SlideShare provides an interesting way to market your blog outside of the normal social media choices, such as Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and YouTube. 

<h2>What is SlideShare?</h2>

SlideShare has been ranked at one of the top 200 most visited websites for a while now. It receives a ton of traffic from business owners and it's one of the largest sites for content sharing when it comes to business professionals.

The website allows users to upload and view infographics, PowerPoints and other types of presentation. People from all over the world add content about different industries. It's a great place for professional content about law, leadership, software, business, social media and a number of other topics. The presentations are very quick and to the point, which makes them very appealing for entrepreneurs.

Of course, the main reason is the 70 million users the site has and the fact that more than 80% of their traffic comes from Google search. With the right titles and tags, you can easily get your content ranked high on Google through SlideShare.

Other reasons to use SlideShare to market your blog include:
<ul>
<li>Demographics - Unlike many social media platforms, SlideShare has a very professional demographic. This works out well for those targeting business owners and not the everyday consumer.</li>
<li>Less Competitive - While SlideShare is very large, it's not YouTube large or Facebook large. This means less competition when you put up your content.</li>
<li>User-Friendly - If you know how to create a PowerPoint, you can easily use SlideShare.</li>
<li>Visual, Audio and Written Content - You don't just create a slideshow on SlideShare. You can add audio, visual and written content to better reach your target market.</li>
</ul>
These are just the main reasons you should be using SlideShare to market your blog. It's a great tool for branding and sharing, especially if you target business professionals.

<h2>SlideShare Content Creation</h2>

Successfully marketing on SlideShare means you will need to create click-worthy presentations. This is much like any other type of content marketing, as the titles and tags make a big difference. For bloggers, using SlideShare should be very easy. You can simply add a presentation as an outline of the information you put into a blog post. Just do this in a slideshow, .pdf or infographic and you're all set.
