What is SlideShare
3. History of SlideShare
SlideShare was launched on October 4th, 2006 by Rashni
Sinha (Named one of the world’s Top 10 Women
Influencers in Web 2.0).
SlideShare was acquired by LinkedIn in 2012.
The website/app was initially made to be used by
businesses to share slides with employees, but now has
expanded to the use of entertainment.
4. Why SlideShare
By your presentations being able to be viewed publicly,
you can easily increase your brand awareness and
market reach.
SlideShare is mobile compatible.
SlideShare presentations are ranked above blog articles,
new stories, and sometimes YouTube videos by Google.
The website estimates about 70 million unique visitors a
month and has about 38 million registered users.
5. Role within Sports
SlideShare isn’t necessarily based through or within
sports, but information in sport can be found throughout
the website.
SlideShare can easily be used within sport organizations
to share files directly to the rest of the organization with
ease.
Since SlideShare will be more frequently found in Google
Search, creating a presentation can increase traffic to
your website and increase your reputation or brand.
6. SlideShare vs. Social Medias

SlideShare you are connected to the biggest professional
social media platform in the world.
Along with the other big social media platforms,
SlideShare is free and allows contact forms for people to
reach out.
You can include links and visual calls to action to increase
your presentation views.
You have the possibility to connect and entertain with a
new audience.
