tool.
    • John...I'm glad we posted your slideshow online from last year's conference. In only 7 months it's received 966 views and counting. Slideshare is a fantastic resource for community colleges and educational instutions everywhere. It's also AWESOME to embed a slideshow next to a movie. I call them 'Live Slideshows'.

    • I'll have to give them some more attention, especially after Lani's comment. We have been using Spresent.com over on our site. Here's an example
