How to Upload a Slideshow to SlideShare

Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 1: Open SlideShare.net in your web browser.

   Type your login credentials into the blanks, or click “Login with LinkedIn” to use your LinkedIn credentials instead.
   
   You need to be a LinkedIn member to use SlideShare.
   
   If you don’t have an account with LinkedIn, create one now. , You’ll see this button at the top right corner of the page. ,, Once the upload is complete, you’ll see a thumbnail of the file.SlideShare supports the following slideshow formats: .pdf, .ppt, .pps, .pptx, .ppsx, .potx, .odp.
   
   The maximum slideshow file size is 300mb. , By default, the first line of text in the presentation will appear in the box.
   
   If you don’t want to keep that title, delete the text and type something new. , Click the Privacy drop-down to make your selection.
   
   Public:
   Anyone who searches the SlideShare site could potentially find and view your slideshow.
   
   Private – Anyone with Link:
   People cannot find your slideshow by searching SlideShare, but they will be able to view it if you share with them its URL.
   
   Private – Only Me:
   Your slideshow will only be accessible to you, and only when you are logged in to SlideShare. , Click the “Category” drop-down to pick a category that’s suitable for your slideshow. , What you type in this box depends on what you plan to do with your slideshow.
   
   If you make your slideshow public and want people to find it, type something that’ll give people an idea of what your presentation is all about.
   
   If the slideshow will stay private, type something that will jog your memory. , If you want people to stumble upon your slideshow when searching the web (or browsing SlideShare), type keywords (“tags”) that pertain to your presentation.
   
   Be sure to separate each tag with a comma (,).For example, if your slideshow is about teaching kindergartners to read, you might add these tags: children, literacy, reading, education.
   
   Notice that the green “Discoverability Score” bar grows in length as you add tags.
   
   The longer the bar, the easier your slideshow will be for people to discover.
   
   If the slideshow will be public, you’ll want the bar to fill completely with green. , When the save is complete, your presentation will appear on the screen.
   
   You can move through the slideshow using the arrows just beneath the slides.
   
   If you want to change the tags, title, description, or category, click the “Edit” button beneath the preview.
   
   Click “Privacy Settings” to change the privacy level of the slideshow. , Now that your slideshow is on SlideShare, you can access it from anywhere.
