SlideShare is a source for you to “Upload and share your PowerPoint & Keynote presentations, Word & PDF documents on SlideShare. Add audio to make a webinar. Capture leads with your presentation.”

Many of you have seen how I landed myself a position at Comet Branding through my SlideShare presentation, “Laura Gainor Utiliziing Social Media.” I created this presentation to compile my “get hired” strategy to get the attention of the Comet Partners, Al Krueger and Sara Meaney. This is one example how you can differentiate your brand and reach a large audience through social media.

You can also check out this presentation, created by SlideShare themselves, as to why you should SlideShare.

Boutelle and Lu will be joining Comet in a discussion to talk further about these SlideShare features. There are numerous creative and unique ways on how you can present your brand, while utilizing recent SlideShare feature updates.

Below are my top 10 ways SlideShare can be utilized:

1. Provides a seamless way to embed presentations/resumes/documents into blogs, distribute via Twitter/LinkedIn/Facebook/Websites.

2. Businesses can discover new trends and interesting presentations related to their interest on SlideShare.

3. SlideShare offers companies a way to share presentations discreetly on intranets as well as on private sites.

4. Consumers can join groups on SlideShare and establish themselves as an industry expert.

5. Consumers can easily incorporate social media tools into their SlideShare presentations to help them go viral.

6. People can embed SlideShare presentations into their LinkedIn account to boost their profile and offer enhanced resume/work experience.

7. SlideShare helps boost search engine rankings for documents (use this to become an industry leader; promote documents/deliverables).

8.  SlideShare helps bring life to case studies.

9.  SlideShare offers branded channels for businesses.

10. SlideShare can get you a job! Get creative and create your own virtual resume, displaying your capabilities and talents to potential employers. (Oh, and did you hear Comet is hiring again?)
